can be stored
in
ambient
temperatures between
-55"C
and
+75oC.
After
storage at
temperatures beyond the
operating
limits,
allow
the chassis
temperature to come within the
operating
limits before
power
is
applied.
The 7603
is
cooled
by convection
air
flow
through the
instrument. Components which
require the most cooling
are
mounted
externally
on a heat radiator at the rear.
Adequate
clearance
must be
provided
on all sides to allow
heat to be
dissipated
from the
instrument.
Do not block or
restrict the air flow through the
holes in the cabinet
or
the
heat radiator on the
rear. Maintain the clearance
provided
bv the feet
on
the bottom and allow about two
inches
clearance
on the
top, sides, and rear
(more
if
possible).
The R7603 is cooled
by
air drawn
in through the
air
filter
on
the rear
panel
and
blown
out
through
the
holes on
the right side.
Adequate clearance must be
provided
at
these
locations. Allow at
least
one and one-half
inches
clearance
behind
the air
filter and at least one
inch
on the
right
side.
A thermal cutout
in
this
instrument
provides
thermal
protection
and
interrupts the
power
to
the instrument if
the
internal
temperature
exceeds a safe
operating
level.
Power
is
automatically restored when the
temperature
returns to a safe
level.
Operation
in conf ined
areas or
in
close
proximity
to heat-producing instruments may cause
the thermal cutout to open
more
frequently.
Operating
Position
A bale-type stand
is mounted
on the
bottom
of
this
instrument.
This
stand
permits
the 7603 to be tilted up
about
i0o for
more convenient
viewing.
Rackmounting
Instructions
and
dimensional
drawings for rackmounting
the R7603
are
located in Section
6 of the service manual.

@
PLUG.IN
UNITS
lGeneral
The 7603
is
designed to accept up to three TEKTRONIX
7-series
plug-in
units.
This
plug-in
feature
allows a variety
of
display combinations
and also allows selection
of band-
width, sensitivity, display mode,
etc. to
meet
the measure-
ment requirements. In
addition, it
allows the oscilloscope
system to be
expanded to meet f uture measurement
requirements.
The
overall
capabilities
of the
resultant
system are
in
large
part
determined by the
characteristics
of
the
plug-in
selected. For complete information
on
plug-ins
available for
use with this
instrument,
see the current
Tektronix,
I nc. catalog.
Plug-ln
Installation
To install
a
plug-in
unit into
one of the
plug-in
compartments, align the slots
in
the top and bottom
of
the
plug-in
with the
associated
guide
rails in
the
plug-in
compartment. Push the
plug-in
unit
firmly into
the
plug-in
compartment until
it locks into
place.
To remove
a
plug-in,
pull
the release latch
on
the
plug-in
unit to disengage it
and
pull
the unit
out of
the
plug-in
compartment. Plug-in
units
can
be removed
or
installed
without turninq
off
the
instrument
power.
It
is
not necessary that
all of the
plug-in
compartments
be filled to operate the
instrument;
the
only
plug-in
units
needed
are those required for the measurement
to
be made.
lHowever,
at environmental extremes,
excess
radiation may
l
'
be radiated into
or out of this
instrument
through the
open
plug-in
compartments. Blank
plug-in panels
are
available
from Tektronix, lnc.
to cover the unused
compartment;
order
TEKTRON lX Part No. 016-0155-00.
When
the
7603 is calibrated in
accordance with the
calibration
procedure given
in
this
instruction
manual, the
vertical and
horizontal
gain
are standardized. This
allows
calibrated
plug-in
units to
be
changed from one
plug-in
compartment
to another without
recalibration. However,
the basic calibration of the individual
plug-in
units should
be checked when
they are
installed in
this system
to
verifv
their
measurement
accuracy. See the operating instructions
section
of the
plug-in
unit instruction manual for verifi-
cation
orocedure.
Special
purpose plug-in
units may have
specific restric-
tions regarding
the
plug-in
compartments in
which
they can
be
installed.
This information
will be
given
in
the instruc-
tion manual
for these
plug-in
units.
NOTE
Later
production
of
rackmount
oscilloscopes
are
pro-
vided
with
support
posts
between the individual
plug-
in
compartments. A
post
or
posts
must
be
removed
if
I
a
multiwidth
plug-in
is to be installed. To remove a
/
post,
unfasten
the screws that secure it at
the top and
bottom
of the
plug-in
housing.

of the d isplay.
Slight
re-ad
justment
of the

may
be necessary,
when
the intensity

from
the
CRT. When
using
these
f ilters,
avoid
advancing
the INTENSITY

Graticule
The graticule
of the 7603 is marked
on the inside
of the
faceplate
of the CRT,
providing
accurate, no-parallax

The
graticule
is
divided into
eight vertical
and ten horizontal
divisions. Each
division is
1.22 centi-
meters
square.
In
addition,
each major division
is
divided
into
five minor
divisions.
The
vertical
gain
and
horizontal
timing
of the
plug-in
units
are calibrated
to
the
graticule
so
accurate measurements
can be
made from

Vertical Mode
Left and Right Mode.
When
the
LEFT
or
RIGHT
button
of
the
VERT MODE
switch
is
pressed,
only the signal
from
the
plug-in
unit
in
the selected
compartment is
displayed.
Alternate
Mode.
The ALT
position
of the VERT
MODE
switch
produces
a display which
alternates between
the
plug-in
units in
the
left
vertical
and right vertical
compart-
ments
with each sweep
of the CRT. Although
the ALT
mode can be
used
at all sweep rates,
the CHOP mode
provides
a more satisfactory
display
at sweep rates below
about 20 milliseconds/division.
At
these slower
sweep rates,
alternate-mode switching becomes
visually
perceptible.
NOTE
This instrument
will not operate in
the ALT
mode if
the horizontal
plug-in
unit is
not operated in
the
time-base
mode.
The
TRIG SOURCE
switch
allows selection
of the
triggering
for an alternate display. When
this
switch is set
to
the VERT MODE
position,
each sweep is
triggered by
the
signal being
displayed on the
CRT.
This
provides
a stable
display of two unrelated signals,
but
does
not indicate
the
time relationship between
the signals. In
either the LEFT
or
RIGHT
positions
of
the TRIG
SOURCE
switch, the two
signals
are displayed showing
true time
relationship.
However, if
the signals
are
not
time-related, the
display
from the
plug-in
unit
which is
not
providing
a trigger signal
will appear unstable
on
the CRT.
Chopped Mode. The
CHOP
position
of the VERT
MODE
switch
produces
a display which
is
electronically
switched between channels
at a one-megahertz rate. In
general,
the CHOP
mode
provides
the
best
display
at
sweep
rates lower than
about
20 milliseconds/division,
or when-
ever dual-trace single-shot
phenomena
are to be displayed.
At faster sweep rates,
the
chopped
switching becomes
apparent and
may interfere with
the display.
Correct internal triggering for the CHOP mode
can be
obtained
in
any of the three
positions
of the TR lG
)SOUnCe
switch. When the TRIG SOURCE
switch
is
set to

the

plug-in

Use of the LEFT
or
RIGHT
trigger-source
positions
trigggers
the time-base
unit
on the internal
trigger signal
from the
selected
vertical
unit
only.
This
allows
two time-related
signals
to be
displayed
showing
true
time relationship.
However,
if
the signals
are
not time-related,
the display from
the channel
which is
not
providing
the
trigger signal
will appear
unstable. The
CHOP
mode
can be used
to compare
two single-shot,
transient,
or
random
signals
which
occur within
the time
interval
determined
by the
time-base
unit
(ten
times selected
sweep
rate). To
provide
correct triggering,
the display
which
provides
the trigger signal
must
precede
the second
display
in
time.
Since the
signals show
true
time relationship,
time-difference
measurements
can be
made from
the
display.
Algebraic
Addition.
The ADD
position
of the VERT
MODE
switch can
be used to
display the
sum
or difference
of two signals,
for common-mode
rejection
to remove
an
undesired signal,
or for DC
offset
(applying
a
DC voltage
to
one
channnel
to
offset the DC component
of a signal
on the
other channel). The common-mode
rejection
ratio between
the vertical
plug-in
compartments
of the 7603 is
greater
than 20:1
at 50 megahertz. The
rejection
ratio
increases
to
100:'l
at DC.
The
overall
deflection factor
on
the
CRT in
the
ADD
mode is
the resultant
of the
algebraic addition
of the
signals
from
the two vertical
plug-in
units. lt is
difficult
to
determine
the voltage
amplitude
of the resultant
display
unless the
amplitude
of the signal
applied
to one of
the
plug-in
units is
known. This is
particularly
true
when the
vertical
units
are set to different
deflection
factors,
since it
is not
obvious
which
portion
of the
display is
a result of the
signal
applied to either
plug-in
unit.
Also,
the
polarity
and
repetition
rate
of the applied
signals
enters into
the
calcu lation.
The
following
general
precautions
should be
observed
to
provide
the
best
display when
using the ADD
mode:
1. Do not
exceed the input
voltage rating
of
the
plug-in
u n its.
2. Do not
apply large signals
to the
plug-in
inputs.
A
good
rule to follow is not
to
apply a signal
which exceeds
an
equivalent of about
eight times
the vertical
deflection
factors. For
example,
with a vertical
def lection
factor
of
0.5
volt/division, the voltage
applied to that
plug-in
unit
should
not
exceed
4 volts.
Larger
voltages may
result in
a
distorted display.
3. To
ensure
the
greatest
dynamic
range
in the ADD
mode, set the
position
controls
of the
plug-in
units to
a
1-1
1
Operating
I nstructions-7603/R7603
Service
setting
which would
result in
a mid-screen
display if
viewed
in
the LEFT
or
RIGHT
positions
of the VERT
MODE
switch.
4.
For
similar response
from
each channel,
set
the
plug-in
units for
the same input
coupling.
Trigger
Source
The
TRIG
SOURCE
switch
allows
selection
of the
internal
trigger
signal
for
the
time-base
unit.
For
most
applications,
this
switch
can be
set
to the
VERT
MODE
position.
This
position
is
the most
convenient,
since
the
internal
trigger
signal
is
automaticallv
switched
as the
VERT
MODE
switch is
changed,
or
as the
display
is
electronically
switched
between
the left
vertical
and right
vertical
plug-in
units in
the ALT
position
of the VERT
MODE
switch.
lt
also
provides
a
usable
trigger
signal in
the
ADD
or CHOP
positions
of the VERT
MODE
switch.
since
the internal
trigger
signal
in
these
modes
is
the
algebraic
sum
of
the signals
applied
to
the vertical plug-in
units.
Therefore,
the
VERT IVIODE position
ensures
that
the
time-base
unit
receives
a trigger
signal
regardless
of the
VERT
MODE
switch
setting,
without
the
need
to chanqe
the
trigger
source
selection.
lf
correct
triggering
for
the
desired
display
is
not
obtained
in
the
VERT
MODE
position.
the
LEFT
or
RIGHT
positions
can
be
used
to
obtain
the
trigger
signal
from
either
the left
vertical
or right
vertical
plug-in
unit.
The internal
trigger
signal
is
obtained
from
the
selected
vertical
compartment,
whether
the
plug-in
unit in
that
compartment
is
selected
for
display
on the
CRT
or not.
lf
the internal
trigger
signal
is
obtained
from
one
of the
vertical
units, but
the
other
vertical
unit is
selected
for
display,
the internal
trigger
signal
must
be
time-related
to
the
displayed
signal
in
order
to
obtain
a triggered
(stable)
d isplav.
X-Y
Operation
In
some
applications,
it is
desirable
to
display
one
signal
versus
another
(X-Y)
rather
than
against
time
(internal
sweep).
The
flexibility
of the
plug-in
units
available
for
use
with
the 7603
provides
a
means
for
applying
an
external
signal
to the
horizontal
deflection
system
for
this
tvpe
of
display.
Some
of the
7B-series
time-base
untts
can
be
operated
as amplifiers
in
addition
to
their
normat
use
as
tinre-base
generators.
This
feature
allows
an
external
signal
to
provide
the horizontal
def lection
on the
CRT. For
most
of the
time-base
units
with
the
amplifier
function,
the
X
(horizontal)
signal
can be
connected
either
to
an
external
Input
connector
on
the time-base
unit
or
it
can
be
routed
to
the time-base
unit through
the internal
triggerrng
sysrem
(see
time-base
instruction
manual
f
or details)
. lf
the latter
method
is
used,
the TRIG
SOURCE
switches
must
De
set so
that
the
X
(horizontal)
signal
is
obtained
from
one
of the
1-12
vertical
units
and
the Y
(vertical)
signal is
obtained
from
the
other
vertical
unit.
The
advantages
of
using
the internal
tngger
system
to
provide
the
X
signal
are
that
the
attenuator
switch
of the
amplifier
unit providing
the
horizontal
signal
determines
the
horizontal
deflection
factor
to
allow full-range
operation
and the
plug-in
units
do
not
have
to
be
moved
between
compartments
when
X_y
operation
is desired.
Another
method
of
obtaining
an X-y
display
is
to install
an amplif
ier
plug-in
unit in
one
of the
horizontal plug_in
compartments
(check
amplifier
unit gain
as
given
in
the
plug-in
instruction
manual
to
obtain
calibrated
horizontal
deflection
factors).
This
method provides
the best
X-y
display,
particularly
if
two identical
amplifier
units
are
used,
since
both
the
X
and Y
input
systems
will
have
the
same
delay
time, gain
characteristics,
input
coupling,
etc.
For
further
information
on
obtaining
X-y
displays,
see
the
plug-in
unit
manuals.
Also,
the
reference
books
listed
under
Applications
provide
information
on
X-y
measurements
and
interpreting
the resultant
lissajous
displays.
Intensity
Modulation
Intensity
(Z-axis)
modulation
can
be
used
to
relate
a
third item
of
electrical
phenomena
to
the vertical
(y-axis)
and
the
horizontal
(X-axis)
coordinates
without
affectino
the
waveshape
of the
displayed
signal.
The
Z-axis
modul
I
lating
signal
applied
to
the CRT
circuit
changes
the
I
intensity
of the
displayed
waveform
to
provide
this
type
of
display.
"Gray
scale"
intensity
modulation
can
be
obtained
by
applying
signals
which
do not
completely
blank
the
display.
Large
amplitude
signals
of the
correct
polarity
will
completely
blank
the
display;
the
sharpest
display
is
provided
by
signals
with
a fast
rise
and
fall. The
voltage
amplitude
required
for
visible
trace
modulation
depends
upon
the
setting
of the INTENSITY
control.
A
two_volt
peak-to-peak
signal
will
completely
blank
the display
even
at maximum
intensity
levels.
Lower
amplitude
signals
can
be
used
to
only change
the
trace
brightness
rather
than
completely
blank
the
display.
Negative-going
modulating
signals
increase
the
display
intensity
and
positive-going
modulating
signals
decrease
the
display
intensity.
Useful
input
frequency
range
is
DC
to 10
megahertz
(input
voltage
derating
necessary
above

megahertz).
The

voltage
should
be limited
to 10
volts
(DC
plus
peak

Time
markers
applied

the
EXT
Z
AX lS
input
connector provide
a direct
time
reference
on the
display.
With
uncalibrated
horizontal
sweep
or
external
horizontal
mode
operation,
the
time
markers
provide
a means
of
reading
time
directly
from
the
display.
However,
if
the
markers
are not
time-related
to
the
displayed
waveform,
a
single-sweep
display
should
be
used
(for
internal
sweep
only)
to
provide
a stable
display.

effectively
increase
the apparent sweep length. For
this type of display, the
trace is
deflected
both vertically
and horizontally by
sawtooth signals. This is
accomplished in the 7603 by
installing a 7B-series
time-base unit in
one of the
vertical
plug-in
compartments. Normally,
the
time-base
unit in the
vertical
compartment should be set to
a slower sweep rate
than the time-base unit in
the horizontal compartment;
the
number
of horizontal traces in the raster
depends upon the
ratio between
the two sliveep rates. Information
can be
displayed
on the raster using several
different
methods. ln
the
ADD
position
of the VERT MODE
switch,
the
signal
from an amplifier unit can be
algebraically
added
to the
vertical
deflection.
With
this method,
the vertical signal
amplitude on the CRT should not
exceed the distance
between
the horizontal lines
of the raster. Another
method
of displaying information
on the raster is to
use the
EXT
Z
AXIS
input
to
provide
intensity modulation
of the
display.
This
type
of
raster
display could be
used to
provide
a
television-type display. Complete information
on operation
using the Z-axis
feature is
given
under Intensity
Modulation.
To
provide
a
stable
raster display. both
time-base
units
must be correctly
triggered. Internal
triggering
is
not
provided
for the time-base
units
when they
are
in the
vertical compartments;
external
triggering must be
used.
Also, blanking
is not
provided
from the
time-base units
when they
are
installed
in a vertical
compartment. To
blank
out the retrace
portion
from the time-base
unit
in
the
vertical
compartment,
special connections
must be made
from
this time-base
unit to the blanking
network
of
the
7603.
lf this mode
of operation is
desirable, contact
your
local TEKTRONIX
Field
Office or representative
for
specif ic information
on obtaining blanking
with the specif ic
time-base unit being
used
in
the vertical
compartment.
Calibrator
General. The internal
calibrator
of
the 7603
provides
a
convenient signal source for
checking basic
vertical
gain
and
for
adjusting
probe
compensation
as
described in the
probe
instruction
manual.
In
addition, the calibrator can
be used
as a
convenient
signal source for
application to
external
equ ipment.
Voltage. The
calibrator
provides
accurate output voltage
of
40 millivolts,0.4
volt,
and
4 volts
at the three
front-panel
pin-jack
connectors
into
high-impedance loads.
Output resistance is
approximately 50 ohms
at
the 40 mV
and
0.4
V
pin
jacks
and
approximately
450
ohms at the 4 V
pin
jack.
Current. A 40-milliampere,
one-kilohertz output current
is
provided
when
the optional current-loop
accessory
tA)
Operating
I nstructions-7603/R7603
Service
(TE
KTRON lX Part
No. 012-0259-00)
is connected
between
the 4 V
pin-jack
and
ground.
This
output
can
be
used to check and calibrate
current-measuring
probe
systems.
Waveshape.
The
square-wave output signal
of the cali-
brator
can be used
as a
reference
waveshape
when checking
or adjusting the compensation
of
passive,
high-resistance
probes.
Since
the square-wave output
from the calibrator
has a flat
top, any distortion in
the displayed
waveform
is
due
to the
probe
compensation.
DC voltage
output is
also
available by changing
a
jumper
on the calibrator
board; see
Fis.
1-5.

Signals Out
Vertical
Signal.
The
VERT
SIG OUT
connector
provides
a sample
of the vertical deflection
signal. The
source
of
the
output signal is
determined by the TRIG
SOURCE
switch.
The source
will follow the
setting of the TRIG
SOURCE
switch. When the TRIG
SOURCE is in
the VERT MODE
the
output will follow the VERTICAL
MODE
switch
except CHOP. then
the signals
are
ADDED.
The
output
signals
are
LEFT, ALT,
ADD
and RIGHT. The
output
signal
into
50 ohms
is
about 25
millivolts/division
of the
vertical signal
displayed on systems
CRT. The
output signal
into 1
megohm is
about
0.5
volts/division
of the
vertical
signal
displayed on the systems
CRT.
+
Gate. The

gate
connector
provides
a sweep
gate
signal that is
generated
by
the time base

provides
a
positive
going
sample
of the
sawtooth
from the time base
unit
in
the horizontal comoartment. The rate
of
rise
of the
sawtooth
signal
is
about 50 millivolts/unit

Using This
Procedure
General. This
section
provides
several features
to facili-
tate calibration of the
7603. These
are:
lndex.
An index is
given
preceding
the calibration
procedure
to aid
in locating
a step.
Partial Procedure. A
partial
calibration is
often desirable
after replacing components, or to touch
up the adjustment
of a
portion
of
the instrument
between major recalibra-
tions.
To calibrate
only
part
of the
instrument,
set
the
controls as
given
under
Preliminary
Control
Settings and
start with
the
nearest Equipment
Required list
preceding
the desired
portion.
To
prevent
unnecessary
recalibration
of
other
parts
of the
instrument, re-adjust
only if the tolerance
given
in
the CHECK-
part
of the step is not met. lf
re-ad
justment
is necessary,
also
check
the calibration of any
steps listed in the INTERACTION-
part
of the step.
Complete Calibration
Procedure.
Completion
of each
step in
the
following calibration
procedure
insures
that this
instrument
is both correctly
adjusted and
performing
within
all
given
tolerances.
IMPORTANT
NOTE
All

IRED
General
test equipment
and accessories,
or its equivalent,
the
Test Equipment
table is required
for
complete
calibration
of the
7603.
Specif ications
given
for the test
equipment
are the minimum necessary
for accurate
calibra-
tion. Therefore,
the specifications
of any test

is needed.
Special
Calibration Fixtures
Special TEKTRONIX

Calibration Equipment
Alternatives
All
of
the listed test
equipment is required
to completely
check
and
adjust this
instrument.
This Calibration
procedure
is based
on the first
item
of equipment
given
as
an example
of applicable
equipment. When
other
equipment is substituted,
control settings
or
calibration
setup may need
to be
altered slightly
to meet
the
requirements
of the substitute
equipment. lf
the exact item
of test
equipment
given
as
an example in
the Test
Equipment
table is not
available, first check
the Specifica-
tions column carefully
to see if
any other
equipment is
available which might
suffice. Then
check
the Usage
column
to see what this item
of
test
equipment is
used for.
lf
used for
a check
or adjustment which is
of little
or
no
importance
to
your
measurement requirements,
the item
and
corresponding
step(s)
can be deleted.
The
following
procedure
is
written
to completely
check
and adjust the 7603
to the
limits
given
in Section 2
and to
allow
interchanging
7000-series
plug-in
units between
7000-series
mainframes without
the need to recalibrate
the
instruments
each time.
lf
the
applications
for which
you
will use
the
7603
do not
require
the full
available
performance
from
the
7603/plug-in
combination,
this
procedure
and the required
equipment list
can be shortened
accordingly. For
example,
the basic measurement
capa-
bilities
of this
instrument
can
be verified by
checking
vertical
deflection
accuracy, vertical
square-wave
response,
and basic
horizontal
timing with 7000-series
real-time
plug-in
units
and an accurate square-wave
signal.
Also, if
the
7603/plug-in
combination is
to be
used
as a fixed
svstem
without
the need
to
interchange
plug-in
units,
all tests can
be made
by substituting
vertical
plug-in
units and
applicable
test signals
for the 067-0587
01 mainframe
standardizer
calibration f ixture.
