Performance Verification Instrument Warmup Before performing these procedures, the following equipment must have been operating continuously for at least twenty (20) minutes in an environment that meets the operating range specifications for temperature and humidity: The H600 or SA2600 under test All test equipment Equipment Setup Setup the test equipment as follows:...
This section contains procedures to verify that the instrument platform is functioning properly. 1. Select Start > Programs > Tektronix Utilities > Diagnostics. 2. Tap the Diagnostics tab. 3. To view the test selections, tap the + symbol in front of All Modules, All Tests.
Performance Verification Test Results Reporting. The Diagnostics window contains columns and fields to report the results of each test. The Last Result column lists the Pass or Fail status of each test. The Fail Count column lists the number of times a test failed. The Loop Count field reports the number of times the test ran.
Page 26
Performance Verification Brightness Test Observe a full screen checker-board pattern that changes brightness. 1. Look for adequate brightness at each level. 2. Report a Pass or Fail when prompted. A Test failed is recorded in the Failure Log if the user does not enter a pass/fail response when prompted.
Page 27
Performance Verification Audio Test Check the external microphone and speaker operation. 1. Plug a microphone into the external microphone jack. 2. Select Audio Test; then select Run. 3. When prompted, speak into the microphone for approximately 5 seconds. The device will then automatically play back your message. 4.
Performance Verification Network Port Test Checks the Ethernet network port. Requires a network connection with a DHCP server. 1. Connect the NetTek Analyzer Platform RJ45 Ethernet port to a DHCP-enabled network server. 2. Select Network Port Test; then select Run. A Test failed is recorded in the Failure Log if the NetTek Analyzer cannot obtain an I.P.
Performance Verification USB Flash Memory Device Tests the USB port using a Flash Memory drive. Test NOTE. This test requires a USB Flash Memory Device inserted into the USB slot. If a Flash Memory Device is not installed when the test is initiated, the user is prompted to insert a Flash Memory Drive or fail the test.
Performance Verification Table 1-2: Test voltages and limits (cont.) Processor board Application module +3.4 Application module Application module This test reports a fail if the detected voltages exceed ±10% of their nominal values. Verify Performance Before continuing these procedures, warm up the instrument and all other test equipment for at least twenty (20) minutes in an environment that meets the operating range specifications for temperature and humidity.
Page 31
Performance Verification 4. Set the Signal Generator as follows: a. Reset the Signal Generator. b. Connect the Frequency Standard output to the frequency reference input of the Signal Generator marked REF. c. Set the Signal Generator lock to the external reference input. d.
Page 32
Performance Verification Check External Lock Time This test checks the lock time of the external frequency reference input. 1. Reset the H600 or SA2600 application: a. Select Tools > Factory Reset. b. Tap Reset All. 2. On the Signal Generator: a.
Page 33
Performance Verification 5. Set the Signal Generator as follows: a. Reset the Signal Generator. b. Set the frequency to 50 MHz. c. Set the output level to +5 dBm. 6. Push the ZERO button on the power meter. 7. Connect the power meter head to the barrel adapter. 8.
Page 34
Performance Verification 12. On the H600 or SA2600: a. Tap the Freq button to open the Meas Freq dialog and enter 50 MHz. b. If you don’t see the signal, tap on the Span: field right arrow button to increase the signal span. c.
Page 35
Performance Verification Check Phase Noise This test determines the phase noise of the H600 or SA2600 under test. The Signal Generator used in the test should have significantly less phase noise than the H600 or SA2600 under test. NOTE. The peak detector is used to measure narrowband signals such as the CW signal from the signal source and the average detector is used to measure wideband signals such as noise floor.
Page 36
Performance Verification 7. Tap the down arrow button next to the Marker-To button and select Marker to max peak. Then tap the down arrow button next to the Marker-To button again and select Marker to center freq to move the peak of the test signal to the center of the display.
Page 37
Performance Verification 17. Determine the noise floor levels: a. Turn off the signal generator. b. Tap the Reset display-control button (the X button located along the right side of the waveform plot) to reset the measurement, then wait until the instrument averages the 100 measurements.
Page 38
Performance Verification Check GPS function This test determines if the H600 or SA2600 built-in GPS functions properly. NOTE. The GPS antenna should be placed so that it has an unobstructed view of the sky. If the antenna is inside a building, it may not be able to locate any GPS signals due to signal attenuation caused by the building.
Page 39
Performance Verification Check Displayed Average This test checks the H600 or SA2600 DANL with 10 Hz RBW (resolution bandwidth). Noise Level (DANL) NOTE. The DANL measurement is a measure of average noise and does not include spurious signals. If the marker is placed on a spurious signal, it should be moved slightly to the left or right to avoid the spurious signal.
Page 40
Performance Verification Check Residual Spurs This test checks for residual spur signals with the preamp on. Because this is a manual test, it is simplified to look for gross defects instead of a more rigorous check. 1. Reset the H600 or SA2600 application: a.
Theory of Operation This section of the manual describes the theory of operation for the instrument platform. As the instrument module is not user-serviceable, there is no theory of operation for the module. Platform Refer to the following figure while reading this section. Display The color display is a TFT type transflective with backlight.
Page 44
Theory of Operation Touch Screen The 8-wire, 10.4 in, resistive touch-screen module provides a touch-based access to the graphical user interface. It functionally replaces a mouse for Windows navigation, substituting point and click with a touch. The touch screen has an anti-reflective coating that reduces glare when the platform is used outdoors.

Lithium-Ion batteries and achieve the maximum battery life span. Key Information Use only Tektronix-approved batteries in your Tektronix products. Do not leave batteries unused for extended periods of time, either in the product or in storage. When a battery has not been used for six months, check the charge status and charge or dispose of the battery as appropriate.
Page 83
Charging Always follow the charging instructions provided with your product. Refer to your product’s user manual and/or online help for detailed information about charging its battery. The latest version of your Tektronix product user manual is available at www.tektronix.com. NOTE.
Lithium-Ion Battery Maintenance Keep the battery away from children. Do not use a damaged battery. If a battery pack is leaking fluids, do not touch any fluids. Properly dispose of a leaking battery pack (see Disposal and Recycling in this document). WARNING.
Page 85
Lithium-Ion Battery Maintenance Battery aging and the increasing number of charge/discharge cycles causes the battery charge capacity to decrease, which in turn decreases the instrument run time. The instrument uses one battery at a time. The battery with the lowest remaining capacity is used first.
Page 86
Lithium-Ion Battery Maintenance the battery is not calibrated. See the Calibrating a Battery section in this document. 3. Tap the Properties button adjacent to a battery listing to show that battery’s Design Capacity, Serial Number and the Manufacturer Date. Use the serial number to identify and keep track of each battery’s charge and capacity history.
