Preventing Electrostatic Discharge
CAUTION. Static discharge can damage internal semiconductor components.
Follow the guidelines listed below to avoid product damage.
When performing service that requires internal access to an instrument, adhere to
the following precautions to avoid damaging internal modules or their components:
H Avoid handling modules or components in areas that have floors or work
surfaces capable of generating a static charge.
H Spray carpeted work areas with a solution of equal parts of water and fabric
softener.
H Wear clothing made from materials that do not accumulate static charges.
Wool (and some artificial fibers) build up static charges readily; cotton
conducts electricity and resists static accumulation.
H Minimize the handling of static-sensitive devices.
H Transport and store static-sensitive devices in their protected containers or on
a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive parts.
H Service instruments and modules at grounded static-free work stations.
H Do not allow any device capable of generating a static charge on work
station surfaces.
H Wear a grounding wrist strap while working with static-sensitive devices.
H Handle circuit boards by their edges, if possible.
H Do not slide static-sensitive components over any surface.
H Do not use high-velocity compressed air to clean or dry components or
modules.

Introduction
This manual contains instructions for testing the performance and adjustment of
the following instruments:
H TLA600 Series Logic Analyzers
H TLA714 Portable Mainframe
H TLA720 Benchtop Chassis
H TLA720 Benchtop Controller
H TLA7Lx, TLA7Mx, TLA7Nx, TLA7Px, and TLA7Qx Logic Analyzer
Modules
H Logic analyzer probes (tested with the associated logic analyzer)
H Logic Analyzer Module adjustment/verification fixture
H TLA7Dx and TLA7Ex Digitizing Oscilloscope Module
H TLA7PG2 Pattern Generator Modules
H Pattern generator probes (tested with the associated pattern generator
module)
Four levels of testing are provided:
H Functional verification procedures
H Performance verification procedures
H Certification test procedures and Calibration Data Reports
H Adjustment procedures
Not all of the components of the Tektronix Logic Analyzer Family require all
four levels of testing. Table 1–1 on page 1–2 lists the components of the logic
analyzer family and the levels of testing described in this manual.
Certain instruments, such as the Termination Board (used with pattern generator
modules), do not require any testing or certification.
Table 1–2 lists the typical order of procedures needed for verifying the performance and adjustment of the instruments. These procedures assume that you are
familiar with operating the instruments.

Functional Verification Procedures
Functional verification procedures verify the basic functionality of the instrument inputs, outputs, and basic instrument actions. These procedures include
power-on and extended diagnostics, self calibration, as well as semi-automated
or manual check procedures. These procedures can be used for incoming
inspection purposes.
Certification Test Procedures
Certification procedures are used to certify the accuracy of an instrument and
provide a traceability path to national standards. Certification data is recorded on
Calibration Data Reports provided with this manual. Calibration Data Reports
are produced for the TLA600 Logic Analyzers, LA modules, and DSO modules
as an output from the PV/Adjust software.
Introduction
Performance V erification Procedures
Performance verification procedures confirm that a product meets or exceeds the
performance requirements for the published specifications documented in the
Tektronix Logic Analyzer Family User Manual. Refer to Figure 1–1 on
page 1–4 for a graphic overview of the procedures.
Adjustment Procedures
Adjustment procedures check for and, if necessary, correct any adjustment errors
discovered when performing functional or performance verification procedures.
The adjustment procedures documented in this manual are controlled by
software, except for the procedures for the adjustment/verification fixture.
Some procedures require user intervention to move probes or change test
equipment settings. The adjustment software is part of the self-calibration
routines in the logic analyzer application software and the PV/Adjust software
provided with the product CD-ROM.

Introduction
Software Installation and Removal Instructions
These procedures describe loading and unloading the PV/Adjust software. It is
recommended you have ≥10 MB of free space on the hard drive before installing
the software. The Performance Verification software is located on Disc 1 of the
Tektronix Logic Analyzer Family Application Software CD.
NOTE. This installation program uses parameters you supply to create a custom
start-up file in your hard disk directory.
The batch file enables the software to configure your instrument properly before
it runs the program.
1. Power on the instrument.
2. Exit the Application.
Verify PV/Adjust Software
Version
Verify Directories
If your logic analyzer already has PV/Adjust software loaded on it, you must
verify that the version is the same as the version printed on Disc 1 of the
Tektronix Logic Analyzer Family Application Software CD.
If the version of the PV/Adjust software loaded on your logic analyzer is an
earlier version, you must delete the earlier version before you can load the newer
version.
If your logic analyzer already has a directory named Tekcats or Temptek on the
hard drive, the software installation cannot be completed. Follow these instructions to verify the directory is not present:
1. Select Start → Programs → Windows Explorer.
2. From the Exploring window select Tools → Find → Files or Folders.
3. Select the Name & Location tab, and search for the following directories:
H Tekcats
H Temptek
4. If either directory is found follow the instructions under Removing the
Software beginning on page 1–9 to remove the software and the directories.
