Family Compatibility
Mechanically, TM 500 - 5000 plug-in modules are very
similar to other Tektronix product families. However, they
are not electrically compatible. Therefore, the TM 5003 in
terface has barriers on the mating connectors between pins
6 and 7 to ensure that incompatible plug-ins cannot be in
serted. See Fig. 2-5. A compatible module will have a
matching slot between pins 6 and 7 of its main circuit board
edge connector. This slot and barrier combination is the pri
mary keying assignment.
TM 500-5000 compatible plug-in modules are also identi
fied by the white color of the release latch.
Customizing the Interface
The modularity of this instrumentation system provides
for many different functions to be performed by the plug-in
modules. Specific functions are grouped into families or
classes, of which there may be several plug-in module mem
bers. For instance, some classes are Power Supplies, Sig
nal Sources, Measurement, and so forth. Each module
member of a functional family will have a second slot, pecu
liar to its family assignment, located in its edge connector.
The TM 5003 user can select one or more compartments, to
accept only members of that family, by installing a second

barrier in the interface connector to match the module ' s slot
location. An entire TM 5003 can be set up in this manner for
specific work functions. For extra barriers, order Tektronix
Part No. 214-1593-02.
Rear Panel
The rear subpanel has a connector mounting plate for
bnc and multipin connector mountings. Customer or factory-
installed connectors and wiring (Option 02) can provide
external access to the interface. This feature makes the
TM 500-5000 Series Modular Instrumentation System very
flexible in bench-top or rack mounted systems.
Option 02
Qualified service personnel see Section 6 in the Service
Section of this manual for information on Option 02.
Repackaging Information
If the Tektronix instrument is shipped to a Tektronix Ser
vice Center for service or repair, attach a tag showing own
er (with address) and the name of an individual at your firm
to contact. Include the complete instrument serial number
and a description of the service required.
