To use
When you select the Custom_Setup, additional controls are put on the display so you can browse
for a setup file. The usual idea is to start with a setup that is close to what you want, use the UI
to specify the settings you desire, and then save the result. When you enter a new name for the
file in the file
name text control, press Enter to have your editing changes accepted. Then select
the Save button to actually save the setup into the file. To recall a setup file, just browse to the
file you want a nd select Open. The default location for Error Detector setup files in Win7 is
C:\Users\Public\Tektronix\TekScope\ErrorDetector.
From the Source Setup tab, select the Serial Bus, Data Rate and signal Source from the drop-down
lists.
Click the Error Detection option button for the type of error you want to detect.
