Speciﬁcations

The following tables list the speciﬁcations for the Tektronix WFM6120, WFM7020, and WFM7120 Waveform Monitors. Items listed in the Performance Requirement

column are generally quantitative and can be tested by the Performance Veriﬁcation procedure in Section 2 of this manual. Items listed in the Reference Information column are useful operating parameters that have typical values; information in this column is not guaranteed.

The speciﬁcations listed in the Electrical Speciﬁcations portion of these tables apply over an ambient temperature range of +0 °C to +40 °C. The rated accuracies are valid when the instrument is calibrated in an ambient temperature range of +20 °C to +30 °C.

Characteristic Performance requirement Reference information

Timing Display Zero Deﬁnition For vertical timing, conforms to SMPTE

168-2002

For horizontal timing, zero delay analog signals have coincident syncs. For digital signals, timing is such that if converted to analog by a WFM601A, then the resultant analog signal is conincident with the reference

Timing zero is equivalent to nominal zero delay on TG700. Also agrees with signal that shows minimal shift on the waveform display when going from internal to external

Vertical timing, according to SMPTE 168, speciﬁes that the lines with the start of the broad pulses are aligned

Operation with input and reference being different formats

Input Timing Reference to Other Input

Compatible with any combination of frame abd ﬁeld rates. (See Table 45.)(See Table 46.)(See Table 47.)l. In cases where there are multiple ways to interpret the phase relationship, multiple indicators of the phase will be shown. The numeric display will follow the smallest phase offset

The Phase Correlation Meter Speed setting determines how quickly the meter reacts to changes in phase relationship. The meter reading is actually an average of correlation over time, and this setting determines how many samples are used to calculate the average. The instrument uses the fewest samples when this setting is 1, and the meter reacts almost instantaneously. The instrument uses the most samples when the setting is 20, and the meter reacts much more slowly. Experiment to ﬁnd the setting that best ﬁts your application

Incoming Inspection

This section contains functional/operational checks appropriate to an incoming inspection.

The waveform monitor must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperature. (See Table 44 on page 35.)

Use the following procedures to check the basic functionality of WFM6120, WFM7020, a model and option so that you can choose the sections that are appropriate for your instrument. The last two sections are for less critical waveform monitor features: the ground closure and Ethernet ports. You need only test these if you intend to use them. In general, you should test in the order presented, since later tests might depend on items checked in the earlier tests.

Basic Turn On and Self

Test

1. ConnectanXGAmonitortotheEXT DISPLAY connector on the rear of the waveform monitor.

2. Connect the AC line cord to the rear of the instrument and to a 100 to 240 VAC source. There is no power switch on the waveform monitor, so the instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power.

3. Look at the front panel immediately after you apply power. The MAG, LINE SEL,andCURSOR buttons should be lit. The other front-panel buttons

will light one at a time, in sequence. Verify that all buttons do light. The sequence will repeat until the Boot Loader process completes (approximately 30 seconds).

4. Record pass or fail in the test record for Front Panel LEDs.

5. After about 50 seconds, the power-on diagnostic page should appear on the

monitor.

6. Verify that all self tests pass. Any failures will be shown in red. The results of the power-on diagnostics are erased from the screen, but you can view the results by selecting CONFIG > Utilities > View Diagnostics Log > SEL.

7. After the diagnostics are ﬁnished, the instrument state is restored. When the progress indicator in the status bar is ﬁnished, the instrument has ﬁnished initializing.

NOTE. While in Simultaneous Input mode, certain displays can be displayed

either on the left or on the right, but not both at the same time.

NOTE. This test exercises the ability to simultaneously display signals from

two inputs. The two input signals may be of any type and format supported by installed options (HD, CPS, DL). This procedure assumes Option HD is installed. If Option HD is not installed, then any supported signal type may be used in its place with similar results.

1. Set up a signal generator with an HDVG1 module and a DVG1 module. Connect an output from the HDVG1 module to the SDI A input of the instrument under test.

2. Connect an output from the DVG1 module to the SDI B input of the instrument under test.
