Detailed Signal Descriptions
This section covers output signals on Quickstart 8 board that
demonstrate the features of the TDS7000 series of oscilloscopes.
Switching Power Supply Signals: V SWITCH, I SWITCH
The V SWITCH (J2880) and I SWITCH signals are derived from the
switching power supply on the board. This power supply switches at
about 260 kHz. These signals were included to demonstrate the
current, voltage and power measurement capabilities on the
oscilloscope (see Figure 2–2).
Operating Basics
Figure 2–2: V switch, I switch
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board

Operating Basics
Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Baseband Signals
QAM I, QAM Q, and QAM CLK
. These signals emulate a baseband
quadrature amplitude modulated digital signal. The clock rate of the
signal is about 1 MHz. This signal is designed to demonstrate a
number of features including FastAcq, XY and XYZ as shown in
Figures 2–3 through 2–6.
Figure 2–3: QAM I, QAM Q, and QAM CLK signals
2–6
Figure 2–4: XY display
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Operating Basics
Figure 2–5: Y -T FastAcq display
XYZ Mode
Using the XYZ mode in place of the XY mode, permits the
instrument to sample signals at precise times when the incoming
signal is expected to be at the correct logic level. The Z parameter
comes from connecting an additional probe from Channel 3 to the
QAM CLK signal. The resulting QAM pattern will have data points
at precise locations without the noise shown in the XY QAM pattern.
Figure 2–6: XYZ FastAcq display
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
2–7
Operating Basics
A 250 mV Fast Rise Signal (Tr < 200 ps)
FAST RISE SIGNAL
. This signal (J600) has an edge that is faster than
the rise time of most oscilloscope, but T ektronix oscilloscope can
measure this signal. There is a long (relative to rise time) 50 W run
on the circuit board that is exposed and plated to allow for probing.
This is intended to demonstrate the ability of a probe and oscilloscope system to display small time differences or skew. This signal
can also be used as a deskew signal source (see Figure 2–7).
Figure 2–7: Fast Rise Signal
2–8
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Operating Basics
Dual Random Anomalies Signals
RAND ANOM I, CHEAT I, RAND ANOM II, CHEAT II. The Random
Anomalies signals are square waves that have occasional glitches,
short pulses and other signal changes inserted at random intervals.
T wo channels are provided for demonstrating two channel anomaly
detection (see Figures 2–8 and 2–9).
Figure 2–8: Random Anomaly with cheat signal
Figure 2–9: Dual Channel Random Anomalies
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
2–9
Operating Basics
RESET ANOM
RESET ANOM. This switch (S2830) changes the signal output
frequency and amplitude in a random fashion. The number of
glitches per second is also varied by the RESET ANOM switch. The
amplitude will be a value between 2.7 and 3.2 volts and the
frequency will vary between 180 kHz and 320 kHz. The dual random
anomaly outputs can be synchronized or unsynchronized by
continuing to depress the RESET ANOM switch.
2–10
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Operating Basics
Phase Locked VCO Output Signals
PLL VCO OUTPUT. This voltage controlled oscillator output signal
(J2410) provides a 2.5 volt (peak to peak) signal that is either
85 MHz or 68 MHz. For example, the peak-to-peak voltage is
approximately 3.1 V when oscilloscope channel has 1MW of
resistance or 1.8 V peak-to-peak when the oscilloscope channel has a
resistance of 50 W.
VCO TUNING VOLTAGE. This voltage signal drives the VCO. Phase
locked loop parameters determine how fast the VCO frequency will
change to a new programmed value.
The PLL VCO and VCO TUNING (J2520) signals are useful for
demonstrating the effect of different resolutions when comparing a
high frequency envelope of a signal to a slowly varying control
signal. This is demonstrated in Figures 2–10 and 2–11.

VCO MODE SELECT. This signal modifies the VCO output according
to T able 1–1 on page 1–3. Switches 3 and 4 of S2810 (a DIP switch)
allow selection of several modes of operation.

QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Operating Basics
RF Modulation
You can obtain a modulated RF signal by connecting a probe to J1
located near the SMA connector (see page 2–8). The waveform has
an amplitude that modulates between 40 and 80 mV when viewing
the individual waveforms while the frequency modulation can be
seen with a more compressed time scale.
Figure 2–12: Modulated RF display
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
2–13
Operating Basics
Pseudo Random Anomalies Signals
A five pin connector is included in the center of the board (J13) that
generates four random digital signals and a clock. These signals are
useful for demonstrating boolean trigger, state trigger, and other
kinds of triggers (see Figure 2–13).

Universal Serial Bus
USB DATA. USB signals from the host computer are available from J2
(see Figure 2–14). This testpoint will generate signals only when the
USB cable is used to power the board. It is also necessary to connect
a device such as a mouse to the USB output connector on the
QuickStart8 board.
Figure 2–14: USB signals

Operating Basics
Simulated Ground Bounce Signal An unexpected positive transition on channel 1 (J14, pin 1) is
generated whenever the signal on channel two (J14, pin 2) transitions
from positive to negative. This positive transition occurs at intervals
of 0.1 seconds to several seconds (see Figure 2–15).

Care and Maintenance
The QuickStart8 board does not require scheduled or periodic
maintenance. However, to keep good electrical contact and efficient
heat dissipation, keep the board free of dirt, dust, and contaminants.
When not in use, store the QuickStart8 board in the original shipping
bag.
Cleaning. Clean dirt and dust with a soft bristle brush. For more
extensive cleaning, use only a damp cloth moistened with deionized
water; do not use any other chemical cleaning agents.
Preventing Electrostatic Discharge. When handling the QuickStart8
board, adhere to the following precautions to avoid damaging
electronic components.
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage semiconductor components
on the QuickStart8 board.
1. Minimize handling of the board by touching only the edges.
2. Transport and store the board in the static-protected container.
3. Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a
grounded antistatic wrist strap while handling the training board.
4. Do not place anything capable of generating or holding a static
charge on the work station surface.

Appendix B: Instrucment Care
Shipping the QuickStart8 board.
T o commercially transport the QuickStart board or transformer,
package the board or transformer as follows:
1. Obtain a corrugated card board shipping carton with inside
dimensions at least six inches greater than the board or
transformer dimensions and with a carton test strength of at least
889.6 Newton Lbs/200 pounds.
2. If you are shipping the package to a T ektronix service center for
Warranty service, attach a tag to the board or transformer
showing the following:
H Owner’s name and address
H Name of a person who can be contacted
H Board or transformer type and serial number
H Description of the problem
3. Place the board in an antistatic bag to protect static-sensitive
components.
B–2
4. Tightly pack dunnage or urethane foam between the carton and
the board or transformer (allowing 7.62 cm/three inches on each
side) to cushion the board or transformer on all sides.
