Using the TDS2MEM Storage Memory and

Communications Module

The TDS2MEM Storage Memory and Communications module adds

removable Type 1 CompactFlash (CF) card storage memory, RS-232

remote programming capability, and RS-232 and Centronics printer

output connectivity to your TDS1000- or TDS2000-Series

oscilloscope.

NOTE. This module is not compatible with TDS200-Series

oscilloscopes.

Installing the Module

See the TDS200-, TDS1000- and TDS2000-Series Extension Module

Installation sheet for module installation instructions. The following

illustration identifies the TDS2MEM module output ports.

Installing and Removing the CompactFlash Card

Insert a Type 1 CompactFlash card into the slot until the card is flush

with the module case, as shown below. The CF card is keyed to be

inserted only one way. If the CF card does not easily slide into place,

remove and correctly reinsert it.

To remove the CompactFlash card, push and release the eject button

until the button fully extends, then push the eject button again to

release the CF card from the slot. Pull the CF card out of the

module slot.

CompactFlash Card Initial Read Time

The TDS2MEM reads a CF card's internal structure every time you

insert a CF card. The time to complete the read depends on the size of

the CF card and how it was formatted. To significantly shorten the

initial read time of 64 MB and larger CF cards used in the TDS2MEM

module, format the CF card using the TDS2MEM format function

(UTILITY

 File Utilities  Format).

Formatting a CompactFlash Card

1. Insert a CF card into the module.

2. Push the UTILITY front panel button.

3. Select the File Utilities menu option.

4. Select the More menu option to display menu page 2.

5. Select the Format menu option.

6. Select the Yes menu option to format the CF card. Formatting

deletes all data on the CF card.

CompactFlash Card Capacities

The following are the approximate number of files, by type, that you

can store per 1 MB of CF card memory.

 5 Save All operations (see Saving Information Using the PRINT

Button on page 5)

 16 screen image files (actual capacity depends on the selected

image format) (see Saving a Screen Image to a File on page 7)

4 TDS2MEM User Manual

 250 oscilloscope setting (.set) files (see Saving Oscilloscope

Settings on page 8)

 18 waveform (.csv) files (see Saving Waveform Files on page 9)

File Management Conventions

 The oscilloscope checks for available space on the CompactFlash

card before writing files, and displays a warning message if there

is not enough memory for the files you are writing.

 The term folder as used in this manual refers to a directory location

on the CF card.

 The default file save or recall location is the current folder.

 The root folder is A:\.

 The oscilloscope resets the current folder to A:\ when powering on

the instrument, or when inserting a CF card after the oscilloscope

is powered on.

 File names can have one to eight characters, followed by a period,

followed with an extension of one to three characters.

 Long file names created on PC operating systems are displayed

using the operating system's shortened file name.

 File names are upper case.

Key Points

Saves All To Files. Setting the Print Button to Saves All To Files is a

fast and easy way to save all of the current oscilloscope information

to files with a single button push. Pushing the PRINT button creates a

new folder and saves the following information in separate files in that

new folder, using the current instrument and file format settings, as

listed in the following table:

.CSV Files. CSV (comma-separated value) files contain ASCII text

string that lists the time (relative to the trigger) and voltage values for

each of the 2500 waveform data points. You can import .csv files into

many spreadsheet and math analysis applications.

Screen Image Files. You can import screen image files into many

spreadsheet and word processing applications. The type of image file

you can import depends on you application.

.SET files. SET files contain an ASCII text string listing of the

oscilloscope settings.
