Performance Verification

Procedures

Performance Verification Procedures

Two types of Performance Verification procedures can be performed on this product: Brief Procedures and Performance Tests. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on what you want to accomplish.

H To rapidly confirm that the oscilloscope functions and was adjusted properly,

just do the brief procedures under Self Tests, which begin on page 1–5. Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external

equipment or signal sources, and perform extensive functional and accuracy testing to provide high confidence that the oscilloscope will perform properly. They can be used as a quick check before making a series of important measurements.

H To further check functionality, first do the Self Tests just mentioned; then do

the brief procedures under Functional Tests that begin on page 1–7. Advantages: These procedures require minimal additional time to perform,

require no additional equipment other than a standard-accessory probe, and more completely test the internal hardware of the oscilloscope. They can be used to quickly determine if the oscilloscope is suitable for putting into service, such as when it is first received.

H If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, do the Perform-

ance Tests, beginning on page 1–17, after doing the Functional and Self Tests

just referenced. Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica-

tions. They require more time to perform and suitable test equipment is required. (See Equipment Required beginning on page 1–18).

If you are not familiar with operating this oscilloscope, read the oscilloscope reference or user manuals. These contain instructions that will acquaint you with the use of the front-panel controls and the menu system.

Brief Procedures

Self Tests

The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.

The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly. A probe is required to do these test procedures.

This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and was adjusted properly. No test equipment or hookups are required.

Functional Tests

Brief Procedures

The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the oscilloscope functions properly. The only equipment required is one of the standard-accessory probes and, to check the file system, a 3.5 inch, 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk.

CAUTION. The P6243, P6245, P6249 and probes that can be used with this oscilloscope provide an extremely low loading capacitance (<1 pF) to ensure the best possible signal reproduction. These probes should not be used to measure signals exceeding ±8 volts, or errors in signal measurement will be observed. Above 40 volts, damage to the probe may result. To make measurements beyond ±10 volts, use either the P6139A probe (good to 500 volts peak), the P6339A probe (for the TDS 694C & TDS 794D), or refer to the catalog for a recommended probe.

STOP. These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify that the oscilloscope features operate. They do not verify that they operate within limits.

Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to verify that a signal appears on-screen “that is about five divisions in amplitude” or “has a period of about six horizontal divisions,” etc., do NOT interpret the quantities given as limits. Operation within limits is checked in Performance Tests, which begin on page 1–17.

STOP. DO NOT make changes to the front-panel settings that are not called out in the procedures. Each verification procedure will require you to set the oscilloscope to certain default settings before verifying functions. If you make changes to these settings, other than those called out in the procedure, you may obtain invalid results. In this case, just redo the procedure from step 1.

When you are instructed to press a menu button, the button may already be selected (its label will be highlighted). If this is the case, it is not necessary to press the button.

d. Modify default settings:

H Set the vertical SCALE to 200 mV. H Set the horizontal SCALE for the M (main) time base to 200 ms.

Notice the waveform on the display now shows two cycles instead of five.

H Press SET LEVEL TO 50%. H Press CLEAR MENU to remove the menus from the screen.

e. Save the settings:

H Press SETUP. H Press the main-menu button Save Current Setup; then press the

side-menu button To File.

H Turn the general purpose knob to select the file to save. Choose

TEK?????.SET (or fd0:, the floppy disk drive, hd0:, the optional hard disk drive, or Zip:, if an external Zip drive is connected). With this choice, you will save a file starting with TEK, then containing 5-numbers, and a .SET extension. For example, the first time you run this on a blank, formatted disk or on the Example Programs Disk, the oscilloscope will assign the name TEK00000.SET to your file. If you ran the procedure again, the oscilloscope would increment the name and call the file TEK00001.SET.

NOTE. If testing an external Zip drive, it must first be connected to the oscilloscope, then be powered on simultaneously with the oscilloscope, or immediately after the oscilloscope is powered-on. This ensures proper communications are set up between the oscilloscope and the Zip drive.

Performance Tests

This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D, and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes perform as warranted.

The procedures are arranged in four logical groupings: Signal Acquisition System

Checks, Time Base System Checks, Triggering System Checks, and Output Ports Checks. They check all the characteristics that are designated as checked in Specifications. (The characteristics that are checked appear in boldface type under Warranted Characteristics in Specifications).

STOP. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic procedures described on page 1–5. The basic procedures should be done first, then these procedures performed if desired.

Prerequisites

The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:

H The cabinet must be installed on the oscilloscope. H You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, found

on page 1–5, and those under Functional Tests, found on page 1–7.

H A signal-path compensation must have been done within the recommended

calibration interval and at a temperature within ±5_ C of the present operating temperature. (If at the time you did the prerequisite Self Tests, the temperature was within the limits just stated, consider this prerequisite met).

H The oscilloscope must have been last adjusted at an ambient temperature

between +20_ C and +30_ C, must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperatures as follows: +4_ C to +40_ C for the TDS 694C, +4_ C to +45_ C for other TDS 600C and 0_ C to +50_ C for the TDS 500D, TDS 700D, and TDS 714L. (The warm-up requirement is usually met in the course of meeting the Self Tests and Functional Tests prerequisites listed above).

You may replace items 9, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, and 22 with a Wavetek 9100 (with options 100 and 600) for 500 MHz oscilloscopes, or a Wavetek 9500 (with option 100) and output head appropriate for the bandwidth of the oscilloscope(s) being tested. For 3 GHz oscilloscopes use a Wavetek 9530 head.

P6139A probe is not appropriate for the TDS694C/794D oscilloscopes.

Requires a TM 500 or TM 5000 Series Power Module Mainframe. For Delta Time Measurement Accuracy use a Wavetek 9500 or a pulse generator with a rise time as shown in Table 1–6 on page 1–58.

Warning: The P6243 and P6245 probes that may be used with this oscilloscope provide an extremely low loading capacitance (<1 pF) to ensure the best possible signal reproduction. These probes should not be used to measure signals exceeding ±8 V , or errors in signal measurement will be observed. Above 40 V, damage to the probe may result. To make measurements beyond ±8 V, use either the P6139A probe (good to 500 V), or refer to the catalog for a recommended probe. P6139A is not an appropriate probe for the TDS 694C or TDS 794D oscilloscopes.

If available, you may replace items 14, 15, and 16 with the following set of equipment for bandwidths up to 1 GHz: a Tegam/Tektronix SG503 and SG504 with SG504 leveling head.
