INTERNATIONAL POWER
CORD OPTIONS
Instruments are shipped with the detachable power-
cord option ordered by the customer. Descriptive informa-
tion about the international power-cord options is provided
in Section 2, "Preparation for Use: The following list
identifies the Tektronix option number for the available
power cords.
Standard (or Option AO)
Option A1
Option A2
Option A3
Option A4
Option A5
OPTION 10
United States
Universal Euro
United Kingdom
Australian
North American
Switzerland
Option 10 provides a GPIB (General Purpose Interface
Bus) communications interface and, with the 2230, addi-
tional memory. The interface implemented conforms to the
specifications contained in IEEE Standard Digital Interface
for Programmable Instrumentation (ANSI/IEEE Std 488-
1978). It also complies with a Tektronix Standard relating
to GPIB Codes, Formats, Conventions and Features.
Operating information for the Option 10 GPIB interface is
given in the COMMUNICATION OPTION OPERATION
subsection of this section.
OPTION 12
Option 12 provides an RS-232-C serial communications
interface and, with the 2230, additional memory. The
interface implemented conforms to RS-232-C
specifications. The option provides both DTE and DCE
capability to aid in hooking up the various types of
printers, plotters, personal computers, and modems that
may be encountered. Operating information for the Option
12 RS-232-C interface is given in the COMMUNICATION
OPTION OPERATION subsection of this section. Informa-
tion regarding RS-232-C interconnection cables is given in
Appendix B of this manual.
OPTION 33
Option 33, the Travel Line option, provides impact pro-
tection needed for rough industrial and service
environments. When the instrument is ordered with Option
33, it comes equipped with the Accessory Pouch, the
Front Panel cover, shock-absorbing rubber guards
mounted on the front and rear of the cabinet, an easy-to-
use power-cord wrap, and a carrying strap.
COMMUNICATIONS OPTION OPERATION
The communications options allow remote waveform acquistion and the transfer of waveform data both to and from the
oscilloscope. Waveform data may also be directly output to compatible digital printers or plotters for producing hardcopies
of the displayed signals.
Remote control and waveform transfer is accomplished
by messages sent to the oscilloscope via one of the com-
munication option interfaces. The Option 10 interface con-
forms to GPIB IEEE-488 bus standard and the Option 12
interface conforms to the standard for RS-232-C serial
communication. Both options also conform to Tektronix
standards on Codes, Formats, Conventions, and Features.
In general, messages to the oscilloscope sent via the
communication options have one of the
following purposes:
7-2
1. Query the state of the oscilloscope.
2. Query the result of a measurement made.
3. Set or change the instrument's operating mode.
4. Request waveform data transfer.
