Yes, and no... You know what the values should be, and you know relatively where they exist in the calibration file, but you have no idea how, or where, they exist in the 2K RAM. Tektronix went out if its way to avoid telling you that little tidbit of information. Looking at your screen pictures, and looking at the data in a hex editor, you can probably figure out where in the 2K byte RAM the constants are, but you also have to figure out where the checksums for the whole file exist. I know there is a routine in the EPROM that lets you write back the calibration data, but it is not available to the unwashed masses. Someone told me about it once many, many, years ago, but I remember nothing about it, only that it exists. Well, that's not quite true, I recall it is a simple button press from within the EXER02 routine. Tektronix would never use such a routine, outside of development, as they would simply recalibrate the scope to restore any errant calibration data. -Chuck Harris James Theonas via groups.io wrote: Hi guys! I opened exerciser 2 on my scope and copied all the data from 00 to ff by looping through all of them as I was recording a video. If I input the said data in my programmer and flash a new chip will it work? Is that all that is needed?
