README.TXT for the Remote Application for Tektronix Waveform Monitors

Supported OS: Win NT, Linux, Mac OS X 10.4+
------------------------------------------------------------------

The "Remote Application for Tektronix Waveform Monitors" enables the user
of Tektronix WFM8000 series Waveform Monitor products to
operate the instrument from a remote workstation.

Issues
------------
The Help About version dialog reports the version as 1.5, but it is really version 1.6.

Requirements
------------
The remote application requires Java Standard Runtime Environment version
1.4.1 or later.  The Java runtime must already be installed on your system
in order to use the remote application. Please visit http://java.com for
the latest Java runtime software and installation instructions.

Differences Between Web Application and Web Applet
--------------------------------------------------
When a remote use interface is started from the web page of a Tektronix
waveform monitor, your web browser downloads a Java applet from the
instrument and runs that applet within your web browser.  To maintain the
security of your computer, that applet is not allowed to perform certain
operations such as writing files to your hard disk.

However, a Java application, that has been installed on your local hard
disk or on your local network, may be trusted by your computer and is not
subject to the same limitations as an applet.  The remote application
supports all of the features of the web applet and adds the capability to
load and save instrument presets and snapshots to your hard disk

Installation
------------
Windows:
1.  Use WinZip or other ZIP file compression utility to extract the
contents of the zip file to a local hard disk.  This will create a new
folder which contains this read me file and the TekWfmApp.app folder.
2.  Copy the entire TekWfmApp.app folder to a location on a local hard disk
or in a network folder.
3.  Open the TekWfmApp.app folder.
4.  Create a shortcut for the run.bat file inside the TekWfmApp.app directory
(right click and select "Create Shortcut")
5.  Rename the shortcut file to "TekWfmApp".
6.  Move the shortcut file to the desktop or copy the shortcut to the start
menu.  The original run.bat file should remain in the TekWfmApp.app
folder.

Linux:
1.  Use a ZIP file compression utility to extract the zip file.  This will
create a new directory which contains this read me file and the
TekWfmApp.app directory.
2.  Copy the file TekWfmApp.app/Contents/Resources/Java/wvr61x.jar to
directory within your home directory or a shared network directory.
3.  Edit the file run.sh and update the path of the JAR file with the path
of the file you just copied.  For example:
jarfile="/usr/local/lib/TekWfmApp/wvr61x.jar"
4.  Move or copy the run.sh file to a bin directory within your home
directory or a shared network directory.  The bin directory should be
included in your PATH.
5.  Rename the run.sh file to "TekWfmApp".
6.  chmod 555 TekWfmApp

Mac OS X:
1.  If your web browser did not automatically extract the TekWfmApp folder
from the ZIP file, open the ZIP file with StuffIt Extractor (double click)
2.  Open the TekWfmApp folder on your desktop or in your download directory.
The folder will contain this file and a TekWfmApp application.
3.  Copy the TekWfmApp application to your Application directory.
