The reference signal is applied to a sync separator whose output is supplied to the
DSP FPGA, where the timing information is derived. The reference signal is also
digitized for display as a waveform.
The data streams from the SDI video inputs are applied to the waveform
processing FPGA. This block deformats, up-samples, interpolates, and otherwise
processes the data to generate the signals needed to create the displays.
The rasterizer engine resides in the same DSP FPGA as the waveform processing
engine. This block builds up the variable intensity images in the fast static RAM.
For each pixel of the display, the rasterizer engine increments the intensity of that
pixel every time the waveform hits its coordinates. As a result, the w aveform
areas that are hit more frequently are brighter. For any given frame, the intensity
is built up in one memory chip and read out of the other. The functions

sent through the DVI connector to the external monitor.

1. Check the diagnostic log. This log records a v ariety of problems and will enable you to see
messages for an error that may not be currently happening.
2. Check the power supplies by performing the Diagnostic Monitor Voltage Checks. A marginal
supply can lead to intermittent operation if it is near the acceptable threshold. This includes the
external power source and the secondary supplies on each board.
3. Perform the incoming inspection tests. This will exercise a majority of the functions in the
unit and includes the Advanced Diagnostics. Some parts of the test may not be necessary
for all problem areas.

of power up, press button S1 on the SDI board. If S1 a lso has no effect, replace
the SDI board.
If S1 causes normal power up (indicated by lit red and green LEDs on the CPU
board), then the problem is in the connection from the front panel button to the
SDI board. Disconnect power, disassemble as necessary, and c heck for continuity

should only be performed if the unit fails to produce evidence of CPU boot up.
WAR NI NG . Internal power supplies are all low voltage so no safety shield is
present.
This instrument requires an external DC power source capable of providing 11 to
17 Vdc at 3A. The provided AC adapter accepts 90 to 264 VAC and outputs around
12 VDC with 4 A capability. This voltage passes through a power switch circuit
on the SDI board, and is present at the "+12V" test point if instrument power is on.
The switched +12V powers +5V and +3.3V switching power supplies, also
located on the SDI board. These three voltages a re the basic power supplies
distributed to the rest of the instrument.
Remove the Reference I/O and FPGA boards to gain access to the SDI board
power test points. Locate the +12V, +5V and +3.3V test points on the SDI board.
See Figure 2.) Measure the voltages with a DVM and check against the allowable
(
ranges. (See Table 5.) If the voltages are outside of the allowed range, replace the
SDI board. If voltages are within the allowed range, replace the CPU board.

continuously lit red. The power button is normally red for about 2 seconds when
the unit is first powered up. In addition, the power button may be red in the case
of any detected hardware fault. To isolate the symptom to a power supply fault, it
is necessary to view the fault LEDs on the SDI board.
Remove the top cover to gain viewing access to the SDI board fault LEDs DS2,
DS3, DS4 and DS5, located on the right edge of the SDI board. These are v isible
from above. Connect power and press and hold the power button. If none of the
four fault LEDs is red, then exit this procedure.
LEDs DS1, and DS3 indicate faults on the SDI board. If any one of them is red,
replace the SDI board. If either

For the next two steps, test by pressing SDI board switch S1 instead of the
(disconnected) front panel power button:
4. Front panel cable at CPU board J1 (remove SDI b oard to gain access, then
reinstall SDI board)
5. CPU board (remove SDI board from CPU and test SDI board in isolation)
If any SDI board fault LED DS1 through DS5 is red when the board is tested in
isolation, replace the SDI board.
The objective of this test is to determine whether CPU+FP+SDI is booting
correctly, in which case the missing external display is an FPGA board fault. If
CPU+FP+SDI is not booting to completion, the Basic Power Supply Fault Checks
decide whether the SDI or CPU+FP is at fault. The primary indicator is the front
panel behavior, which is presumed good based on single-fault assumption. Since
a good unit boots completely with the front panel disconnected, an initial and final
test are done to the front panel to guarantee that the front panel is not hanging boot.
This procedure requires disassembly, and should be performed only if some front
panel buttons light, but the external display is not functional.
Observe the sequence of front panel button illumination at power on. Normal
power up sequence has the following appearance. Time “T” is in seconds.
T=0 : press power button to power up

Initial button lighting sequence starts with <,^,>,V buttons on for about ½ second
each
T=3: All buttons flash for fraction of a second, then all go out out.
The button sequence changes to row-by-row starting with WFM row, then PICT
row, then GAMUT row, then repeating.
T=10 to 20: Power button may turn red.
T=20: Button sequence stops.
T= 28: Brief changes, then all buttons dim (per backlight setting).
T= 32: Previous power down state is restored to buttons. Usually two or three
become bright.
If the power up behavior is similar to that described, then the CPU is booting
correctly and the display fault is likely to be on the FPGA board. Replace the
FPGA board.
If the power up behavior differs from that described above, then perform the Basic
Power Supply Fault Checks to further isolate the faulty module.

Fan Checks
This instrument contains two fans: they are controlled by both hardware and
software. Hardware controls the fans to a certain speed, but software sets the
speed target as a function of the temperature measured on a variety of temperature
sensors.
If a fan fails, its corresponding LED lights up on the CPU board:
Fan 1 fails: LED DS3 lights
Fan 2 fails: LED DS2 lights
fan failure is sensed through tachometer feedback; a fault will be asserted if
A
the fan is not connected, is stalled, or if the tachometer feedback line is not
working correctly.
If one fan fails, the control circuit will increase the voltage to the 13.5 V max
level, causing the remaining fan to run at maximum speed.
The normal voltage to drive the fans (pin 1) varies from about 6 V to
13.5 V depending on internal temperature.
If a fan is not spinning, measure the voltage on pin 1 of the connector on that
fan. If the voltage is near 13 V, then replace the fan. If the voltage is not above
10 V, then replace the CPU board.

the SDI board.
Perform this test if the power supplies are good, but none of the buttons are lit
or respond to presses:
1. Cycle the power to the unit. Immediately after power on, three buttons
(GAIN, SWEEP, and MAG) should be lit continuously and the other buttons
should be lit one at a time in a walking pattern.
2. If the buttons are not lit, check the 10 pin cable from the keypad to the main
board J21. If the cable is connected and good, then replace the front panel
assembly.
