I got a dead Wavepro 7200A which I brought back to life (I will post the repair on the other thread). It still has the stock Intel board, hard drive, 2.8GHz Pentium, and 512MB DDR2
The scope has XSTREAM 7.2 and it only came with option -M (medium memory: 8MB 2Ch and 4MB/ch) such option does not even exist in the 7200A datasheet!
I simply upgraded to option -XL (48MB 2CH, 24MB/ch) and it seems to be working and I can set the memory up to that amount and there is no complain from the scope. I didnt dare to use -XXL option, maybe I should?
However, my question is, the -M option key is still there. Should I remove it? I assume it is overridden by the -XL option anyways, right?
I also enabled other useful options like SPECTRUM ANALYZER, DMOD, DFP2, PMA2, I2C, UART, SPI, XMAP, and DEV.
With the DEV option, the service section is always open right in there!!? no need for password
My second question is: has anybody tried VSA (Vector Spectrum analyzer) and POWER_ANA (New power analysis package)? Do they work on 7200A?
I tried the TDR option and it enabled some stuff in the Math menu but it didnt work, it didnt complain but scope kept "Processing..." and eventually hanged. I removed that key but the menus that it created are still in there!! what gives?
EDIT: by the way I didnt even bother to find the options.cfg from my scope. I simply used the cfg file that was posted by Mechatrommer a few post above.
