The following instructions direct you through the process of upgrading the TLA
application software on your TLA logic analyzer. These instructions apply only
to instruments with TLA Application Software V4.0 or higher. To install the
TLA application software on a PC, see Installing the TLA Application SoftwareonaPCbeginning on page 19.
Contact your nearest Tektronix, Inc., Service Center or Tektronix Factory Service
for installation assistance.
Upgrade Instruction Overview
The basic upgrade procedure is to manually remove the older software, update
the drives, and reinstall the new software. The upgrade steps are listed in this
document.
While performing the upgrade procedures, keep the following items in mind:
HThroughout this procedure you will see the term “log on as Administrator.”
The instrument is set up to automatically log on as Administrator (with no
password) so you may not see the log in prompt. If the network setups have
been changed on your instrument, make sure that you log on as Administrator or as a user who has administrator privileges. Failure to do so can prevent
the software upgrade from completing successfully.
HAfter logging on as administrator, quit any applications.
HIf your instrument does not display the file extensions, you need to change
your folder options to display the file extensions. (From the Control Panel,
double-click Folder Options, select the View tab, and then deselect the “Hide
file extensions for known file types” selection.)
HUse the Windows Add or Remove Programs Control Panel utility to remove
existing software.
HYou will be asked to restart Windows after you install each software
package. If you do not restart Windows when prompted your software may
not install properly and can cause unpredictable behavior.
HIf Windows does not restart normally, press and hold the On/Standby button
for five or six seconds to force a shutdown.
HYou may be asked to remove some software packages that may not be loaded
on your instrument. If this is the case, skip those instructions.
