Tenma 72-10175 USB Oscilloscope: Need Win10 software

Mark_L
Mark_L over 3 years ago

I have a Tenma 72-10175 USB Oscilloscope.  The CD that originally came with this 'scope doesn't work on Windows 10.  The hardware is old but probably still usable if only I could find an up to date driver.  Is there such a thing?

    If that doesn't work, you might try contacting customer service for whatever country you are in.  The 72-10175 is still listed on the Newark site although it is not carried.

    I'm curious ML if the reference resolved your post?

    It raises the question for me of how long can you expect equipment to be supported?

    I did some work on the database software for automobiles. I wonder about all them parts and how long they would be stocked somewhere in the world. At the rate technology changes today what is the expectation for support?

    hello mark

    The USB terminal is connected via a USB cable for DC +5V power from the PC. The product does not require an outside power source.

    Be sure to check the probe attenuation before measuring the voltage. A voltage that is higher than the maximum input voltage can cause damage to the device and the user. There is the risk of an electric shock when measuring high voltage. The user needs to pay extra attention not to have their hand or other exposed skin or conductive material touch the terminal.

    My apologies for taking several days to respond. 

    The issue was Driver Signature Enforcement. 

    I had to disable driver signature enforcement to install the driver in Win10.  When I did the original software installation, I'm pretty sure I got no warning that the driver didn't install. There are multiple ways to force installation of unsigned drivers which one would have to find with a web search.

    After disabling driver signature enforcement, I had to go into Device Manager, find the Tenma device and load a driver from the Tenma installation directory.  You'll get a warning from Windows but you will accept anyway.

    Thank you all for your interest and support.

    Colporteur, I'm surprised that this decade-old USB scope can still function in Windows.  It's a real-time device and I would have thought there would be some kind of differences in drivers that would have kept it from functioning.  I'll be interested to know how many versions of Windows, it can survive.

    This weekend, I got another old otherwise non-functional piece of USB hardware to work disabling driver signature enforcement.
