About This Manual

This manual describes the operation and servicing of
the PM 101 General Purpose Personality Module. The first
part of this manual, the operator's portion, provides an
overview of the module, instructions on how to connect it
to Systems-Under-Test and the Logic Analyzer, and other
information on operation. The second part of the manual,
the service portion, is found after the colored divider page.
It contains maintenance information, circuit descriptions,
diagnostics, schematics, and parts lists, and is intended to
be used only by qualified service personnel. Refer to the
table of contents for the specific location of information.
This manual frequently refers to the "Logic Analyzer";
this means the 7D02 Logic Analyzer. It is assumed that the
reader has access to Operator's and Service manuals for
the 7D02.

taining the electronic circuitry on two circuit boards. A
four foot ribbon cable and connector is attached to one
end, and a set of 54 leads is connected to the other end.
The ribbon cable and connector attach to the Logic
Analyzer, while the leads are used to connect the Per­
sonality Module to the System-Under-Test or the Self Test
Stimulus Circuitry of the PM 101 itself. Grabber tips for
these leads (Tektronix Part No. 206-0222-00) are provided
as a standard accessory.

Qualifier Ii nes and a clock. It also contains Read-Only­
Memory Circuitry and Control Circuitry which allows the
Logic Analyzer to read the ROM or halt the system under
test. Self Test Stimulus Circuitry, used in diagnostics and
troubleshooting, is on a second board.
