Theory of Operation This chapter describes the electrical operation of the oscilloscope to the module level. The following figure shows the oscilloscope module interconnections. Block Diagram Figure 2-1: Oscilloscope module interconnections Power Supply The Power Supply board converts AC line voltage to +12 V and +6 V to power all internal circuits.
The Power Converter receives the +12 V and +6 V from the main power supply and generates voltages for the analog and digital circuitry on the Main board. Digital Channels The MSO3000 series main board also includes threshold DACs and comparators for the digital channels. 2–2...
Theory of Operation Front-Panel Board The Front Panel board contains a microprocessor that reads the front-panel buttons and controls, and then sends this information to the processor system on the Main board. The Front Panel board also generates the probe compensation output signal and provides an interface to the application modules.

Fluke or Wavetek 9500 Oscilloscope Calibrator with one 9510 Output Module 50 Ω BNC cable BNC male to BNC male, about 10 in (25 cm.) Tektronix part number 012-0208-00 long Adjustment tool Non-conducting shaft with diameter = 0.1 in. Tektronix part number 003-1433-00 (= 2.5 mm)
Adjustment Procedures The factory adjustment procedure consists of a series of steps; as you move through these steps, the oscilloscope display provides instructions that describe the specific input signal requirements for each step. If the oscilloscope passes the step, it moves on to the next step. If the oscilloscope fails, you can repeat the step or choose to abort the procedure.
Adjustment Procedures 3. Power on the oscilloscope calibrator and warm it up for 30 minutes. 4. Connect the active heads from the calibrator to the oscilloscope, ensuring that Channel 1 on the calibrator connects to Channel 1 on the oscilloscope, and so on.
Adjustment Procedures Figure 3-2: Utility page menu 10. Use the Multipurpose a knob to select Calibration. Figure 3-3: Calibration selection 11. Push the Factory lower-bezel button. The information dialog appears. 3–4 MSO3000 and DPO3000 Series Digital Phosphor Oscilloscopes Service Manual...
Adjustment Procedures Figure 3-4: Factory information dialog 12. Push the OK Do Factory Adjustment side-bezel button to start the adjustment process. Prompts appear on the oscilloscope screen to indicate the signal type and the channels to which it should be connected. NOTE.
Adjustment Procedures NOTE. The oscilloscope screen will not provide you with all of the information that you need to complete the steps successfully, so it is critical that you follow the steps outlined in the Completing the Procedure section. Each time a new prompt appears, refer to the table above to identify the signal type, and then ensure that you are following every step that is outlined for that specific signal type.
Page 33
Adjustment Procedures For 0 V: ground the signal by pushing the grounding lower-bezel button. When this is active, you will not be able to make a channel selection, so in some cases you might need to temporarily deselect the grounding option while you make a channel selection. If the prompt requires all channels and the signal is grounded, The calibrator screen will default to Channel 1.
5. On the oscilloscope, push the OK Do Next Step right-bezel button. Deskew (MSO Only) If you are using the MSO3000 Series oscilloscope, and you receive a prompt for a deskew test, complete the following steps: 1. Plug the probe, notch down, into the digital channel input, as shown in the following figure.
Page 35
Adjustment Procedures 2. Push the Aux front-panel button, and then push the Zero skew side-bezel button. 3. Set the specified voltage, frequency, and termination. 4. Push the CHANNEL SELECT button and ensure that all channels are selected, including Channel 5. 5.
Page 36
Adjustment Procedures Troubleshooting Refer to the following table for common issues encountered during the calibration procedure. Problem Things to try Are the channels hooked up properly, routed to the right channels, and turned on The instrument fails a test Is the signal set to the correct waveform, frequency, and termination (if applicable to the test) Is the output set to ON (the red light will be illuminated) If you make a correction or find that everything appears to be correct, click the Go back a step button to try the test again.
This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective maintenance on the oscilloscope, as well as repackaging instructions if you need to return the oscilloscope to Tektronix for service. Preventing ESD Before servicing this product, read the Safety Summary and Introduction at the front of the manual and the electrostatic discharge (ESD) information below.
Page 40
Maintenance How often you do maintenance depends on the severity of the environment in which the oscilloscope is used. A proper time to perform preventive maintenance is just before oscilloscope adjustment. General Care The cabinet helps keep dust out of the oscilloscope and should normally be in place when operating the oscilloscope.
Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix Service Center or representative. Lubrication. There is no periodic lubrication required for this oscilloscope.
Maintenance CAUTION. To prevent damage from electrical arcing, ensure that circuit boards and components are dry before applying power to the oscilloscope. Table 4-2: Internal inspection check list Item Inspect for Repair action Repair action Circuit boards Loose, broken, or corroded Remove and replace solder connections.
Maintenance 1. Gain access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible shields and panels (see Removal Procedures). 2. Spray wash dirty parts with the isopropyl alcohol and wait 60 seconds for the majority of the alcohol to evaporate. 3.
Maintenance List of Modules The Replaceable Parts List chapter provides a list of all replaceable modules. Any replaceable component, assembly, or part is referred to as a module. WARNING. Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Before doing this or any other procedure in this manual, read the General Safety Summary and Service Safety Summary located at the beginning of this manual.
