Service Safety Summary viii 1741C Waveform Monitor Service Manual...
Preface This manual supports servicing to the module level of the 1741C Waveform Monitor, which processes video signals for display on an internal XGA LCD. The instrument finds use as a monitor for broadcasting, production, and post-production environments. This manual explains how to troubleshoot and service the monitor to the module level.
These manuals ship with the product and are also downloadable from the Tektronix Web site.

Theory of Operation The 1741C is an Analog Composite waveform monitor with four input channels. The monitor uses an internal XGA monitor for the display, and has an output to drive an external XGA monitor with the same display. It has outputs to drive serial digital and analog picture monitors.
LTC inputs come from the remote connector. The LTC signal is applied to an A/D converter and then input to the waveform processing FPGA, which decodes the time code information. NOTE. The FPGAs decode VITC signals digitally. 1741C Waveform Monitor Service Manual 2–3...

Download the PVCustomSignals.zip file, unzip it, and install the signals on your TG2000. Note that the 067-0465-00 (AVC1) is not available outside of Tektronix. Other equipment can be substituted but it might not have sufficient accuracy to guarantee the specifications. For hum insertion, a general-purpose sine wave generator can be used to terminate and drive back into the video signal through appropriate impedance matching.
1. Push Input A to select the Composite A signal. 2. Push the Config button. 3. Select Utilities > Calibration, and then push SEL to enter the calibration menu. 4. Navigate to Composite DC Offset and push SEL to automatically adjust the offset. 3–2 1741C Waveform Monitor Service Manual...

A good first step is to recall the Factory Presets. To properly test a waveform monitor you must have appropriate signal sources. For the 1741C you will need a Composite video source. In some cases, you may also need receivers or an oscilloscope to check outputs.
