Important safety information
This manual contains information and warnings that must be followed by the user for safe operation and to keep the product in a
safe condition.
General safety summary
Use the product only as specified. Review the following safety precautions to avoid injury and prevent damage to this product or
any products connected to it. Carefully read all instructions. Retain these instructions for future reference.
This product shall be used in accordance with local and national codes.
For correct and safe operation of the product, it is essential that you follow generally accepted safety procedures in addition to
the safety precautions specified in this manual.
The product is designed to be used by trained personnel only.
Only qualified personnel who are aware of the hazards involved should remove the cover for repair, maintenance, or adjustment.
Before use, always check the product with a known source to be sure it is operating correctly.
This product is not intended for detection of hazardous voltages.
Use personal protective equipment to prevent shock and arc blast injury where hazardous live conductors are exposed.
To avoid fire or personal injury
Use proper power cord. Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use. Do not use the
provided power cord for other products.
Ground the product. This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the
grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the
product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.
Power disconnect. The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do not
position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to allow for
quick disconnection if needed.
Connect and disconnect properly. Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage
source. Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be
suitable for the product.
Observe all terminal ratings. To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating and markings on the product. Consult the product
manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product. Do not exceed the Measurement Category
(CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory. Use caution
when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the product.
Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.
Do not operate without covers. Do not operate this product with covers or panels removed, or with the case open. Hazardous
voltage exposure is possible.
Avoid exposed circuitry. Do not touch exposed connections and components when power is present.
Do not operate with suspected failures. If you suspect that there is damage to this product, have it inspected by qualified
service personnel.
Disable the product if it is damaged. Do not use the product if it is damaged or operates incorrectly. If in doubt about safety of the
product, turn it off and disconnect the power cord. Clearly mark the product to prevent its further operation.

Important safety information
Before use, inspect voltage probes, test leads, and accessories for mechanical damage and replace when damaged. Do not use
probes or test leads if they are damaged, if there is exposed metal, or if a wear indicator shows.
Examine the exterior of the product before you use it. Look for cracks or missing pieces.
Use only specified replacement parts.
Do not operate in wet/damp conditions. Be aware that condensation may occur if a unit is moved from a cold to a warm
environment.
Do not operate in an explosive atmosphere.
Keep product surfaces clean and dry. Remove the input signals before you clean the product.
Provide proper ventilation. Refer to the installation instructions in the manual for details on installing the product so it has
proper ventilation.
Slots and openings are provided for ventilation and should never be covered or otherwise obstructed. Do not push objects into
any of the openings.
Provide a safe working environment. Always place the product in a location convenient for viewing the display and indicators.
Avoid improper or prolonged use of keyboards, pointers, and button pads. Improper or prolonged keyboard or pointer use may
result in serious injury.
Be sure your work area meets applicable ergonomic standards. Consult with an ergonomics professional to avoid stress injuries.
Use care when lifting and carrying the product. This product is provided with a handle or handles for lifting and carrying.
WARNING. The product is heavy. To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to the device get help when lifting or carrying
the product.
Use only the Tektronix rackmount hardware specified for this product.
Probes and test leads
Before connecting probes or test leads, connect the power cord from the power connector to a properly grounded power outlet.
Keep fingers behind the protective barrier, protective finger guard, or tactile indicator on the probes.
Remove all probes, test leads and accessories that are not in use.
Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads, and
adapters for any measurement.

Specifications
This chapter contains specifications for the instrument. All specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical
specifications are provided for your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications that are marked with the symbol are
checked in this manual. All specifications apply to all models unless noted otherwise.
To meet specifications, these conditions must first be met:
■
The instrument must have been calibrated in an ambient temperature between 18 °C and 28 °C (64 °F and 82 °F).
■
The instrument must be operating within the environmental limits. (See Environmental specifications on page 29.)
■
The instrument must be powered from a source that meets the specifications. (See Power supply system on page 29.)
■
The instrument must have been operating continuously for at least 20 minutes within the specified operating temperature
range.
■
You must perform the Signal Path Compensation procedure after the warmup period. See the online help for instructions on
how to perform signal path compensation. If the ambient temperature changes more than 5 °C (9 °F) , repeat the
procedure.

✓Delta-time measurement
accuracy
The formula to calculate delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting
and input signal is as follows (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist frequency):
SR 1 = Slew Rate (1st Edge) around 1st point in measurement
SR 2 = Slew Rate (2nd Edge) around 2nd point in measurement
N = input-referred guaranteed noise limit (V
TBA = timebase accuracy or Reference Frequency Error
t p = delta-time measurement duration (sec)
(assume edge shape that results from Gaussian filter response)

DTApp(typical) = 10 ×
DTA
RMS
The term under the square root sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The
errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to
both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase and
varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of
time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).

✓Voltage accuracy
DC: ±((1.5% * |reading - offset - position|) + (0.5% * |(offset - position)|) + (0.1 * Volts/div))
De-rated at 0.100%/°C of |reading - offset - position| above 30 °C

+DC, AC
RMS
Signal ± 5 divisions from screen center
AC: ± 2% (40 Hz to 1 kHz) with no harmonic content outside 40 Hz to 1 kHz range
AC, typical: ± 2% (20 Hz to 10 kHz)
For AC measurements, the input channel vertical settings must allow the VPP input signal to cover
between 4 and 10 divisions and must be fully visible on the screen
