Preface
About This Manual
This manual describes the capabilities of the TVS600 Series Waveform
Analyzers and how to use them in a programming environment. The TVS600
Series Waveform Analyzers, also referred to as the waveform analyzer, are
controlled through the use of SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable
Instruments) derived commands and IEEE 488.2 Common Commands. This
manual describes how to use these commands to configure the waveform
analyzer and access information generated by it or stored within it.
This manual is composed of the following sections:
H Getting Started shows you how to configure and install your waveform
analyzer and provides an Incoming Inspection procedure.
H Operating Basics describes the front panel connectors, provides a functional
overview of product functions and presents a Tutorial on programming the
waveform analyzer.

You must configure the VXIbus module and the VXIbus mainframe before
installing the module. To configure the waveform analyzer, set its logical address
on the VXIbus. To configure your VXIbus mainframe, you set the Bus Grant and
Interrupt Acknowledge jumpers. This section describes how to perform the
necessary configuration.
Setting the Logical
Address
Every module within a VXIbus system must have a unique logical address; no
two modules can have the same address. On the waveform analyzer, you rotate
two switches on the rear panel to select the logical address. Refer to Figure 1–1
for the switch locations. You can select a static address or Dynamic Auto
Configuration. The default address is FF hexadecimal, which selects Dynamic
Auto Configuration.

Figure 1–1: Logical Address Switches
Static Logical Address Static logical address selections set the address to a fixed
value. The range for static addresses is from 01 to FE hexadecimal (1 to 254
decimal). A static logical address ensures that the waveform analyzer address
remains fixed for compatibility with systems that require a specific address
value. Remember that each device within your system must have a unique
address to avoid communication problems. The factory default address is
FF hexadecimal, which selects Dynamic Auto Configuration.
Dynamic Auto Configuration. With Dynamic Auto Configuration selected
(hexadecimal FF or decimal 255), the system resource manager automatically
sets the address to the next available value in your system. For example, if you
already have devices set to addresses 01 and 02, the resource manager might
automatically assign address 03 to the waveform analyzer at power on.

Configuring the VXIbus
Mainframe
This section describes how to install the waveform analyzer into a Tektronix
VXIbus mainframe. If you are installing the waveform analyzer into a different
mainframe, refer to the instruction manual for that mainframe for any pertinent
installation or capacity information.
V oltage, Current, and Cooling Requirements. You will find voltage, current, and
cooling requirements for the waveform analyzer in Appendix A, Specifications at
the following locations:
H Voltage and current requirements, see Table A–7 on page A–12
H Cooling requirements, see Table A–8 on page A–12
These requirements also appear on the left cover of the waveform analyzer. Be
sure your mainframe can supply adequate current and cooling to the waveform
analyzer and the other modules you plan to install into the same mainframe.
WARNING. Shock hazards exist due to high currents within the mainframe
compartment. Do not change configuration of the Bus Grant and Interrupt
Acknowledge jumpers unless you are qualified to do so. Consult your VXI
mainframe manual for safety warnings and configuration information.
Jumper Settings. Many VXIbus mainframes contain daisy-chain jumper straps
that you must configure before installing the waveform analyzer. The jumper
straps, located beside the P1 connectors, set up the Bus Grant (BG0-BG3) and
Interrupt Acknowledge (IACK) signals. If you are using a Tektronix mainframe,
the names of the jumper straps (BG0-BG3 and IACK) are often printed on the
circuit board facing the front of the mainframe. Access these jumpers from the
front of the mainframe.
Some VXIbus mainframes, such as the Tektronix VX1410 Intelliframe, have
an auto-configurable backplane with no mechanical jumpers. You do not need to
set jumpers on these VXIbus mainframes.
If your VXIbus mainframe has jumper straps, set the IACK and BG0–BG3
jumpers for the waveform analyzer as shown below:
H Remove the jumper straps for the left-most slot in which you will install the
waveform analyzer (retain the strap for future configurations).
H Keep the jumpers for the right-most slot installed in the mainframe.
For example, if you want to install the waveform analyzer into the third and
fourth mainframe slots, remove all jumper straps for the third slot and install
them into the fourth slot.

Installation
Getting Started
This section describes how to install the waveform analyzer into a VXIbus
mainframe and how to install the product software. For hardware configuration
information refer to Configuration on page 1–2.
Hardware Installation
You may install the waveform analyzer into any empty slot in the mainframe
except Slot 0. Be sure to set the logical address before installation (see Setting
the Logical Address on page 1–3).
CAUTION. If you install the waveform analyzer into a D-size mainframe, be sure
to connect the P1 and P2 connectors of the module to the P1 and P2 connectors
on the mainframe. Electrical damage will result when connecting the P1 and P2
connectors on the module to the P2 and P3 connectors on the mainframe.
To avoid damage, look for bent pins on P1 and P2 before installation.
Use the following installation procedure and Figure 1–2 to install the waveform
analyzer into the mainframe:
1. On the mainframe, set the power ON/STANDBY switch to OFF.
2. Insert the waveform analyzer into the mainframe top and bottom module
guides and push it partially into the mainframe (Figure 1–2). Then slide the
waveform analyzer into the mainframe as far as it will go without forcing it.
3. Be sure the front panel is flush with the front of the mainframe chassis. If so,
use a flat-blade screwdriver to install the top and bottom retainer screws.
Alternately tighten the screws, applying only a few turns at a time to fully
seat the module. If it is not flat, remove the module and check for mechanical problems with the VXIbus connector or the module enclosure.

Removal from VXIbus
Mainframe
Use the following procedure to remove the waveform analyzer from a Tektronix
VXIbus mainframe. If you are using a different mainframe, you may need to
modify this procedure. Refer to your mainframe manual for instructions.
1. On the mainframe, set the power ON/STANDBY switch to OFF.
2. Using a flat-blade screwdriver, loosen the top and bottom retainer screws
(Figure 1–2).
3. Grasp both handles of the waveform analyzer. At the same time, move the
top handle upward and the bottom handle downward to eject the waveform
analyzer.
4. Pull the waveform analyzer out of the mainframe.

Power-On Procedure
This section describes how to check that your waveform analyzer powers up
properly. Be certain that the waveform analyzer is properly configured before
applying power. Refer to Configuration on page 1–2.
1. Before applying power to your waveform analyzer and VXIbus system,
check the following items:
H Ensure that all VXIbus modules are properly installed.
H Check that all connected signal sources are set to an appropriate output
level to avoid damaging inputs on your waveform analyzer.
H Power up your controller, if it is external to the VXIbus mainframe.
2. Apply power to your VXIbus mainframe.
During power on, the waveform analyzer performs a self test to verify
functionality. The self test requires approximately five seconds to complete.
The front-panel ARM’D and TRIG’D indicators blink during the self test.
After testing successfully completes, the front panel READY indicator
should be on (green when lit).
NOTE. The READY indicator does not light if the power-on self test fails.
If your waveform analyzer does not pass the power on self test (READY
indicator does not light), power off the VXIbus mainframe and check that all
modules are fully seated in the VXIbus mainframe. If the problem persists,
remove the waveform analyzer and check that its address setting does not
conflict with another module. If failures continue, the module might require
service.
3. Once the power-on self tests are complete, the waveform analyzer recalls the
settings that were active when the waveform analyzer was powered off.
There is one exception: input protection is set ON, its reset value. Power-on
settings are stored in nonvolatile memory.
Most parameters have a default value that you can restore by sending the
command.
