AWG410, AWG420 & AWG430 Service Manual

Preface

This is the service manual for the AWG400-Series. The manual contains information needed to service the waveform generator to the module level.

Manual Structure

This manual is divided into sections, such as Specifications and Theory of

Operation. Further, some sections are divided into subsections, such as Product

Description and Removal and Installation Procedures.

Sections containing procedures also contain introductions to those procedures. Be sure to read these introductions because they provide information needed to do the service correctly and efficiently. The following contains a brief description of each manual section.

Specifications contains a description of the waveform generator and the characteristics that apply to it.

Operating Information includes general information and operating instructions.

Theory of Operation contains circuit descriptions that support service to the module level.

Performance Verification contains procedures for confirming that the waveform generator functions properly and meets warranted limits.

Adjustment Procedures contains information that you need to manually adjust the waveform generator so that it meets specifications.

Maintenance contains information and procedures for performing preventive and corrective maintenance of the waveform generator. These instructions include cleaning, module removal and installation, and fault isolation to the module.

Options contains information on servicing factory-installed options.

Replaceable Electrical Parts contains a statement referring you to Replaceable Mechanical Parts, where both electrical and mechanical modules are listed.

Diagrams contains block diagrams and an interconnection diagram.

Replaceable Mechanical Parts includes a table of all replaceable modules, their descriptions, and their Tektronix part numbers.

Preface

Manual Conventions

This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with.

Some sections of the manual contain procedures for you to perform. To keep those instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:

Names of front panel controls and menus appear in the same case (initial capitals, all uppercase, and so on) in the manual as is used on the waveform generator front panel and menus. Front-panel names are all upper case letters (for example, SETUP, UTILITY, HARDCOPY, and so on).

Instruction steps are numbered unless there is only one step.

Modules Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of the waveform generator is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an assembly (like a circuit board), rather than a component (like a resistor or an integrated circuit). Sometimes a single component is a module; for example, the chassis of the waveform generator is a module.

Safety Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary near the beginning of this manual.

Finding Other Information

Other documentation for the AWG400-Series includes:

The AWG400-Series user manual contains a tutorial to quickly describe how to operate the waveform generator. It also includes an in-depth discussion on how to more completely use the waveform generator features.

The AWG400-Series programmer manual explains how to use a GPIB interface to remotely control the waveform generator.

AWG410, AWG420 & AWG430 Service Manual

Introduction

This manual contains information that is needed to properly service the AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators, as well as general information that is critical to safe and effective servicing.

To prevent personal injury or damage to the waveform generator, consider the following before attempting service:

The procedures in this manual should be performed only by a qualified service person.

Read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary, beginning on page xi.

Read Preparation for Use in Operating Information.

When using this manual for servicing, be sure to follow all warnings, cautions, and notes.

Performance Verification Procedures

The performance check described in the Performance Verification section should be done every 12 months. In addition, a performance check is recommended after module replacement.

If the waveform generator does not meet performance criteria, repair is necessary.

Strategy for Servicing

Throughout this manual, the term, module, refers to any field-replaceable component, assembly, or part of the waveform generator.

This manual contains all the information needed for periodic maintenance of the waveform generator. Further, it contains all information for corrective maintenance down to the module level. To isolate a failure to a module, use the troubleshooting procedures found in the Maintenance section. To remove and replace any failed module, follow the instructions in the Removal and Installation Procedures subsection. After isolating a faulty module, replace it with a fully-tested module obtained from the factory. The Replaceable Mechanical Parts section contains part number and ordering information for all replaceable modules.

Product Overview

Product Description

The AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator is a programmable Arbitrary Waveform Generator which has a maximum 200 MS/s, 4 M word per channel waveform memory and 16-bits DAC. Amplitude is programmable up to 2.0 V (Complementary output) or {5 V (Single-Ended output) optional} peak-to-peak into 50 W with independent offset control.

The exterior of the AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator is similar to the AWG500/AWG600-series product, except that the parameters and operating menus are displayed on an LCD color monitor instead of a monotone CRT (cathode ray tube).

The instrument can be manually controlled from the front panel and remotely programmed via a GPIB (General Purpose Interface Bus) or Network.

The AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator GPIB is compatible with other devices that meet IEEE standard 488.2.

The AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator allows you to create sine, triangle, square, ramp, and complex waves, as well as direct current and noise signals. It allows you to set waveform attributes, such as frequency, amplitude, and offset.

This instrument contains a hard disk drive, a 3.5-inch floppy disk drive, and an Ethernet interface for storing and recalling waveform data and instrument settings.

Main Features The AWG400-Series Arbitrary Waveform Generator contains the following main features:

200 MS/s sampling rate

16-bit DA converter

4 M-word waveform memory

Two arbitrary marker outputs per channel

Five waveform editors (see Table 1±1)

nContinuous

Waveform is continuously output in this mode. When a sequence is

defined, waveforms are sequentially or repeatedly output in the

 

 

order defined by the sequence. The extended sequence functions

 

 

such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are neglected in this

 

 

mode.

 

 

 

 

nTriggered

Waveform is output only once when a trigger event is created. A

trigger signal is created by the external trigger input signal, GPIB

nGated

The waveform is output in the same way as in the continuous mode

only when the gate is opened. The gate is opened by the gated

 

 

signal.

 

 

Note that the output is made from the top of the first waveform for

 

 

every gate period. The clock signal continuously outputs from the

 

 

connector outside the gate period.

 

 

 

 

nEnhanced

The waveforms are sequentially or repeatedly output according to

the procedures defined in the sequence. All extended functions

 

 

such as trigger input, event jump, and so on are effective and

 

 

waveforms are controlled for output by this functions in this mode.
