Configure the instrument
About this task
Note: You can only install a Node Locked option license one time. If you need to reinstall an uninstalled Node Locked license,
contact Tektronix Customer Support.
These instructions only support options that are enabled by installing a software license. Some product upgrades, such as the
5/6 Series MSO SSD upgrades (Embedded OS or Microsoft Windows 10) and 5 Series MSO bandwidth upgrades to 2 GHz,
are not supported by this document. These upgrades either have their own installation instructions, or require that you send the
instrument to a Tektronix support center for new hardware and calibration.
