RMS

There is an over-voltage trip circuit, intended to protect against overloads that might damage termination resistors. A sufﬁciently large impulse can cause damage regardless of the over-voltage protection circuitry, due to the ﬁnite time required to detect the over-voltage condition and respond to it.

Maximum Data Rate:

For logic, time between channels refers to the length of time a logic state derived from more than one channel must exist to be recognized. For Time Qualiﬁed Logic events, the time is the minimum time between a main and delayed event that will be recognized if more than one channel is used.

An active pulse width is the width of the clock pulse from its active edge (as deﬁned through the Deﬁne Inputs button on the lower menu and the ClockEdgebuttononthesidemenu)toitsinactiveedge. Aninactivepulsewidthisthewidthofthepulsefromitsinactiveedgetoitsactiveedge.

The User hold time is the number selected by the user through the Setup and Hold trigger menu.

Setup + Hold time is the algebraic sum of the Setup Time and the Hold Time programmed by the user. For Setup time, positive numbers mean a data transition before the clock.

For Hold time, positive numbers mean a data transition after the clock edge.

Trigger after events is the time between the last A trigger event and the ﬁrst B trigger event.

Trigger after time is the time between the end of the time period and the B trigger event.

You may need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.

These procedures cover all MDO3000 models. Please disregard any checks that do not apply to the speciﬁc model you are testing.

Print the test record on the following pages and use it to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope.

NOTE. Completion of the performance veriﬁcation procedure does not update the stored time and date of the latest

successful adjustment. The date and time are updated only when the adjustment procedures in the service manual are successfully completed.

The performance veriﬁcation procedures verify the performance of your instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If your instrument fails any of the performance veriﬁcation tests, you should perform the factory adjustment procedures as described in the MDO3000 Series Service Manual.

Upgrade the Firmware

For the best functionality, you can upgrade the oscilloscope ﬁrmware. To upgrade the ﬁrmware, follow these steps:

1. Open a Web browser and go to www.tektronix.com/software/downloads to locate the most recent ﬁrmware upgrade.

2. Download the latest ﬁ rmware for your oscilloscope onto your PC.

3. Unzip the ﬁles and copy the "ﬁrmware.img" ﬁle into the root folder of a USB ﬂash drive.

4. Power off your oscilloscope.

5. Insert the USB ﬂash drive into a USB Host port on the front or back of the oscilloscope.

6. Power on the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope automatically recognizes the replacement ﬁrmware and installs it.

If the instrument does not install the ﬁrmware, rerun the procedure. If the problem continues, contact qualiﬁed service personnel.

NOTE. Do not power off the oscilloscope or remove the USB ﬂash drive until the oscilloscope ﬁnishes installing the ﬁrmware.

7. Power off the oscilloscope and remove the USB ﬂash drive.

8. Power on the oscilloscope.

9. Push the Utility button on the front-panel.

10. Push Utility Page on the lower menu.

11. Turn Multipurpose knob “ a” and select Conﬁg.

12. Push About on the lower menu. The oscilloscope displays the ﬁrmware version number.

13. Conﬁrm that the version number matches that of the new ﬁrmware.

The o scilloscope displays a message when the installation is complete.

Performance Veriﬁcation Procedures

The following three conditions must be met prior to performing these procedures:

1. The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty (20) minutes in an environment that meets the operating range speciﬁcations for temperature and humidity.

Performance Ver

iﬁcation

2. You must perform a signal path compensation (SPC). (See Self Tests — System Diagnostics and Sig Compensation section below.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you must perform the

signal path compensation again.

3. You must connect the oscilloscope and the test equipment to the same AC power circuit. Connect the oscilloscope and test instruments into a common power strip if you are unsure of the AC power circuit distribution. Connecting the oscilloscope and test instruments into separate AC power circuits can result in offset voltages between the equipment, which can invalidate the performance veriﬁcation procedure.

The time required to complete all the procedures is approximately one hour.

WARNING. Some procedures use hazardous voltages. To prevent electrical shock, always set voltage source outputs

to 0 V before making or changing any interconnections.

nal Path

Self Tests — System Diagnostics and Signal Pa th Compensation

These procedures use internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and passes its internal self tests. No test equipment or hookups are required. Start the self test with these steps:

Run the System Diagnostics (may take several minutes):

1. Disconnect all probes and cables from the oscilloscope inputs.

2. Push Default Setup on the front-panel to set the instrument to the factory default settings.

3. Push Utility .

4. Push Utility Page on the lower menu, and turn Multipur po se knob “a” to select Self Test.

5. Push Self Test on the lower menu. The Loop X Times side menu button will be set to Loop 1 Times.

6. Push OK Run Self Test on the side menu.

7. Wait while the s elf test runs. When the self test completes, a dialog box displays the results of the self test.

8. Cycle the oscilloscope power off and back on before proceeding.

NOTE. Remember to cycle the oscilloscope power off and back on before proceeding.

Run the signal path compensation routine (may take 5 to 15 m inutes):

1. Push Default Setup on the front panel.

2. Push Utility .

3. Push Utility Page on the lower menu.

4. Turn Multipurpose knob “a” to select Calibratio n.

5. Push Signal Path on the lower menu.
