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.
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.
6 Series B Mixed Signal Oscilloscopes Specifications and Performance Verification 7
Important safety information

Specifications

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 45)
The instrument must be powered from a source that meets the specifications. (See Power supply system on page 45)
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.

Timebase system

Timebase factory tolerance Frequency tolerance at factory calibration is ±12 ppb (parts per billion).
At Calibration, 25 °C ambient, over any ≥1 ms interval.
Timebase temperature stability ±20 PPB across the full operating range of 0 °C to 50 °C, after a sufficient soak time at the
temperature. The instrument needs to soak at a fixed temperature for an extended period of time to insure
the time-base frequency is stable. The following is a worst case estimation for the frequency error versus the amount of time the instrument has been soaking at a temperature.Max error (in ppb) = ±10^[log[100/soak time(in hours)]]
For example, a 1 hour soak will have a max frequency error of ±100 ppb, but a 10 hour soak will have a max frequency error of 10 ppb.
±300 PPB/Year, and will not exceed ±2 PPM over 10 years without calibration. Calibration will reduce this frequency error to under ±12 PPB Frequency tolerance change at 25 °C over a periods of 1 year and 10 years.

40 ps/div can only be achieved with a 2.5 TS/s sample rate (maximum) and a 1000 point record length (minimum).The table below shows minimum horizontal scales for a collection of record lengths.

)*
Loop Bandwidth of external tracking mode is a function of the PLL loop maximum slew rate capability, and is not linear. The modulation deviation frequency (±Hz) is dependent upon the maximum modulation rate (Hz). For example, a deviation of ±50 Hz or less can tolerate any modulation rate. A deviation of the maximum amount specified for this mode (±10 kHz or 1 kppm) will tolerate up to 80 Hz of modulation rate. A deviation of ±500Hz will tolerate up to about 1240 Hz of modulation rate. This is based on a measured instrument response to the reference clock being modulated. Example measurement is in the below table.

Complies with the EMC provision of the Radiocommunications Act per the following standard, in accordance with ACMA.
EN 61326-1 and EN 61326-2-1 Radiated and conducted emissions, Group 1, Class A.

10 mV/division to 1 V/division: ≤0.1 division waveform displacement or ≤0.2 division increase in peak-to-peak noise is allowed when the instrument is subjected to fields and signals as defined in the IEC 61000-4-3.
9
This product is intended for use in nonresidential areas only. Use in residential areas may cause electromagnetic interference.
10
Emissions which exceed the levels required by this standard may occur when this equipment is connected to a test object.
11
For compliance with the EMC standards listed here, high quality shielded interface cables that incorporate low impedance connection between the cable shield and the connector shell should be used.
12
Equipment may not meet the immunity requirements of applicable listed standards when test leads and/or test probes are connected due to coupling of electromagnetic interference onto those leads/probes. To minimize the influence of electromagnetic interference, minimize the loop area between the unshielded portions of signal and associated return leads, and keep leads as far away as possible from electromagnetic disturbance sources. Twisting unshielded test leads together is an effective way to reduce loop area. For probes, keep the ground return lead as short as possible and close to the probe body. Some probes have accessory probe tip adapters to accomplish this most effectively. In all cases, observe all safety instructions for the probes or leads used.

You might need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.
These procedures cover all MSO64B, MSO66B, and MSO68B models. Disregard 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 return the instrument to Tektronix for adjustment or repair.
