Preface

Manual Structure

This is the service manual for the DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer and the modules that install in the instrument (except for the 80A03 module).
NOTE. The 80A03 instruction manual contains its own specifications and servicing information.
Read this preface to learn how this manual is structured, what conventions it uses, and where you can find other information related to servicing this product. Read the Introduction following this preface for safety and other important background information needed before servicing this product.
This manual is divided into chapters, which are made up of related subordinate topics. These topics can be cross referenced as sections.
Be sure to read the introductions to all procedures. These introductions provide important information needed to do the service correctly, safely, and efficiently.

Manual Conventions

Modules
Replaceable Parts
Safety
This manual uses certain conventions that you should become familiar with before attempting service.
Throughout this manual, the term module appears. A module is composed of electrical and mechanical assemblies, circuit cards, interconnecting cables, and a user-accessible front panel. References to a module are different than references to products such as “Sampling modules”, “Phase Reference modules”, or “Accessory modules”, which are products installed in the instrument compart­ments.
This manual refers to any field-replaceable assembly or mechanical part by its name or generically as a replaceable part. In general, a replaceable part is any circuit board or assembly, such as a hard disk drive, or a mechanical part, such as I/O port connectors, that is listed in the replaceable parts list of Chapter 8.
Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the General Safety Summary found at the beginning of this manual.

Check the Environmental Requirements

Site Considerations
Operating Requirements
Rackmount Requirements
Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section describes site considerations, power requirements, and ground connections for your instrument.
The instrument is designed to operate on a bench or on a cart in the normal position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least two inches (5.1 cm) of clearance is recommended on the sides of the instrument.
You can also operate the instrument while it rests on its rear feet. Make sure that you properly route any cables coming out of the rear of the instrument to avoid damaging them.
CAUTION. Keep the bottom of the instrument clear of obstructions to ensure proper cooling.
Specifications in chapter 1 list the operating requirements for the instrument.
Power source and temperature, humidity, and altitude are listed.
Rackmount instructions are provided with the Option 1R rackmount kit. For additional information about rackmounted instruments and site considerations or

Install the Sampling Modules

WARNING. Do not install or remove any sampling modules while the instrument is powered on. Electrical shock may occur. Always power the instrument down before attempting to remove or insert any sampling module to avoid potential injury from shock.
CAUTION. Sampling modules are inherently vulnerable to static damage. Always observe static-safe procedures and cautions as outlined in your sampling module user manual.

Read the sampling-module user manual for instructions on how to install your sampling modules.
NOTE. After first installing a sampling module(s) or after moving a sampling module from one compartment to another, you should run compensation from the Utilities menu to ensure the instrument meets its accuracy specifications. You must run a compensation (accessed from the Utilities menu) whenever the extender configuration is changed from that present at the last compensation. In short, if you install or remove an 80E00 extender, run a compensation. If you exchange an extender for one of a different length, run a compensation.
Figure 1--1 shows compartments for both large and small sampling modules, along with the plug-in connector for the ESD wrist strap that you must use to install and remove these modules.

Maximum Configuration
You can install up to two large sampling modules and four small modules for a maximum of 12 inputs. Of these inputs, only eight inputs can be active at one time. Also, note that installing a large module may disable a small-module compartment. Refer to the DSA8200 Quick Start user manual for compartment interaction.
Install probes, cables, and other connection accessories to your sampling modules as appropriate for your application and sampling module. Again, consult your sampling-module and connection-accessory manuals. Continue with the next section after installing the sampling modules.
