Product Description

This section presents information you need to set up your waveform monitor and
to check that it is functional. This section contains the following information:

 Product Description gives an overview of the product capabilities.
 Accessories lists the standard and optional accessories.
 Installation describes how to set up the waveform monitor for use.
 Functional Check gives a procedure to verify the primary functions of your

waveform monitor.

The waveform monitors measure and display 4:2:2 component serial digital
signals. A waveform monitor displays serial digital signals as the familiar
component signals, as an Eye pattern, as digital data or in a variety of standard
measurement modes. Use the EDH (Error Detection and Handling) system and
the suite of automated checks of the serial digital format to verify data integrity.
Refer to Appendix A: Specifications for details of the waveform monitor
performance.

Features

The waveform monitors offers the following features:

 Two 270 Mbit serial component loop-through inputs
 Digital video standards SMPTE 259M, ITU-R BT.656, and ITU–R BT.601
 RGB and Y-P
 Eye Pattern display with Timing and Voltage Cursors on the WFM 601E and

An expanded feature set is available through the menus. You select menu items
with multi-use bezel buttons and knobs. When you select a menu item, such as
Voltage Cursors, on-screen labels show the current function of the bezel buttons
and knobs.

The waveform monitors provide an internal calibrator signal to set both vertical
and horizontal gain. The calibrator signal is a 700 mV, 100 kHz signal. Press the
CONFIG button and use the bezel knob to select the Calibrate menu. Press the
CAL SIG button to turn on the calibrator signal.

The waveform monitor is shipped with several standard accessories. These
standard accessories and any optional accessories are listed here.

Installation

Included Accessories

Hardware Installation

This section provides instructions for installing the waveform monitor into a
standard rack or one of the optional cases. At installation time, save the shipping
carton and packing materials (including the anti-static bag) in case you need to
ship the instrument.

The waveform monitor is shipped with several accessory items which may be
required for normal use. For more information on accessories, refer to page 1–2.

Because operating environments vary, the waveform monitor is not shipped with
a cabinet unless you have ordered one. All qualification testing for the waveform
monitor was performed in a 1700F00 cabinet. To guarantee compliance with
specifications, you should operate the waveform monitor in one of the cabinets
described here.

Cabinets

The cabinets offered for the waveform monitor provide EMI shielding, protect
against electrical shock, and protect against the accumulation of dust. Figure 1–1
shows the plain cabinet, option 1700F00. A rear panel fan supplies filtered,
cooling air which exits through the cabinet vent holes. Restricting the air flow
through the vents or the rear fan can lead to an excessive internal temperature.

NOTE. To meet EMI emission specifications, the waveform monitor must be
installed in a Tektronix 1700F00, 1700F02, or 1700F05 enclosure. The enclosure
front edges must securely contact the conductive front bezel on all four sides.

Installation

Installing the Waveform

Monitor in a Cabinet

Secure the waveform monitor in a cabinet using two 6-32 Pozidriver screws.
Figure 1–3 shows the location of these screws on the rear panel.

CAUTION. Do not carry a waveform monitor in a cabinet without installing the
rear panel mounting screws. Without the mounting screws, there is nothing to
keep the waveform monitor in its cabinet.

Installation

Rack Adapter

The optional 1700F05 side-by-side rack adapter, shown in Figure 1–4, consists of
two attached cabinets. Use it to mount the waveform monitor and another
half-rack width instrument, such as an analog component monitor, in a standard
19-inch rack.

You can adjust the rack adapter so that the waveform monitor is aligned with
other equipment in the rack. See Figure 1–4.

Installation

If you are using only one side of the rack adapter, insert a blank panel (1700F06)
or an accessory drawer (1700F07) in the unused section to improve airflow and
appearance. Figure 1–5 shows the blank panel and drawer.

To ship the waveform monitor to a Tektronix Service Center for service, follow
these instructions:

1. Attach a tag to the waveform monitor showing the name of the owner, the

complete address, the phone number, the instrument serial number and a
description of the required service.

2. Repackage the instrument in the original packaging materials. If the original

packaging materials are not available, follow these instructions:
a. Obtain a carton of corrugated cardboard having inside dimensions at

least six inches greater than the dimensions of the instrument. Use a
shipping carton that has a test strength of at least 275 pounds.

b. Surround the instrument with a protective bag (anti-static preferred). For

instruments that are not in a cabinet, wrap a cardboard piece around the
bagged instrument to protect internal components.

c. Pack dunnage or urethane foam between the instrument and the carton. If

using Styrofoam kernels, overfill the box and compress when closing the
lid. You need three inches of cushioning on all sides of the instrument.

3. Seal the carton with shipping tape or industrial staples.

The waveform monitor operates from a single-phase power source with the
neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for
over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding
conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

WARNING. When power is supplied, line voltage will be present in the waveform
monitor, even if the POWER switch is set to STANDBY

.

AC Power Requirements

The waveform monitor operates from an AC line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, over
the range of 90–250 Volts, without the need for configuration, except the power
cord. Refer to page 1–2 for the power cord options. The typical power draw is
75 W. Refer to Appendix A: Specifications for additional information on power
and environmental requirements.

Installing the Waveform Monitor in a Serial Video System

The serial digital monitor can operate almost anywhere in the distribution system
due to its high impedance, bridging, loop-through inputs. This section describes
two types of connections and presents useful information on line termination.

Most serial equipment employs a receiver that regenerates an output signal, such
as the receiver shown in Figure 1–6. Routing the incoming serial signal through
one of the waveform monitor loop-though inputs and connecting the output of
the serial receiver to the other loop-through input allows you to compare the
incoming signal and the regenerated output signal.
