TDSUSB2 Universal Serial Bus Measurement Package 1

Introduction
The application runs on the oscilloscope and displays on the lower part of the
screen. The oscilloscope application runs on the upper part of the screen.
Online Help and Related Documentation
You can access the information on how to operate the application and the
oscilloscope through the following related documents and online help.
Click Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSUSB2 > Help to access the
Online Help.
Click Start > Programs > TekApplications > TDSUSB2 > Help (PDF
Version) to access the PDF version of the Online Help.
Using Online Help
Online help has many advantages over a printed manual because of advanced
search capabilities. Select Help on the right side of the application menu bar to
bring up the help file.
The main (opening) Help screen shows a series of book icons and three tabs
along the top menu, each of which offers a unique mode of assistance:
 Tables of Contents (TOC) tab -organizes the Help into book-like sections.
Select a book icon to open a section; select any of the topics listed under the
book.
 Index tab - enables you to scroll a list of alphabetical keywords. Select the
topic of interest to bring up the appropriate help page.
 Search tab - allows a text-based search. Follow these steps:
1. Type the word or phrase you want to find in the search box
2. Select some matching words in the next box to narrow your search
3. Choose a topic in the lower box, and then select the Display button
 To print a topic, select the Print button from the Help Topics menu bar.
 Select Options from the menu bar for other commands, such as
Refresh.
 Select the Back button to return to the previous help window. Use the
Hyperlink to jump from one topic to another. If the Back button is
grayed out or a jump is not available, choose the Help Topics button to
return to the originating help folder.
2 TDSUSB2 Universal Serial Bus Measurement Package

Introduction
 Browse buttons (Next >> and Previous <<) allow you to move forward
and backward through topics in the order of the Table of Contents
(TOC).
 Sometimes you will see the word, Note, in the topic text. This indicates
important information.
 Certain aspects of the online help are unique to applications that run on
the oscilloscope.
Note: Green-underlined text indicates a jump (hyperlink) to another topic. Select
the green text to jump to the related topic. For example, select the green text to
jump to the topic on Online Help and Related Documentation and the Back
button to return to this topic page.
You can tell when the cursor is over an active hyperlink (button, jump, or
popup), because the cursor arrow changes to a small hand.
Note: The light bulb and the word Tip in the graphic . This graphic
indicates additional information to help you function faster or more efficiently.

Introduction
Printing from the Online Help
Some online help topics have color in the examples of the displayed application.
If you want to print this type of topic on a monochrome printer, some
information may not print because of certain colors. Instead, you should print the
topic from the PDF (portable document format) file that corresponds to the
Online Help. You can find the file in the Documents directory on the Optional
Applications Software on Windows-Based Oscilloscopes DVD. The figures of
application menus in the PDF file are gray scale and all of the information prints.
Conventions
Online help uses the following conventions:
 Refers to the software part of the TDSUSB2 Universal Serial Bus
Measurements Package as the TDSUSB2 application or as the application
 When steps require a sequence of selections using the application interface,
the ">" delimiter marks each transition between a menu and an option. For
example, one of the steps to recall a setup file would appear as File> Recall
 Unit under test (UUT) refers to the USB2.0 device under test, hub under
test, host under test, and port under test
 SOF refers to the Start of Frames exchanged between the host controller and
the device when the device is connected to the host and enumerated by the
test mode software
