Creating Oper
ating System Restore Discs
The instrument does not ship with an operating system restore disc. Use the following procedure to create a set of discs that
enable you to restore the operating system if the need arises.
CAUTION. Restoring the operating system reformats the hard disk drive. U ser data, including the ISO images, will be lost
(the Acronis Recovery partition and the related data are not destroyed). To avoid complications, create the operating system
restore discs before attempting to restore the operating system.
NOTE. This procedure creates a set of restore discs for the Microsoft W indows operating system. After restoring the
operating s ystem, reinstall the instrument application software. Go to the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com/software) to
download the product software, and follow the instructions to reinstall the instrument application software.

To create a set of restore discs:
1. On the instrument, navigate to C:\backup .
2. Using the USB flash drive (or through your LAN), transfer each of the files labeled restoreN.iso to the PC with the
DVD burner.
3. Using the DVD burning software, burn each of the backup ISO image files (restore1.iso to restoreN.iso) to a disc. Label
each o
f the discs with the backup file name, instrument name, instrument serial number, and date.
4. After
you have burned the OS restore discs, also place copies of the disk image files (*.iso) in a network location, on a
separate hard disk, or on optical media for backup purposes. (If you ever restore the instrument OS, the ISO images
on the instrument hard disk will be erased.)
5. Store the backup discs as defined by your company policy.

instrument restore discs. (S ee page 11, Creating Restore Discs .)
