Connect the oscilloscope probes to the Probe Compensation connector on the
front panel of the DSO module. You can then run the Calibrate Probe function in
each vertical setup page for the module.
To check the mainframe diagnostics not covered by the TLA 700 Series
Application software. Run the QAPlus diagnostics or the TLA 700 Mainframe
Diagnostics located under the Windows 95 Start menu under the Tektronix
TLA 700 programs. Exit the TLA 700 Series Application before running the
external diagnostics.
Create an Emergency Startup Disk
Now that you have completed the basic installation process, you should create an
emergency startup disk that you can use to restart your logic analyzer in case of a
major hardware or software failure. You should create this disk and then store it
in a safe place.
The emergency startup disk contains basic files to restart your logic analyzer. It
also contains files to check and format the hard disk.
Follow these steps to create the emergency startup disk:
1. Exit the TLA 700 Series application.
2. Click on the Windows 95 Start button, point to Settings, and click Control
Panel.
3. In the Control Panel window, double-click Add/Remove Programs.
4. Select the Startup Disk property page.
5. Insert a floppy disk into the disk drive and follow the on-screen instructions
to create the startup disk.
Back Up User Files
You should always back up your user files on a regular basis. Use the Win-
dows 95 Back Up tool to back up files stored on the hard disk. The Back Up tool
is located in the System Tools folder in the Accessories folder. Start the tool and
determine which files and folders that you want to back up. Use the Windows 95
online help for information on using the Back Up tool.
