The differences between the data timing generators will be called out when necessary; otherwise, the material applies to all data timing generators. The term “data timing generator” refers to all of the products.

Key Features

The DTG5000 Series Data Timing Generator is a high-speed, multichannel signal generator that creates a wide range of digital timing signals. The products are designed to generate a data pattern for standard and nonstandard pulses necessary for functional tests or characterization of legacy devices (TTL, CMOS, ECL) as well as the latest devices (PECL, LVDS, GTL, CML).

Use the DTG5000 series to insert glitches and jitter as needed, and easily create patterns for device stress testing. In addition, to shorten testing time, use the sequence function to create signal sequences from combinations of various patterns.

The DTG5000 Series Data T iming Generator supports six types of output modules (DTGM10, DTGM20, DTGM21, DTGM30, DTGM31 and DTGM32). Table 1-1 lists the key features of the data timing generators, and Table 1-2 lists the key features of the output modules.

Product Software

Product Description

The data timing generator includes the following software:

 The system software, which includes a specially configured version of

Windows 2000, comes preinstalled on the data timing generator. Windows 2000 is the operating system on which the user-interface application of this product runs, and provides an open desktop for you to inst all other compatible applications.

NOTE. Do not attempt to substitute any version of Windows that is not specifically

provided by Tektronix for use with this instrument.

 The DTG5000 Software comes preinstalled on the data timing generator. This

software, runs on Wind ows 2000, is the data timing generator application. This software starts automatically when the data timing generator is powered on, and provides the user interface (UI) and all other instrument control functions. You can also minimize the data timing generator application.

 The product software runs not only on the data timing generator

mainframe, but also on the general PC. When the software runs on the data timing generator mainframe, it is called the Online mode. While running on the PC, it is called the Offline mode. In the Offline mode, it is possible to create and edit the pattern data and set the output parameters.

 The DTG5000 Configuration Utility comes preinstalled on the data timing

generator. Th is software, running on W in dows 2000, is used for setting up the system configurations for the DTG5000 Software. This software controls the Master operation, Master/Slave operation, Online/Offline operation, and so forth.

NOTE. When you use the DTG5000 software with the offline mode, you must also

install the DTG5000 Configuration Utility into your PC.

 The Readme file contains release notes and updates that could not be included

in other product documentation.

 There are no limits on number of PCs that can operate in the offline mode.

Occasionally new versions of software for your instrument may become available at our web site. See Contacting Tektronix on page xiv in the Preface section for web site information.

Checking the Environmental Requirements

Read this section before attempting any installation procedures. This section describes site considerations and power requirements for your data timing generator.

Site Considerations

The data timing generator is designed to operate on a bench in the normal position (on the bottom feet). For proper cooling, at least three inches (7.62 cm) of clearance is required on both sides of the data timing generator, and the bottom requires the clearance provided by the mainframe feet.

If you operate the data timing generator in the Master-Slave mode, you can stack up to two mainframes.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the mainframe, always close the bottom stands

when you stack the mainframes.

Using a cart is not recommended when you stack the mainframes. Doing so could result in serious damage to the cart or mainframes.

Do not operate the mainframe while it rests on its left side feet. Always place the mainframe in the normal position (on the bottom feet) while the mainframe is powered-on.

Cleaning

Inspect the arbitrary waveform generator as often as operating conditions require. To clean the exterior surface, perform the following steps:

1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the front panel display.

2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the instrument. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner.

WAR N I N G. To avoid personal injury, power down the instrument and disconnect

it from line voltage before performing any of the above procedures.

CAUTION. To avoid damage to the surface of the arbitrary waveform generator,

do not use any abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.

Installation

Output Module

The DTG5000 Series Data Timing Generator mainframe and output module(s) are shipped separately . At least on e output mo dule must be installed in the mainframe slot to operate properly.

Six types of output modules can be combined in any combination. Each module can be inserted in any slot. There are functional differences between slot A to D and slot E to H. (Refer to Mainframe and Output Configuration on page 1-4.) It is recommended that slot A should be used when only one output module is installed in the mainframe slot.

Installing the Output

Module

To install the output module, first power off the mainframe using the front panel On/Standby switch.

1. Verify that the data timing generator mainframe is not powered on.

2. Remove the blank panel from the mainframe slot.

3. Place the output module in a compartment.

4. Gently push the output module into the slot with firm pressure.

5. Once the module is seated, tighten the two screws with a screwdriver to secure

the module to the mainframe.

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the output module or mainframe, never install or

remove the output module when the mainframe is powered on.

Some output modules get quite hot during operation. After powering off the data timing generator, wait several minutes before attempting to remove the output module.

Avoid touching the board surface or connectors of the output module with your fingers when you handle the module.

Attach the blank panel to the mainframe module slot(s) when the output module(s) are not installed.

If the output module is not in use for a long time, attach the connector caps and SMA terminations (DTGM30, DTGM31, and DTGM32) to the output module and then store the output module in the shipping carton in a ESD-protective bag. The connector caps and SMA terminations are provided with your output module.
