N1010A FlexDCA and 86100A/B/C/D
Firmware Release Notes
• Autoscale hung when acquisition stopped before using autoscale
• Autoscale failure on math waveform turns on other waveforms
• :VIEW CGM does not work after BLANk if a measurement command is sent first
• :DISplay:DATa? returns inconsistent color scheme
• :DISK:LOAD returns error 46 if in Oscilloscope mode
• TDR fails vertical calibration if Threshold is set to "Units"
• RZ eye width algorithm seems to place L open too close to mean; modified 
algorithm for unsymmetrical edges
• Module Delta Temperature reflects Mainframe temperature, not module
• Module calibration time comes from 2 different sources; problem during daylight 
savings time change
• Measurement Limit Test still displays measurement after it's been turned off
• Histogram tab stops displaying histogram data after math function
• Delta Y now only shows value in Measurement Results tab when the units are the 
same
• Databases dump when switching between RZ & NRZ measurements
• Cannot select CGM as source with :WAVEFORM:SOURCE+B34 command
• Cannot change channel offset for differential TDR channels
• :WAVEFORM:DATA? Returns incorrect values in ASCII mode
• :MEAS:CGRADE:JITTER? Does not return correct values; wasn't using source 
specified in :MEAS:SOURCE
• :CHAN#:UNIT:ATT, :CHAN#:UNIT:OFF and :CHAN#:PROBE now blocked when 
stimulus is on
A.02.20 Release Notes,  August 2, 2001 (Differences from Release 
A.02.10)
New Feature List
• Japanese Language Help
• Support for 86106B
• Support for 86109B
• Support for 86102U
Defects Fixed:
• Fixed defect that prevents the mask margins from being enabled when a setup 
file containing margin information is loaded.
• Fixed defect that forced users to reload masks after performing an autoscale while 
running mask test.
• The acquisition speed while eye measurements are turned on, which had been 
previously degraded by a factor of four or five, is now fixed.
• GPIB disk store goes to setup directory instead of specified directory, this is now 
fixed.
• Resolved a problem with the RZ remote query for contrast ratio which causes the 
instrument to crash while in eye mode.
• The remote command mask load (MTES:LOAD) does not work in "C:\User 
Files\Directory, this defect has been resolved.
• Modules insufficiently inserted produce an error message in the mainframe that 
tell the user to reinsert with more force.
