QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Getting Started
Getting Started
The QuickStart8 board produces signals specifically designed to
demonstrate the timing and voltage measurement capabilities of
T ektronix test and measurement oscilloscopes.
The board is especially useful for demonstration and training
purposes, since its uses output signals that incorporate imperfections
found in a testing environment.
This section includes the following information:
H Required materials
H Instructions for setting up and configuring the board
H Overview of the output signals
Required Materials
The QuickStart8 board comes with the following standard accessory:
H Instruction manual
You will need to supply the following items:
H A Tektronix general-purpose oscilloscope
H Choose one: P6139A 10X Passive probe, TCP 202 Current probe,
or Differential probe (P6246 or P6247)
H 50 Ω BNC cable with a BNC/SMA adapter

Getting Started
Prerequisites
The examples in this manual are based on the following prerequisites
and assumptions:
H You are familiar with the basics of taking timing and voltage
measurements
H That the oscilloscope and any accessories are properly set up (for
example, it is assumed that any oscilloscope probe that you
intend to use is properly calibrated)
Setting Up Your QuickStart8 Board
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage the board. To prevent static
damage, handle components only in a static-free environment.
Always wear a grounding wrist strap, heel strap, or similar device
while handling the board.
1. T o discharge any static electricity, touch the ground connector
located on the board. Then, before you remove the board from
the protective bag, touch the bag to discharge stored static
electricity.
1–2
2. Remove the QuickStart8 board from the bag and place the board
parts-side up on any flat surface.
3. Turn the board so that the rubber feet are placed on the work
surface.
4. Set the power switch, S2780, to off (see Figure 2–1 on page 2–4).
QuickStart8 DPO Demonstration Board
Configuring Your QuickStart8 Board
Configure the QuickStart8 board using the VCO Mode Select switch,
S2810. See Figure 2–1 on page 2–4 for the switch location. The
configuration you choose will determine the appearance of the
output signals at test pins J2410, J2520 and J1.
VCO MODE SELECT. Switch S2810 consists of four DIP switches,
labeled 1 through 4. DIP switches 1 and 2 are not used. DIP switches
3 and 4 of S2810 allow selection of several modes of operation.
T able 1–1 lists the VCO switch configurations and outputs.

Applying and Removing Power
Power Source. The QuickStart8 board can be powered directly from
the TDS 7000 Series oscilloscope using the USB (Universal Serial
Bus) port or from an optional transformer.
CAUTION. Connecting the QuickStart8 board incorrectly can damage
your keyboard (see Figure 1–1)
To power on the board using the USB port:
1. Connect the USB cable into the USB IN port on the board (see
Figure 1–1 and 2–1).
2. Plug the USB cable into the USB connector on back of the
TDS 7000 Series instrument.
3. Plug the keyboard cable into the USB OUT port on the board (see
Figure 1–1 and 2–1).
To power on the board using an optional wall transformer:
1–4
CAUTION. To prevent damage to the oscilloscope when using a wall
transformer, do not use the USB connector to attach between the
QuickStart8 board and oscilloscope.
1. Connect the power cord to the power jack on the board (see
Figure 2–1).
2. Plug the wall transformer into a wall socket.
NOTE. Use a wall transformer that is 9 volts or between 6 – 12 volts
at 5 watts. The outside diameter of the power-jack connector is
5.5 mm.
To remove power follow these steps:
1. Set the power switch (see Figure 2–1) to off.
2. Disconnect the power cord or the USB IN cable.
