What to do if Tektronix TDS3000 Test Equipment RS-232 debug menu displays CTS: Low?
If the Tektronix Test Equipment RS-232 debug menu displays CTS: Low, and the oscilloscope is using hard flagging, verify that the RS-232 cable is the recommended cable. Also, ensure that the personal computer program is using CTS/RTS hard flagging, as some cables may be wired without the CTS or RTS lines which are used by hard flagging.
Why does my Tektronix Test Equipment RS-232 Debug menu display Framing errors?
If the Tektronix Test Equipment RS-232 Debug menu displays Framing errors, it indicates a mismatch. This could be due to a baud rate mismatch, a data bits mismatch (the oscilloscope expects 8-bit data), or a parity mismatch between the oscilloscope and the personal computer. Note that the scope might be set to expect no parity.
What to do if Tektronix TDS3000 Test Equipment transmissions are incomplete?
If transmissions are incomplete, or the Tektronix Test Equipment oscilloscope does not process all commands from the personal computer, it may be caused by flagging not being used correctly by the oscilloscope or the personal computer (or they are using different types of flagging). Another possible cause is an EOL terminator mismatch between the oscilloscope and the personal computer.
What to do if Tektronix Test Equipment first message fails after sending a BREAK?
If your personal computer program sends a BREAK and the first message fails, verify that the personal computer program is waiting for and reading the DCL and end of line terminator response sent by the oscilloscope.
