Firmware Upgrade
Firmware Upgrade
This section describes how to upgrade the firmware of the TG700 mainframe.
You do not need to upgrade the instrument firmware if the firmware version
ontheCD-ROMprovidedwiththiskitisthesameasthefirmware version
already installed on your TG700 mainframe. In this case, proceed to Installation
Instructions. (Seepage10.)
CAUTION. If the firmware version of the CD-ROM provided with this kit is later
than the firmware version installed on your TG700 mainframe, be sure to upgrade
the firmware of the mainframe before installing the module.
Equipment Required
The following equipment is required to upgrade the firmware:
PC with Windows 2000/Vista/XP/7 and Ethernet interface installed
10 BASE-T Ethernet cable (crossover or straight)
TG700 Signal Generator Platform Software Library CD-ROM provided with
the new module
2TG700 Module Installation

Firmware Upgrade
Mainframe Memory Requirements
With software version 5.6, the TG700 mainframe must have at least 32 MB of
memory installed. If you intend to install frame picture files (*.pic), created by the
Frame Picture Generator application for the DVG7, HDVG7, AVG7, or AWVG7
modules, or if you intend to install bitmap frame picture files (*.bmp) for the SDI7
module, then the mainframe must have 64 MB of memory installed.
Software Upgrades If your existing mainframe has 32 MB of memory and you have loaded the TG700
memory with frame picture files, you may not be able to upgrade the instrument to
software version 5.6.
If you receive a memory error while attempting to upgrade the software version,
you need to either delete some of the frame picture files or upgrade your
instrument to 64 MB of memory.
Memory Upgrades Option FP provided extra memory, which allowed the TG700 mainframe to
support the Frame Picture Generator application. This option is no longer
necessary for new TG700 mainframes.
If you have an older mainframe with less than 64 MB of memory, you can increase
the memory in your mainframe to 64 MB by ordering the following upgrade kit:
040-1698-xx. Contact your local Tektronix representative for more information.

10 TG700 Module Installation

Installation Instructions
Installing a Module
To install a module into an empty slot in the mainframe, perform the following
procedure:
1. Unplug the power cord from the power connector on the rear panel of the
mainframe.
2. Use the following guidelines to select the slot where you will install the
module. The following figure shows a sample module configuration with
the associated slot numbers.
For AGL7 and GPS7 modules, only one of these modules can be installed
in the TG700 mainframe at a time, and it must be installed only in slot 1.
All other modules may be installed in any slot location.
CAUTION.When installing a GPS7 module into an existing mainframe, you
must perform the TG700 mainframe oven calibration procedures. Refer to
the Configure the GPS7 Module section in the TG700 TV Signal Generator
Platform User Manual for instructions.
For AG7, ATG7, AVG7, BG7, DVG7, HDLG7, and SDI7 modules, up to
four of the modules can be installed in the TG700 mainframe.
The HD3G7, AWVG7, and HDVG7 modules consume higher power
than most of the TG700 modules. Because of this, there can only be
a maximum of three of these modules installed at one time. If an
HDVG7 module that has a rear-panel fan is installed, then only one other
high-power module may be installed with it.
When the maximum number of these high-power modules are installed
the lower-power modules (AG7, ATG7, AVG7, BG7, DVG7, HDLG7, or
SDI7) may be installed in any of the remaining available slots.
