Host instrument firmware
Some oscilloscopes might require a firmware upgrade to support full functionality of the P7700 TDP7700 Series probes.
Instruments with lower versions of firmware might not display all probe controls and indicators on screen, and in some
cases require you to power-cycle the instrument to restore normal instrument operation.
The following table lists the required versions of instrument firmware for some of the oscilloscopes that currently support the
P7700 TDP7700 Series probes.
Instrument Firmware version
MSO/DSA/DPO70000C Series oscilloscope V 10.7.1 or higher
DSA/DPO70000D Series oscilloscope V 10.7.1 or higher
MSO/DPO70000DX Series oscilloscope V 10.7.1 or higher
DSO70000SX Series oscilloscopes V 10.7.1 or higher
Instrument Firmware version
MSO6 Series oscilloscopes V 1.7.2 or higher
To check the firmware version on Windows-based instruments, from the menu bar, click Help/About TekScope. If you need
to upgrade your instrument firmware, go to www.tek.com/downloads to download the latest firmware.
Browser tip replacement
Note: Note: It may be helpful to have a magnifying device or glasses when performing this operation.
The tips of the P77BRWSR P77BRWSR can break during use. If one of the tips on your browser breaks, it is easy to
replace the tip with a new one and be ready to make measurements again in a few seconds. To replace the tip, you will
need a pair of tweezers. Using the tweezers, grip the shaft of the tip and pull downward to remove it. Dispose of the broken
tip.
Once the old tip has been removed, retrieve a new, replacement tip from its storage vial in the accessory kit. Grip the
replacement tip with the tweezers, gently push the tip into the socket on the browser’s front end.
