Save data from Tektronix 371a curve tracer

Post by GeorgHM »

Dear HxC2001 Forum,

unfortunately I am currently unable to save any data to the SD card and would therefore be very grateful for help.

Setup:
I am using a Tektronix 371a curve tracer with HxC floppy emulator. On the (4GB) SDHC card I have saved the data that I have downloaded from the 371A column. (https://hxc2001.com/download/floppy_dri ... upport.htm) I use the -normal.cfg file. The SD card is freshly formatted and I have installed the latest firmware on the emulator. It worked without any problems.

Problem:
I insert the SD card and select a file: e.g. DSKA0000.HFE.
I now see ‘T000/080 S:0’ in the second column of the screen and the LED flashes every second. If I now press the SAVE button on my Curve Tracer, the LED on the HxC lights up for approx. 8 seconds and ‘RA’ appears in the second column. However, the Curve Tracer then displays: ‘FD wirte Error’. Do you know where the problem could lie? Or how I could fix it?

Many thanks and best regards,
Georg

Support done by email :
The interface configuration need to be set to "S950 DD" on the emulator : Remove the sdcard and press select to access the emulator configuration menu.
