Operating Instructions-7313fR7313 Operators
PLUG-IN UNITS
The 7313lR7313 is designed to accept up to three
Tektronix 7-series plug-in units. This plug-in feature
allows a variety of display combinations and also allows
selection of polarity, sensitivity, display mode, etc. to meet
the measurement requirements. In addition, it allows the
oscilloscope system to be expaned to meet future
measurement requirements. The overall capabilities of the
resultant system are in large part determined by the
characteristics of the plug-in selected. Refer to the
Tektronix Products catalog for specifications of plug-in
units currently available.
To install a plug-in unit into one of the plug-in
compartments, align the slots in the top and bottom of the
plug-in with the associated guide rails in the plug-in
compartment. Push the plug-in unit firmly into the plug-in
compartment until it locks into place. To removea plug-in,
pull the release latch on the plug-in unit to disengage it
and pull the unit out of the plug-in compartment. Plug-in
units can be removed or installed without turning off the
instrument power.
All of the plug-in compartments do not have to be filled
to operate the instrument; the only plug-ins needed are
those required for the measurement to be made. At
environmental extremes, excess interference may be
radiated into or out of the instrument through the plug-in
compartments. To reduce such interference, or to meet
EM1 specifications on factory equipped Option 3 or field
EM1 modified instruments, all unused plug-in com-
partments must be covered with an EM1 shielded blank
plug-in panel. Order or use only Tektronix Part No. 016-
0155-00. One is required for each unused compartment.
When the 7313/R7313 is calibrated in accordance with
the calibration procedure given in the service manual, the
vertical and horizontal gains are normalized. This allows
calibrated plug-in units to be changed from one plug-in
compartment to another without recalibration. However,
the basic calibration of the individual plug-in units should
be checked when they are installed in this system to verify
their measurement accuracy. See the operating instruc-
tions section of the plug-in unit instruction manual for
verification procedure.
The plug-in versatility of the
7313/R7313 allows a
variety of display modes with many different plug-in units.
The following information is provided to aid in plug-in unit
selection.
To produce a single-trace display, install a single-
channel vertical unit (or dual-channel unit set for single-
channel operation) in either of the vertical compartments;
for dual-trace displays, either install a dual-channel
vertical unit in one of the vertical compartments or install a
single-channel vertical unit in each vertical compartment.
A combination of a single-channel and dual-channel
vertical unit allows a three-trace display; likewise, a
combination of two dual-channel vertical units allows a
four-trace display.
Non-delayed single-trace displays can be obtained
with a single-trace time-base unit.
A
dual-trace time-base
unit must be used for delayed-sweep displays.
X-Y displays can be obtained in two ways with the
7313/R7313 system. If a 7B-series time-base unit is
available that has an amplifier feature, the
X
signal can
either be routed through one of the vertical units via the
internal-trigger pickoff circuitry to the horizontal system,
or connected to the external horizontal input connector of
the time-base unit. Then, the vertical signal
(Y)
is con-
nected to the remaining vertical unit. Also, a 7A-series
amplifier plug-in can be installed in one of the horizontal
compartments for X-Y operation.
Special purpose plug-ins may have specific restrictions
regarding the plug-in compartments in which they can be
installed. This information will be given in the instruction
manuals for these plug-ins. Refer to the Tektronix
Products catalog for additional information on plug-in
unit selection.
NOTE
Later production of rackmount ocilloscopes are
provided with support posts between the individual
plug-in compartments.
A
post or posts must be
removed if a multi-width plug-in is to
be
installed. To
remove a post, unfasten the screws that secure it at
the top and bottom of the plug-in housing.
CONTROLS AND CONNECTORS
EXTERNAL
The major controls and connectors for operation of the
7313/R7313 are located on the front panel of the instru-
ment and several auxiliary functions are provided on the
rear panel. Fig. 1-2 provides a brief description of the
front-panel controls and connectorsand Fig. 1-3 provides
a brief description of the rear-panel controls and connec-
tors. More detailed information is given under General
Operating Information.
