VMUPG Option Upgrades
Installation Instructions
NOTE. The Laplink
(174-3800-XX) is an optional accessory and not supplied with
the kit. The Laplink must be ordered separately.
When you receive your upgrade kit(s) for your VM700T, VM700A VMTB or
VM700A VMTX Video Measurement set you will receive only one option key.
The new option key is a unique alpha-numeric number that is used to activate the
authorized options for a specific measurement set. It is based on the currently
installed options plus the new option(s) being added or deleted for the upgrade.
Previously installed option firmware is upgraded to the latest version compatible
with the VM700T Video Measurement Set.
Continue with these instructions if you are installing one or more of the firmware
only options that do not require additional hardware to be installed. If you are
installing any of the hardware options (Option 1S, Option 40, Option 41,
Option 48, or Option 3D) as part of this upgrade, follow the instructions
provided with those option upgrade kits.
These instructions are for personnel familiar with the VM700T Video Measurement Set. For further assistance call your nearest Tektronix, Inc., Service Center
or Tektronix Factory Service.

Installation Instructions
Install the Firmware
Upgrade
The firmware upgrade is performed using the floppy disks supplied with this kit.
The installation program on the floppy disks copies the firmware-upgrade
software to your PC. You will upgrade your measurement set using the installed
software on your PC hard drive. Complete instructions for performing the
firmware upgrade are included in the installation program.
The minimum PC hardware and operating system requirements for performing
the firmware upgrade are listed below:
Hardware requirements
12 MB of free disk space on hard drive MS/DOS (5.0 or later), Windows 3.1, or Windows
386 microprocessor or better
3.5 in. floppy disk drive
LapLink parallel cable (Tektronix part
number 174-3800-00)

The installation program will not run under Windows NT.
Operating system requirements
95/98

Load the Firmware
Upgrade Software
To load the firmware-upgrade software on your PC, perform the following
procedure:
1. Insert the provided Program Disk into a floppy disk drive on your PC.
NOTE. The installation program defaults to an installation source of drive A: and
a destination of drive C:. You will be prompted by the installation program to
verify or change the source and destination drives as required by your system.
2. Install the upgrade software using one of the following command lines:
H From Windows 3.1 or MS/DOS
run INSTALL.BAT
H From Windows 95/98
run INSTALL.95
3. Follow the screen prompts to complete the loading of the software for the
firmware upgrade.

VMUPG Option Upgrades
Installation Instructions
Upgrade Your
Measurement Set
Once you have installed the firmware-upgrade software on your PC, you can
upgrade multiple VM700T or Turbo VM700A measurement sets without having
to reload the floppy disks. To upgrade the firmware of a VM700T or Turbo
VM700A measurement set from your PC, perform the following procedure:
CAUTION. To avoid loading incorrect firmware into your measurement set, be
sure to use the correct firmware-image archive number for the instrument
firmware you want to install. If you have installed multiple firmware images, you
will have more than one firmware-image directory. If you load the wrong
firmware, repeat the firmware upgrade using the correct firmware version.
The firmware-upgrade installation program creates a directory under the
VM_UPGRD directory using the current firmware-image archive number loaded
on the floppy disk set. The firmware-image number is based on a date using a
format of year, month, and day. In most situations, you will want to load the
latest version of the firmware into your measurement set.
NOTE. Do not perform this upgrade if your firmware image number is 030930 or
higher.
1. If your firmware image number is lower than 030930, change the working
directory on your PC to the following firmware-image directory:
<destination drive>\VM_UPGRD\F_<archive number>
For example, if you load the firmware-upgrade software to a destination
drive of C:\ and your firmware archive number is 000815, then your
command-line directory should look like the following:
C:\VM_UPGRD\F_000815
2. Connect the LapLink cable between the PC and the measurement set.
NOTE. To perform the firmware upgrade on multiple measurement sets, you will
need to run the BURN.BAT program on each individual instrument.
3. Windows 3.1 or MS/DOS only. To perform the firmware upgrade,
run BURN.BAT and follow the prompts.
4. Windows 95/98 only. To perform the firmware upgrade, run BURN.BAT
from Windows Explorer and follow the prompts.
After Installing the Firmware. After installing the firmware upgrades go to Install
the New Option Key refer to page 47.

Installation Instructions
Hardware Option Upgrades
CAUTION. To prevent static discharge damage, service the measurement set only
at an antistatic work station. Observe standard handling precautions for
static-sensitive devices while installing this kit. Always wear a grounded wrist
strap, grounded foot strap, and static resistant apparel while installing this kit.
These instructions are for personnel familiar with servicing. If you need further
details for disassembling or reassembling the measurement set, refer to the
product service manual. For further assistance call your nearest Tektronix, Inc.,
Service Center or Tektronix Factory Service.
Tools Required
Instrument Preparation
The following tools are required to install the option upgrades.
H Pozidriv screwdriver, P2
H Torx screwdriver, T20
H Soldering iron, 15W or less, fine tip or SMD soldering iron
The following information prepares your instrument for hardware option
upgrades.
WARNING. Dangerous shock hazards may be exposed when the measurement set
covers are removed. Before proceeding, ensure that both power switches are in
the off position (see Figures 1 and 2), and then disconnect the measurement set
from the power source.
NOTE. The following instructions are for general reference. Check your option
upgrade section for specific cover panel removal instructions.
Cover Panels. The four cover panels are positioned with slotted corner extrusions
and fastened with screws to the instrument rear panel. Removing each cover
panel requires removing its fastening screws on the rear panel and sliding the
panel toward the rear of the instrument and out of the grooves in the chassis
frame. Replacing each cover panel is the reverse of the removal procedure.
12
1. Remove the screws from the edge of the cover panels. See Figure 1.
