Re: Identify TDS640A 'hackable' options via serial number?


 

Yes, color Proc boards are different from monochrome. Thay have additional
color video schematics.
Regarding 1M and 2M,
If we look inside the oscilloscope, we can see which type of memory is
being used: 64K or 1M (on the Acq. board)

Jared, and how i can disable 1F option? (All the 640 have a floppy. I don't
have a floppy and tried to disable it in EEPROM. But, no way: with both
possible values i have an error regarding 1F)

As far as I know, the VGA output provides exactly the same image as on the
CRT. So a monochrome scope will output a monochrome image via VGA.


As for enabling options, the link provided above by walkerru3 to the info
I posted on eevblog forum is everything you need to know.
According to the user manual here (page A-1):


You have the following options available:
1F - Floppy Disk Drive (Requires the floppy drive to be installed)
13 - RS-232/Centronics Hardcopy Interface (Requires the serial interface
to be installed)
05 - Video Trigger (Requires the Video Trigger board to be installed)
2F - Advanced DSP Math (No prerequisites, can be software enables with no
additional parts)

You can also try enabling option 2M and see if it works. Just reboot the
scope and see if it shows up on the boot splash screen. If not, then
disable it and try 1M instead, rinse and repeat.
