Theory of Operation This chapter describes the electrical operation of the oscilloscope to the module level. The block diagrams show four-channel and two-channel oscilloscope module interconnections. (See Figure 1 on page 5.) (See Figure 2 on page 6.) Power Supply The Power Supply board converts AC line voltage to +12 V to power for all internal circuits.
Theory of Operation Power Converter The Power Converter receives +12 V power and +5 V standby power from the main power supply and generates voltages for the analog and digital circuitry on the Main board. The front panel receives the +5 V standby power, and uses input from the power switch to turn the oscilloscope on and off.

Specifications and Performance Verification Technical Reference manual, which was provided with your product. This manual is also available at www.tektronix.com/manuals.) Before performing the adjustment procedure, you must warm up the oscilloscope and the oscilloscope calibrator for at least 30 minutes in an ambient temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C.
Adjustment Procedure Connecting the Equipment Connect the Oscilloscope Connect the oscilloscope and the calibrator to the same AC power circuit. Using a common power strip will accomplish this. and the Calibrator to AC Power NOTE. Connecting the equipment to separate AC power circuits can result in offset voltages between the equipment, which can invalidate this procedure.
Adjustment Procedure Factory Adjustment Procedure NOTE. Changing oscilloscope settings will abort the adjustment procedure. Do not turn any knobs or push any oscilloscope buttons except those used to navigate the procedure. To perform the factory adjustment procedure, complete these steps: 1.
Page 23
Adjustment Procedure d. In the utility page menu, select Calibration by turning the Multipurpose a knob. e. Push the Factory lower-bezel button. Note the important information that is displayed in the factory dialog box. g. Push the OK Do Factory Calibration side-bezel button to start the adjustment process.
Page 24
If a step fails twice, return to the first step in the adjustment procedure and try the entire procedure again. If the procedure still fails, it could indicate a problem with the oscilloscope. Contact Tektronix for technical support (see the contact information at the beginning of this manual).
Adjustment Procedure Setting the Calibrator Output Signal This section tells how to set the calibrator for the DC Voltage, Time Mark, Deskew and Sine signals that are required by the adjustment procedure. DC Voltages Use one of the following three methods to set the DC voltage: to 0 V, to any voltage into 1 MΩ...
Page 26
Adjustment Procedure For voltages >5.5 V into 50 Ω. Complete these steps to set the calibrator output for a DC Voltage signal >5.5 V into 50 Ω (for example, to select 6 V or -6 V in 50 Ω mode): 1.
Page 27
Adjustment Procedure 3. Verify that the calibrator is in direct mode by pushing the lower-bezel button until 1.0 is selected. 4. Set the calibrator amplitude as follows: a. Select the Amplitude field using the front-panel tab key b. Set the voltage specified by the oscilloscope prompt. 5.
Page 28
Adjustment Procedure Deskew Complete these steps to set the calibrator output for deskew. NOTE. If you are adjusting an MSO4000B Series, and the oscilloscope prompts you to connect the digital channels, connect the digital probe according to the instructions in Connecting the Equipment. (See page 9, Connecting the Equipment.) 1.

Adjustment Procedure Troubleshooting the Refer to the following table for solutions to problems that you might encounter during the calibration procedure. Adjustment Procedure Problem Possible solutions The instrument fails an adjustment step Are the channels hooked up properly? Is the signal being sent to the correct channels? (Check for the green lights on the probe heads.) Is the signal set to the correct waveform,...

This section contains the information needed to do periodic and corrective maintenance on the oscilloscope, as well as repackaging instructions for returning the oscilloscope to Tektronix for service. Preventing ESD Before servicing this product, read the General Safety Summary and the Service Safety Summary at the front of the manual, and familiarize yourself with the following electrostatic discharge (ESD) information.
Page 32
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. Exterior Inspection Inspect the outside of the oscilloscope for damage, wear, and missing parts, using the following table as a guide.

Maintenance Table 2: Internal inspection checklist (cont.) Item Inspect for Repair action Resistors Burned, cracked, broken, blistered condition. Remove and replace damaged circuit board. Resolder joint and clean with isopropyl Solder connections Cold solder or rosin joints. alcohol. Remove and replace damaged circuit board. Capacitors Damaged or leaking cases.
Maintenance Module Removal WARNING. Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Before performing this or any other procedure in this manual, read the General Safety Summary and Service Safety Summary located at the beginning of this manual. Also, to prevent possible injury to service personnel or damage to electrical components, read Preventing ESD.
Maintenance To Remove Modules To remove any of the instrument modules or assemblies, you must first remove the rear cover and separate the front chassis from the rear chassis. To remove the Front Panel board assembly or the front panel case assembly, you must first remove the Main board assembly, the Analog board assembly, and the front chassis.
Maintenance Troubleshooting This section contains information and procedures to help you isolate a defective module in the MSO4000B Series and DPO4000B Series oscilloscopes. WARNING. Before performing this or any other procedure in this manual, read the General Safety Summary and Service Safety Summary found at the beginning of this manual, and, to prevent possible injury to service personnel or damage to electrical components, read Preventing ESD.
