LeCroy has provided a recovery application, along with a backup image, in an extra
partition on the instrument's hard drive. The recovery process is easy to perform,
using the following instructions.
After the recovery procedure is done, you must activate Windows, either by
internet connection to Microsoft's Web site or by telephone. For this, you need to
provide the Windows Product Key number, which is affixed to the bottom of the
oscilloscope.
Note: The recovery process produces a replica of the operating system and
oscilloscope application software at the revision levels that were current when the
oscilloscope was manufactured. Any later revisions of the application software,
Windows operating system, and virus scan definition files are not automatically
loaded. After completion of the disk image recovery, it is highly recommended
that you search the vendors' Web sites to upgrade the individual components to
their current revision level. The current oscilloscope application software can be
downloaded directly from the LeCroy Web site at www.lecroy.com.
Since the calibration data for the oscilloscope is stored in the D: drive, the current
calibration constants are preserved during the recovery process.
Recovery Procedure
Your oscilloscope is designed to operate reliably for many years. However, the
application software operating the instrument runs on a Windows platform. The
loading or incomplete removal of additional Windows applications may eventually
cause problems in the stability of the operating system. Severe cases may require
a reloading of the base operating system and oscilloscope application. This is done
using a recovery routine that restores a clean copy of the image originally installed
on the C: drive.
Note: Any user and calibration data located on the D: partition is not affected by
the recovery process.
LeCroy provides you with a recovery application and a backup image in an extra
partition on the instrument's hard drive. The recovery process is easy to perform,
using the Recovery Wizard. After the recovery procedure is done, you must
activate Windows, either by Internet connection to Microsoft's Web site or by
telephone. Have your Windows Product Key number (located on the rear of the
oscilloscope) handy during Widows reactivation.
