New Features and Improvements

Several changes have been made to the MTS 200 Series that add new capabili­ties, improve performance, or affect required procedures.

Software Keying

Version 2.5 of the MPEG Test System software uses a Rainbow Technologies
Sentinel SuperProt software key (“dongle”). Most MPEG Test System
applications will start and remain operational only if the key remains attached to
the parallel port of the test system computer. Software keying is transparent
during normal operation and permits activating options at any time simply by
entering a license password that is unique to the particular option and your key.

Figure 1: Software key

NOTE. Do not remove the key from the parallel port. Do not exchange keys with
another test system. If you return the test system to Tektronix for upgrade or
repair, always include the key.

R

Table 2 lists the applications that are standard in each of the MTS200 series
instruments. Note that MTS200 series instruments are manufactured with files,
icons, and menu items for all MTS applications that will work with the installed
hardware, even though some applications are not standard with that test system
model (or option). You can try all unlicensed applications free of charge for
thirty days; see Demonstration License on page 5 for further information.
