Hi Kees,<br> <br> The TDS3054B uses a DS1742 for its data and time settings. This chip has an internal lithium battery which powers it when external power is off.<br> From the symptoms you reported it sounds like this chip has become defective (at least its battery) and so would require replacement or repair.

<p>Hi Michael,</p> <p></p> <p>I do not have a specific example, but I believe you would use the <code>save</code>&#160; and <code>saveon</code> group of commands, listed on page 2-92 and 2-93.&#160;</p>

Hi Robert,<br> <br> The front panel and SCPI commands should both give you all the possible sample rates for the machine.<br> <br> I would suggest manually entering in the desired record length for your chosen horizontal scale and sample rate. I was able to set the sample rate to 100 MS/s and I have attached a picture of that with this post.

<div class="linenums prettyprint">Hi Michael,</div> <p><br> Just to be clear, <a href="https://www.tek.com/en/products/software/tekscope-pc-analysis-software">TekScope</a> and <a href="https://forum.tek.com/viewtopic.php?t=140451">TekScope Utility</a> are two completely different softwares.<br> <br> Yes, TekScope Utility was slow because at 50 GS/s for a 1 ms long acquisition, results in 50 Mpts, which is a pretty long waveform to transfer. If you require less points than that then you will see a significant speedup.<br> <br> I have included an example of downloading waveform data with Python3 from an MSO2/4/5/6.</p>

Hi Michael,<br> <br> I do not see the limitation you are talking, <a href="https://forum.tek.com/viewtopic.php?t=140451">TekScope Utility</a> was able to data log waveforms over 1 ms at 50 GS/s, although slowly due to slow connection speeds.<br> <br> If the connection speeds are a limitation for you, then saving to &quot;disk&quot; (the instrument's SSD) will be significantly faster than transferring through USB. If you would like to save to a networked SSD then that's also possible and still significantly faster than USB transfers.<br> <br> In terms of resources for remote control programming, your best friend will be the <a href="https://www.tek.com/en/sitewide-content/manuals/4/5/6/4-5-6-series-mso-programmer-manual">programmer's manual.</a>

Hi Birjit,<br> <br> This <a href="https://forum.tek.com/viewtopic.php?f=580&amp;t=133570">thread </a>has several examples for the MDO4000, including one on acquiring waveform data and displaying it

Hi Robert,<br> <br> The MDO34 does not allow you to manually set the sample rate, it has to be set through a combination of the horizontal scale (<code>horizontal:scale</code>) and record length (<code>horizontal:recordlength</code>).<br> <br> Additionally, if speed is a concern to you, then I would suggest changing <code>data:encdg</code>to &quot;fastest&quot; or some other binary mode. That will result in a significant speedup from ASCII encoding.

There isn't any public documentation of this issue, that I am aware of.

Hi Michael,<br> <br> There's an issue where probe tips are sometimes not detected (usually when swapping them quickly), this will be fixed in upcoming firmware releases.

Hi,<br> <br> The licenses included in the bundles are explained here: <a href="https://www.tek.com/en/documents/brochure/software-bundles-for-the-4-5-and-6-series-mso-oscilloscopes">https://www.tek.com/en/documents/brochure/software-bundles-for-the-4-5-and-6-series-mso-oscilloscopes</a><br> The IMDA-MECH license is indeed included with the 5-PRO-POWER.
