SAFETY CONSIDERATIONS
GENERAL - This is a Safety Class I instrument ( provided with
terminal for protective earthing).
OPERATION - BEFORE APPLYING POWER verify that the
power transformer primary is matched to the available line
voltage, the correct fuse is installed, and Safety Precautions
are taken (see the following warnings). In addition, note the instrument’s external markings which are described under
"Safety Symbols."
•Ser vicing instructions are for use by service-trained personnel. To avoid dangerous electric shock, do not perform
any servicing unless qua lified to do so.
•BEFORE SWITCHING ON THE INSTRUMENT, the protective earth terminal of the instrument must be connected to
the protective conductor of the (mains) powercord. The
mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided with a protective earth contact. The protective action
must not be negated by the use of an e x tension cord
(power cable) without a protective conductor (grounding).
Gr ou nding one conductor of a two-con duc tor outlet is not
sufficie nt protec tion.
•If this instrument is to be e nergized vi a an auto-transformer (for v oltage reduction) make sure the common terminal is connected to the earth terminal of the power
source.
•Any interruption of the protective (grounding) conductor
(ins i de or outside th e instrument) or disconnecting the protective earth terminal will cause a potential shock hazard
that could result in personal injury.
•W henever it is lik ely that the protection has been impaired, the instrument must be made inoperative and be
sec ur ed against any unintended operation.
•Only fuses with the required rated current, voltage, and
specified type (normal blow, time delay, etc.) should be
used. Do not us e repaired fuses or shor t circuited fus eholders. To do so could cause a shock or fire hazard.
•Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or fumes. Operation of any electrical instrument in such an environment constitutes a definite safe ty
hazard.
•Do not in stall substitute parts or perfor m any unauthorized
modification to the instrument.
•A djustments described in the manual are performed with
power supplied to the instrument while protective covers
are r e move d. E ne rgy available at many points may, if contacted, result in personal injury.
•A ny adjustment, maintenance, and repair of the opened instrument under voltage should be avoided as much as
possible, and when inevitable, should be carried out only
by a skilled person who is aware of the hazard involved.
•Capacitors inside the instrument may still be charged
even if the ins trument has been disconnected from its
source of supply.

If you add or delete a card(s) from a calibrated
multicard oscilloscope module, you must perform
the T ime Null calibration.
4-4. M aintaining System Integrity
Calibration factors depend on the mainframe,
module, and module configuration all staying
together. If oscilloscope modules are
interchanged between ma inf ra me s , or the
oscilloscope module slot configuration is changed,
calibration must be repea te d. In a n environment in
which the possibility of sharing oscilloscope
modu les exists, H ewlett- Packard recommends
taking the following precautions in order to
maintain s yste m inte grity:
Specific warnings, cautions, a nd instructions are
placed wherever applicable throughout the
manual. These must be observe d during all
pha ses of opera tion, s ervi ce, and repa i r of the
module. Failure to comply with them violates
safety standards of design, manufa cture, a n d
intended use of this module. He wl e tt-Packard
assumes no liability for the failure of the customer
to comply with these sa fe ty requireme nts .
4-3. Calibration Interval
To mainta in proper calibration, perform calibration
at approximately six-month interv a l s, or every 1000
hours, when the in s trume nt is be i ng used under
normal operating conditions. Immediate
calibration is required if one of the following
occurs:
•Oscilloscope module is installed, repaired, or
replaced, or if the card slot configuration is
changed.
With the s yste m turne d off, place the
PROT ECT /UN P ROTE C T switch (all switches in a
single or a chained, multiple oscilloscope module
configuration) in the UNPROT ECT position.
Boot th e sys tem an d pe rform cal i br a t i on f or each
module.
Turn off the s ys te m, pla ce the
PROT ECT /UN P ROTE C T switch (all switches in a
single or a chained, multiple oscilloscope module
configuration) in the PROTECT position, then seal
the mainfra me .
4-5. Calibration Protection Switch
Each HP 16532A board stores the calibration
factors for that board in non-volatile RAM on the
board itself. The HP 16532A board contains a
calibration protection (PROT E CT/UNPR OTEC T)
switch. W ith the s witch in the PRO TECT position,
calibration values can not be chan ged.
4-1
HP 16532A - Calibration
To run the s cope calibration, the switch must be i n
the UNPROTECT position. When you have more
than one HP 16532A board in a mainframe, this
mus t be done for each one of the boards. After
calibration is complete, all the switches must be
set to the P ROTECT position to save the
calibration values. A ls o, all the modules or filler
panels must be re ins talled in the mainframe, the n a
seal should be placed on the equipment such that
the seal touches both the top-most module and
the mainfra me . This is done to assure tha t
calibration integrity is maintai ne d.
4-6. Recomme nded Test Equipment
Th e only tes t equipment required for calibration
are cables and adapters. These are listed in
paragraph 4-10 and are called out in the applicable
calibration p r ocedur e.
4-7. Instrument Warmup
Calibrate the oscilloscope module at its
environmental a mbient temper ature , af te r a
30- minute w a rmup period of the
HP 16500A/16501A mainframe with the module
installed.
4-8. Calibration
This s ection provides software calibration
procedures for the HP 16532A oscilloscope
module. There a re no hardware adjustments on
the oscilloscope module. The calibration is
performed without access to the inte rior of the
instrument.
Wh e n ordered with a system, oscilloscope
modules are calibrated at Hewlett-Packard as
single units (not chained together). If you ne e d to
use the modules as one unit (chaine d together),
perform the Time Null C a l ibration in section 4-1 2 .
The calibration procedure sets the oscilloscope
calibration factors and stores them in non-volatile
RA M on the board. The procedures use signals
generated in the oscilloscope module itself to
calibrate cha nn el sensitivity, offse t, and trigger
parameters. The calibration factors set up the
module each time the instrument is turned on.
Th e cal ibration procedures in this section should
be followed in their entirety an d in the se quence
listed in table 4-1. Though in this section the
default ca li brations are loaded before cal i bration,
calibration can be done without loading them.
However, if they are loaded, they should be loaded
before an actual calibration is done.
Wh e n calibrating the module, it must be instal le d in
the mainframe, and the mainframe covers and filler
pan els m u st be in place. The modu l e mus t be
warmed up (refe r to " I ns trume nt Warmup" give n
earlie r in this s e ction).
Calibration procedures require the use of cables
and adapte rs only. N on-s ervice personne l can
perform the cali br ation, however, t o do t h e
calibration, it is necessary to unprotect the current
calibration values. T his may not be allowed in
some circumstances − check with your
Cal ibra tion La borat ory or Se rv ice D e pa rtme nt
before you attempt calibration. To perform
calibration, follow the "Se lf C al Menu Calibration"
procedures give n l a te r in this s e ction.

through direct mail order. Th e advantages a re as
follows:
•Direct ordering and shipment from
Hewlett-Packard Parts C enter in Mountain
Vi e w, California.
•No maximum or minimum on any mail order
(there is a minimum order for parts ordered
through local Hew le tt-Packard offices whe n
orders require billing and invoicing).
•Prepaid transportation (there is a small
handling charge for each order).

Table 1-3 lists recommended test equipment. Any
equipment that sa tisf ie s the critical specification
given in the table may be su bstitute d for the
recommended models.
6-5. Attenuator Theory of Operation
Th e chan n e l signals are conditioned by the
attenuator/preamps, thick film hybrids containing
passive attenuators, impedance converters, and a
programmable amplifier. The channe l s ensitivity
defaults to the s ta ndard 1- 2-4 se quence (other
sens itiv itie s can be set also). Howev e r, the
firmware us e s pa s s iv e attenuation of 1, 5 , 2 5, and
125, with the programmable pre amp, to cover the
entire s ensitivity ran ge.
The input has a selectable 1 MΩ input impedance
with ac or dc coupling or a 50Ω input impedance
with dc coupling. Compensa tion for the pas s iv e
atten uators is las er trimmed and is not adjustable.
Afte r the pa s sive atten u a tors, the signal is split into
high-frequency and low-frequency components.
Low frequency components are amplified on the
main assembly, where they are combined with the
offset voltage. T he a c coupling is implemented in
the low frequency amplifier.
The high- and low-frequency components of the
signal are recombined and applied to the input
FET of the preamp. The F ET provides a high input
impedance for the preamp. The programmable
preamp adjusts the gain to suit the required
sens itivity and provides the output signal to the
main assembly. The output signal is then sent to
both the trigger circuitry and ADC .
6-4. M o dule Block Diagram and Theory of Operation
The following paragraphs contain block level
theory of operation. This theory is not intended for
component level troubleshooting, rather it is to be
used to help isolate a module failure to card level.
The HP 16532A Oscilloscope Module is contained
on one board. It runs at a 1 GSa/s digitizing rate,
with a 250 MHz single-shot (real-time) bandwidth,
8000 samples per measurement per channel, with
2-channe l s imulta ne ous a cquisition which is
expandable to up to 8 channels. See figure 6-1.
6-6. Main Assembly Theory of
Operation
Acquisition
Th e acquisition circuitry provides the sam pling,
digitizing, and storing of the signals f rom the
channel attenuators. The channels are identical.
Th e e xterna l trigger (E C L ) in put cannot be
displayed. Trigger signals from each channel and
the external triggers s ynchronize a cquisition
through the time base circuitry. A 100 MHz
oscillator and a time base provide system timing
and sample clocking. A voltage-controlled
oscillator (VCO), frequency divider, and digital

sample rates . After conditioning and sampling, the

containing a FI SO (fast in, slow out) memory.
ADC. The eight-bit ADC digitize s the cha nn e l
signal. D i gitiza tion is done by comparators in a
flash converter. The sample clock latches the
digitized value of the i nput to save it so that it can
be sent to memory.
6-2
FISO Memory. 8000 samples of the FISO (fast in,
slow out) memory a re used per me asurem e nt pe r
channel. M emory positions are not addressed
directly. The configuration is a ring which loops
continuously as it is clocked. Memory position is
tracked by counting clocks. The clocking rate is
the same as the AD C, however the clock
frequency is half tha t of the ADC since the FISO
clocks on both transitions of the clock period.
Data is buffered onto the CPU data bus for
processing.
HP 16532A - Service
Triggering. There a re two main trigger circuits
that trigger four trigger sources. The two trigger
circuits are the an a l og trigger and the logic trigger.
Th e analog trigger IC opera te s as a multichann e l
Schmidt trigger/comparator. A trigger signal (a
copy of t h e an alog i n pu t sign al) f r om each of the
inputs is directed to the ana log trigger IC inputs.
Th e trigger signal is continuously compared with
the trigger refere nce le vel sele cted by the use r.
Once the trigger condition is met, the trigger T RUE
signal is fed to the logic trigger, which begins the
acquisition and store functions by way of the time
base.
Th e f our trigger sources are Cha nn e l 1, Chan nel 2,
Intermodule Bus (IMB), and external BNC. The
operation of the input channels was discussed
previously. The IMB trigger signal is s ent directly
to the logic trigger. Externa l triggering is provided
by the BNC input of the 16500A Logic Analysis
System mainf ra me .
Time Base. T he time base provides the sample
clocks and timing necessary for data a cquisition.
It consists of the 100 MHz reference oscillator and
time base hybrid.
The 100 MHz reference oscillator provides the
base sample frequency.
Th e time ba s e hybrid has programmable dividers
to provide the rest of the sample frequencies
appropriate for the time range se l e cted. The time
base us es the time-s tretched output of the fine
interpolator to time-reference the sampling to the
trigger point. The time ba s e has counters to
control how much data is taken before (pre-trigger
data) and af te r (post-trigger data) the trigger eve nt.
Afte r the de s ire d number of pre-trigger samples
has occurred, the Time bas e hybrid sends a si gnal
to the Logic Trigger (trigger arm) in dicating it is
ready for the trigger event. When the trigger
condition is satis fi e d, the Logic Trigger sen ds a
signal back to the time base hybrid. Th e time base
hybrid then starts the post-trigger delay counter.
Wh e n the countdown reaches ze ro, the s ample
clocks are stopped and the CPU is signaled that
the acquisition is complete. The Fine Inte rpolator
is a dual- s l ope integrator that acts as a
time-interval stretcher. When the l ogic trigger
receives a signal tha t mee ts the programmed
triggering requirements, it signals the time ba s e .
Th e time base then s ends a pulse to the fine
interpolator. The pulse is equal in width to the time
between the trigger an d the ne xt sample clock.
Th e f i ne interpolator stretches this time by a f actor
of approximately 500. Meanwhile, the time ba s e
hybrid runs a counter with a clock derived from the
sample rate oscillator. Whe n the inte rpolator
indicates the stretch is complete, the counter is
stopped. Th e count repre sents, with much highe r
accuracy, the time between the trigger an d the firs t
sample clock. The count is stored a n d used to
place the recently a cquired data in rel a tionshi p
with previous data .
AC Cal. Th e AC Ca l is a multiplexer circuit that
can provide several signals to the Probe
Compensation/AC Calibrator output on the rear
pan el. The s ignal pr ov ided depends on th e mode
of the instrument. I t can be either a probe
compensation si gnal, a pulse representing the
trigger event, s i gnals used for self- cal ibration, or
the 100 MHz reference oscillator when sample
period is 1 ns.
DC Cal. The DC Cal output, a rear panel signal, is
used for self-calibration. It is one output from the
16-channel DAC.
Digital Interface. The Digital Interface provides
control and interfa ce be twe en the system control
and digital functions in the acquisition circuitry.
Analog Interface. T he Analog Interface provides
control of analog functions in the acquisition
circuitry. It is primarily a 1 6-channel DAC with an
accurate reference and filters on the outputs. It
controls channel offs ets and trigger levels , and
provides the DC Cal output.

Self-Test Descriptions
The following self-tests check the major components of the HP 16532A oscilloscope module as well as a ll
ass ociate d circuitry. W h e n the self- te s ts h ave all be en completed with a "PASS" status, the major data and
control pipelines in the HP 16532A oscilloscope module are functioning properly.
Data Memory Test
Th is test verifi e s the correct operation of the F I SO (fas t- in/s l ow-out) data m e m ory on each board. T est
patterns are writte n into the memory and then re ad and compared with known values .
Timebase Test
Th e pre- trigger an d post-trigger delay modes are f irs t te s te d by programming a predetermined time
interva l in the trigger counters. A t the e n d of the time inte rv als, the arm, trigger, a n d run sta tus bits are
read and compared with known values . The coarse a n d fine inte rpolators are the n checked by reading
the val ue s of the interpolator counters after a simulated acquisition. The counter val ue s are then compared with a known valu e . Finally, the sample clock is checked by programming a sample clock
frequency and then reading the status of the clock to detect when one clock period has elapsed. The
clock period time interval is the n compared with a known val ue .
A/D Test
This test verifies the correct operation of the A/D convertor on each board. A check of the trigger in
