Service Safety Summary
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Read this Service
Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary before performing any service
procedures.
Do Not Service Alone
Disconnect Power
Use Caution When
Servicing the CRT
Use Care When Servicing
With Power On
Do not perform internal service or adjustments of this product unless another
person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
To avoid electric shock, disconnect the main power by means of the power cord
or, if provided, the power switch.
To avoid electric shock or injury, use extreme caution when handling the CRT.
Only qualified personnel familiar with CRT servicing procedures and precautions
should remove or install the CRT.
CRTs retain hazardous voltages for long periods of time after power is turned off.
Before attempting any servicing, discharge the CRT by shorting the anode to
chassis ground. When discharging the CRT, connect the discharge path to ground
and then the anode. Rough handling may cause the CRT to implode. Do not nick
or scratch the glass or subject it to undue pressure when removing or installing it.
When handling the CRT, wear safety goggles and heavy gloves for protection.
Dangerous voltages or currents may exist in this product. Disconnect power,
remove battery (if applicable), and disconnect test leads before removing
protective panels, soldering, or replacing components.
To avoid electric shock, do not touch exposed connections.
X-Radiation
To avoid x-radiation exposure, do not modify or otherwise alter the high-voltage
circuitry or the CRT enclosure. X-ray emissions generated within this product
have been sufficiently shielded.

DAS 9200 Series & TLA 500 Series Certification Procedures
Preface
This document describes the procedures required to certify the DAS 9200 Series
and TLA 500 Series logic analyzers and their associated modules.
This document is intended for Tektronix service personnel only. It assumes that
the reader is a trained technician, familiar with DAS 9200 Series and
TLA 500 Series logic analyzers.

DAS 9200 Series & TLA 500 Series Certification Procedures
Introduction
The purpose of these certification procedures is to enable the Tektronix Field
Service organization to satisfy customer requests for traceable certification of the
DAS 9200 and TLA 500 systems. (Often, the customer requires equipment
certification to achieve or maintain ISO compliance.)
NOTE. These procedures are not intended for customer availability.
These procedures provide Tektronix Field Service Technicians with a standardized and documented procedure for traceable certification of DAS 9200 and
TLA 500 Systems to national standards. After performing this procedure, the
technician can generate and provide the customer with a Certificate of Traceable
Calibration and, if required, a Certification Test Record. The technician can then
apply appropriate calibration stickers to the mainframe and modules which make
up the system. This provides the customer with documentation and confidence in
the measurement accuracy of their system.
This procedure does not verify the system to published specifications. It should
generally be used in conjunction with the DAS 9200/TLA 500 FunctionalVerification Procedure. These Certification Procedures certify the accuracy of the
primary references or adjustments; the Functional Verification Procedure verifies
the functionality of the mainframe, module, and probes. Although not required
for traceable certification, if full verification of published specifications is
specially requested by the customer, refer to the Performance VerificationProcedures in the appropriate DAS 9200/TLA 500 Service Manuals.
This procedure is intended for use by Tektronix Field Service Technicians who
have completed DAS9200 Service Training. Others with less training may need
access to other reference documents, such as mainframe and module user
manuals, for detailed information. (Refer to page xi for a partial list of related
documents.)
Please check the Required Test Equipment table on page 6 to ensure you have
the proper traceable test equipment, fixtures, tools, and materials, before
beginning the procedures.
CAUTION. Check with the customer before disconnecting probes or cables from
the system under test. It is desirable to use the customer’s probes and cables
when called for, but in some cases this may not be possible.

Introduction
Products Certified
Table 1 lists the modules which can be certified, and the order in which they
must be tested. Table 2 lists the modules which have no certifiable references.
These procedures support Tektronix-recommended product configurations only.
The recommended recertification interval for DAS 9200 and TLA 500 products
is one year.

General Information and Conventions
The following general information and conventions apply throughout this
section:
HEach test procedure begins with a table, similar to the one below, that
provides information you need to know before starting the test.
Introduction
Equipment
Required
ConfigurationMainframe, configured as follows:
PrerequisitesWarm-up time: 20 minutes, DAS and test equipment
The item numbers after each piece of equipment refer to line numbers in
Table 3, Required Test Equipment, which begins on page 6.
HThe Test Record starts with header information that must always be filled out
completely. The Certificate Number is the number of the actual Certificate ofTraceable Calibration that you’ll complete.
HAlways fill out the Incoming Data entry on the Test Record. The Outgoing
Data entry is required only if you perform a repair or adjustment to the
module such that the certification tests must be performed again.
Universal Counter/Timer with Probe (item 1)
Dual Lead Adapter (item 7)
Gold Square Pin (item 9)
Top cover removed
Memory board removed; other boards may be installed
Power-up diagnostics pass.
No previous tests required.
Equipment Required
These procedures require the use of traceable signal sources and measurement
instruments to ensure accuracy. Table 3 lists the equipment required for the
procedures.
You can obtain an accuracy ratio of 4:1 or better by using the recommended
equipment listed in the Examples column of Table 3. If your test equipment does
not meet the minimum requirements listed in the table, your test results may be
invalid.

The P6125 probe is a 5X probe. If you use a 10X probe, you must adjust threshold voltages accordingly.
3
For procedures requiring delta time measurements, you must compensate for oscilloscope channel-to-channel skew.
4
The handheld DMMs (DMM 252 and DMM 254) provide a 3:1 test accuracy ratio at 1.6 V (4 V full-scale range).
5
Modify the DIP clip by soldering a second pin in parallel with pin 18.
Procedure 6
Test Conditions
The certification procedures must be performed in an environment that is within
the instrument’s normal electrical and environmental operating parameters,
following a minimum 20-minute warm-up period.
These procedures support Tektronix-recommended product configurations only.
