Install Your Instrument

Windows Interface Guidelines

Because the instrument uses the Microsoft Windows interface, you have open access to the Windows operating system.
You can access the Windows desktop to load and run other Windows-based applications such as Microsoft Excel, Word-
Pad, and Paint.
Although you have access to the Windows interface, you should avoid making operating system changes that may cause
problems or annoyances while trying to use the instrument. Here are some guidelines:
Be careful when making changes in the Control Panel. Avoid making changes to any controls with which you are
■
unfamiliar.
■ Do not delete or change any system fonts. Changing or removing fonts may affect the quality of the display.
Avoid changing the system Display Properties, such as the Background, Appearance, Effects, or Settings. Making such
■
changes can affect the usability of the instrument and the touch screen.
Avoid making changes to the contents of the Windows folder or to the contents of the Program Files\Tektronix\AWG\
■
System folder.
Avoid making changes to the BIOS settings. Changing the BIOS settings can affect the overall operation of the
■
instrument.
If you think that your Windows interface may cause problems with the instrument, contact your local Tektronix support
center for assistance.
