Installation

Your instrument is shipped in a wrap-around chassis that covers the instrument bottom and two sides. A cover is installed on the chassis and the rear panel is made up of the module rear panels. You can operate the instrument in the chassis (be sure the top cover is on) or installed in an approved portable cabinet or rack adapter. You can also custom install your instrument.

To install your instrument in a cabinet or rack, follow the instructions that are included with the optional accessory kits that are available for each type of installation.

CAUTION. Do not install this instrument in any cabinet except those that are listed in the Accessories table. Attempting to

do so can damage the instrument and the cabinet.

If you install your instrument in a custom application, such as a console, be sure to provide adequate airﬂow. Do not block the ventilating holes.

CAUTION. Failure to provide adequate airﬂow to the instrument could cause the instrument to shut down. If the airﬂow is

blocked and the instrument does not shut down, the instrument could be seriously damaged.

Installation

Before Installation

Unpack the instrument and check that you have received all of the items listed as standard accessories. You may want to save the shipping carton and packing materials (including the anti-static bag) in case you need to ship the instrument.

Accessories

The table below shows which items are standard accessories and which items are optional accessories. Check the Tektronix Web site (www.tektronix.com) for the most current information on accessories.

This instr conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.

AC Power Re

The instrument operates from an AC line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz, over the range of 100-240 Volts, without the need for conﬁguration, except the power cord. (See page 2, International Power Plugs.)

The typical power draw is 50 Watts for a base unit. Refer to the Speciﬁcations and Performance Veriﬁcation document for additional information on power and environmental requirements.

Connect the supplied power cord to the rear-panel power connector. The instrument will turn on as soon as you apply power. Press the Standby power button on the front panel to put the instrument in standby mode.

Installing the Monitor in a Video System

The instrument can operate almost anywhere in the distribution system. The following diagrams for serial digital systems and for the analog composite inputs.

To install for monitoring the video bit stream of a serial receiver:

1. Route the incoming serial signal into one

of the instrument SDI inputs.

NOTE. See the Speciﬁcations in the

Instrument Display

This instrument uses FlexVu™, which is a ﬂexible, four-tiled display that can show four tiles at one time or a single, full-screen sized tile. Each tile can display a different measurement, effectively creating four independent instruments. In order to allow the tiles to function independently, most of the controls affect only one tile at a time.

1. To switch to tiled mode, toggle the FULL

button until it is unlit and there are four displays shown.

2. To select a tile to control, push one of the

numbered tile buttons.

Note that the button you select lights and that a light-blue outline surrounds the tile. Both the lit button and the light-blue outline indicate the active, selected tile. Tile 4 is shown selected here.

Scope of Controls

Some controls are global and affect all tiles, while other controls only affect the active tile. Generally speaking, if a control is conﬁgured by front-panel buttons or by a pop-up menu, it is tile speciﬁc. (Exceptions are the Input buttons, and all audio features, both of which are global.) If control is conﬁgured by the CONFIG menu, selections are usually global.
