================================================================================
3. Known Limitations
- Before performing any test:
i. Ensure that the probes and test fixtures are connected properly.
ii. It is recommended to do the probe calibration.
If you do not follow the above steps, then the results may be invalid.
- Results: In Eye Diagram and Jitter Plot, if there is no data within a
histogram box, you will see the histogram readout on the plots as "--" and the
histogram will not be displayed. Increase the record length and try again.
- Eye Diagram clipping: If vertical offset of the signal is more than 50% of
the Vswing value, then the eye diagram gets clipped, or in extreme cases, it
might be blank. In such a case, the Result will be shown as conditional pass.
The software will also display a warning message suggesting the user to run
the Overshoot/Undershoot V-H and V-L tests.
- Report remarks/comments: If the remarks/comments are too long,
they might get clipped in the generated report.
- Generated reports can become fragmented during .rtf exporting when
graphics, tables, and result fields close to the right margin are used
in the layout. The default templates provided with this product are
left justified.
- If a printer is not configured on your oscilloscope, you may see a message
box, "You must first configure a printer." when you run the application. Click
OK and then configure a printer.
- In DPO70000 scopes, the Hide button does not bring the instrument application to full
screen. Clicking anywhere in instrument Application will achieve this.

4. Installation
4.1 TDSHT3 (HDMI Compliance Test Software)
By default, the TDSHT3 application resides on the hard drive of your
oscilloscope. If the application is not installed on the hard disk, perform
the following steps to install the application from the Optional
Applications Software on a Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM):
i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel
(the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector).
ii. Power on the oscilloscope to start Windows.
iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader
of the oscilloscope.
iv. The autorun utility will start the installation program. If the autorun
utility does not start up automatically, browse to the CD-ROM and
double-click launch.exe.
v. Click 'HDMI Compliance Test'.
vi. Click 'INSTALL NOW'.
vii. Follow the instructions given by the TDSHT3 InstallShield Wizard.
If Sun Microsystems' Java Runtime Environment (JRE) software is not
previously installed, then the InstallShield Wizard will prompt for
installing it. Follow the instructions to install the JRE. After
successful installation of JRE, choose to restart the oscilloscope
later and continue installing TDSHT3.
viii. When the installation is complete, the InstallShield Wizard asks if
you want to restart the oscilloscope. Click Yes.
ix. Enter the authorized Option Installation Key to enable the application.
The key is specific to the serialized oscilloscope and options for which
it was purchased. To enter the key number, follow these steps:
a. If the oscilloscope is powered on in the toolbar mode (default),
select the Menu button (upper right corner of the display) to
put the oscilloscope into menu-bar mode. In menu-bar mode, you
should see a PC-style menu across the top of the display.
b. Go to the Utilities menu in the menu bar and select Option
Installation.

If the DTG Pattern files are not installed on the DTG hard disk, perform the
following steps to install it from the Optional Applications Software on a
Windows-Based Oscilloscope Compact disc (CD-ROM):
i. If the keyboard is not installed, connect it to the oscilloscope rear panel
(the optional-accessory keyboard plugs into the USB connector).
ii. Power on the DTG to start Windows.
iii. Install the optional applications software CD in the CD-ROM reader
of the DTG.
