Does anyone know where I can find a copy of the adjustment software
for a Tektronix TDS544A oscilloscope? It's a small DOS program that's
required to make all electrical adjustments.

According to the service manual, the same software is also used for
the TDS520A, 524A, and 540A. It's not on their web site, and I doubt
they will want to help since its over 15 years old.

Well, Tektronix was no help. What happened to that company? They
used to have good customer service, but now all they care about is
selling new test equipment. Poor legacy support has got to be hurting
their sales.

I don't expect parts to be available forever, but considering what
these things cost new, they should at least make the old software
available for download.

If I can download a driver for a 15 year laptop from IBM, then why not
an expensive oscilloscope from Tektronix?

They got bought up by a company named Danaher, and have apparently
become a sweatshop. Danaher also owns Fluke.

Hello Andy, if it's not too much trouble, I'd like a copy. Where did you
manage to find it? Is it possible to make a ISO image, or zip it up and
email?

Thanks!

Hi Paul, Andy sent me a copy a few weeks ago. I sent a copy to you, but it
bounced. I removed the "0" in your email address, and it still bounced.
You should give a valid email when making requests.

Funny that I posted it to http://www.ko4bb.com yet it doesn't seem to be
there now...

It was there a few weeks ago under new software not sorted.

If anyone gets it working, be sure to share any tips. I haven't had a
chance to try it yet, but I will post back as soon as I do.

I still haven't gotten around to putting together a system with an ISA bus
slot, or even found the specific NI PC2A/PCIIA ISA card at a reasonable
price. (Reasonable being $50 or so.) When I get the card, I suppose
that'll give me some motivation.
