How to move an option to a different host
You can return the license purchased and assign it to a different host.
Node locked license: Can be returned two times and assigned to a different host.
Floating license: Can be returned unlimited number of times and assigned to a
different host.
Free trials: Has the same capability as floating license, but expires after 14 days.
When assigning a floating license, you need to specify the host id or instrument
and the duration the feature is to be enabled on the host. After the license expires,
the feature is automatically disabled on host and the license on the TekAMS is
free to be assigned to a different host.

About TekScope Anywhere
In order to move the license to a different host, follow these steps:
1. Click Help > Install Options. Select the license to return and click Return
License.
2. Browse to the location where you would like to place the exit file (for
example, a network drive or a USB memory stick), and click Create Exit Key
to generate the exit file.
3. Login to your account on TekAMS (Tektronix Asset Management system)
and upload the exit file. Once the license is returned successfully, it can be
re-assigned to a different host or instrument.

About TekScope Anywhere
Measurement differences
between TekScope
Anywhere and
Oscilloscope
This section provides details about differences in measurement results or
behavior between the TekScope Anywhere application and prior oscilloscope
measurement systems.
1. Populations per waveform for Cycle-based measurements Cycle Min and
Cycle Max may be lower by one or two in TekScope Anywhere.
■
DPOJET treats each half-cycle separately.
■
TekScope Anywhere makes a measurement only on each full cycle and
will ignore incomplete cycles at the start or end of a waveform.
2. Population per waveform for Cycle Pk-Pk will be half that of DPOJET
(possibly minus 1 or 2 due to boundary conditions).
■
DPOJET advances on a half-cycle after each measurement. So if positive
and negative half cycles are labeled {P1, N1, P2, N2, P3...}, DPOJET for
example would measure pk-pk across {P1, N1}, then across {N1, P2},
then {P2, N2}, then {N2, P3}, and so on.
■
TekScope Anywhere only makes one measurement per cycle, so {P1,
N1}, then {P2, N2}, and so on.
3. The High and Low measurements from DPOJET are named BitHigh and
BitLow in TekScope Anywhere. High-Low is named BitAmplitude for
consistency.
4. The CCPeriod measurement in TekScope Anywhere returns a different
measurement time value for each result than DPOJET's CCPeriod does.
■
This is to make the convention common with all the other CC
measurements in TekScope Anywhere.
5. In DPOJET, the Median and Fixed variants of Constant Clock Recovery
perform an internal classification of Clock versus Data. TekScope Anywhere
uses a single unified method everywhere.
6. The J2 and J9 measurements in DPOJET use a slight approximation of the
desired target BER level of 2.5e-3, whereas TekScope Anywhere uses the
exact value. This leads to a slight result variation.
7. Precision for gating measurements by time has been improved. Due to the
increase in precision, the waveform points selected as being inside the range
may now be different from other products, causing gated measurements to
return a more precise result than they did previously.
8. The reference level algorithms have been improved for consistency. In
DPOJET, different algorithms were used depending on the particular data
type behind the waveform. Now all waveforms use the same algorithm
regardless of data type. Consequently, some variance in calculated reference
levels may be seen compared to results returned by DPOJET and TekScope.
The differences are due primarily to an improvement in how the Automatic
method works. In TekScope, the MinMax method may have been chosen by
TekScope Anywhere™ Help 9
About TekScope Anywhere
the Automatic method while now it will choose Histogram Mode. Check the
method readout to be sure you get the expected ref level method or manually
select the specific method you would like to use.
9. The reference level algorithms between DPOJET and the base TekScope
have been unified in one place. Each product used different names for the
same algorithm, so new names were selected:
TekScope Anywhere TekScope Name DPOJET Name
Absolute Absolute Absolute
Automatic Automatic Auto
Min-Max Min-Max Min-Max
Histogram Mode Histogram Mode Low-High (Full Wfm)
Histogram Mean Histogram Mean N/A
Histogram Eye Center N/A Low-High (Eye Center)
10. Histograms in DPOJET used a left-edge-of-bin convention when identifying
bin positions, but for convergence with scope base measurements this has
been changed to a center-of-bin convention. This may lead to small results
differences for measurements that use histograms internally.
11. Measurement metadata readouts for reference levels, bit rate, pattern length,
RjDj and other items will have been accurate at the time they were calculated
but may not match the current settings until they are refreshed. To get the
most recent results, go to the measurement result table and confirm the
measurement updated. Then go back to the portion of the UI with the readout
to get the latest value. If that particular item is not in use by any
measurement, the readout will not be calculated. For example, if no
measurements are using reference levels, the readout will just say "TBD".
12. For all type II PLLs (including Standard BW, Custom BW and ExplicitClock PLL), DPOJET has a defect that was preventing the velocity variable
inside the PLL loop from dynamically updating. This has been fixed in
TekScope Anywhere.
13. Results for measurements using Explicit Clock Edges and Explicit PLL clock
recovery types will vary compared to DPOJET due to several improvements
to the algorithm.
14. Clock recovery is only run when a specific measurement configuration
requires it to avoid extra calculation overhead. Because of this, display units
have become a requested setting. If clock recovery was run as part of a
measurement calculation, the result will be displayed using the Unit Interval
if requested. If clock recovery was not run, the measurement until will remain
the normal display unit (typically seconds) as if Unit Interval had not been
requested.
15. Units will not be shown across any of the panels when the Loop Bandwidth
is narrow because the width is insufficient to get enough points for the
measurement. Increasing the width of the filter will propagate units
everywhere.

Plots
Histogram plot horizontal axis scaling is wrong in some cases, typically when a
measurement result has an extremely small standard deviation. In this case, the
plot will have a few vertical bars in the center, with mostly blank space on either
side.
Save and recall
1. tr0 format - Only Synopsys and LyncxSpice formats are supported.

General notes
You can share data acquired on an oscilloscope for offline analysis with
TekScope Anywhere. There are features available on an oscilloscope that are not
supported by TekScope Anywhere. The following list provides details about the
behavior of TekScope Anywhere, when recalling a session file saved on a DPO/
DSA/MSO oscilloscope.
■
Digital Sources, Bus, Masks and Limit setting features are not supported by
TekScope Anywhere. If the session file has these features, they are ignored.
■
Hbar and Vbar cursors are not available for analysis on TekScope Anywhere.
If the session file has Hbar and Vbar cursors, they are mapped to Screen
cursors.
■
TekScope Anywhere does not support multiple zooms. If the session file has
multiple zooms, only the Zoom1 settings are recalled on TekScope
Anywhere.
■
Waveforms are recalled at zero position on TekScope Anywhere regardless
of the vertical position set on the oscilloscope.
■
Eye diagram autoscale settings are ignored on TekScope Anywhere.
■
Should the application crash on start up, removing this file may resolve the
issue:
C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Tektronix\TekScope Anywhere
\PowerUpSettings.ini
■
Microsoft Remote Desktop does not support the graphics used by this
software. Alternatives like TightVNC and Team Viewer are known to work.
