Theory of Operation This section describes the electrical operation of the AWG7000B and AWG7000C Series Arbitrary Waveform Generators. Overview The Arbitrary Waveform Generators provide various models with different frequency and numbers of channels. Each model consists of two major sections: the platform and generator.
Theory of Operation Module Overviews A Microsoft Windows processor system is the primary controller of the instrument. The instrument features an XGA resolution flat-panel display, a transparent touch screen, and a front panel with direct access to commonly used instrument functions. You can also make complete use of the instrument with a mouse and a keyboard.
Page 29
Multi-Input/Output (MIO) The MIO board coordinates the flow of data through the Windows PCIe port (PCI port for AWG7000B series) from various devices that communicate with the Board μATX system. The devices include the display system, GPIB, TekLink, and data flow (PCIF) path to the waveform generator system.
Page 30
1024 x 768 resolution and brightness is set to full intensity. For AWG7000C Series instruments, the display is controlled by the Processor board. For AWG7000B Series instruments, the display is controlled by the MIO board (or the display adapter board on AWG7000B Series instruments with serial numbers B020000 and above).
Page 31
Theory of Operation Power (PWR) Board The PWR board provides DC power to the fans, HDD, CD Drive, μATX board, MIO board, and AWG12G board. All the power comes from the CVR460 module. The fan control circuit has a thermal sensor on this board. DC voltage to the fans is controlled relative to the sensed temperature.

Execute All Calibrations To perform all calibrations in one step, click Execute All Calibrations and all calibrations are executed in order starting from the top. Instead of performing all the steps in the data timing calibration, restore and use the calibration constants obtained by the ATS (Auto Test System) at the factory or during servicing.
Adjustment Procedures Calibration Procedure Before starting the calibration procedure, you need to restore the calibration constants that were obtained by ATS (Automatic Test System) at the factory or the service center. Restoring the Calibration Click the Copy Calibration Data from AWG12G to MIO button in the middle right of the Service UI window.
Adjustment Procedures 3. Click the 10MHz Reference... button in the AwgService UI window to display the following setup window: Figure 3-3: 10 MHz Reference Calibration setup window 4.

Page 41
Adjustment Procedures Data Timing-RAM Timing This is a self calibration. The instrument outputs a waveform while reading the waveform data from the internal RAM to the Memory Controller PLD. Calibration This calibration ensures the optimum timing to enable waveform outputs in all frequency settings.
Adjustment Procedures 1. Install the test hookup and preset the instrument controls: a. Hook up the sampling oscilloscope: Attach the SMA terminations to the Channel 1 Analog (–) Output, Channel 2 Analog (–) Output, and Marker 1 (–) Output on the front panel of the arbitrary waveform generator.
Adjustment Procedures 3. Click the Inter-Channel Skew... button in the Service UI menu to display the following setup window: Figure 3-5: Inter-Channel Skew Calibration setup window 4. Perform the following measurements: a.

Page 44
Adjustment Procedures d. Measure R1 to C1 Delay using the Measurement function of the sampling oscilloscope. Select the following parameters in the Inter-Channel Skew Calibration window: Sampling Rate: 6.0 GHz Ch 2 Phase: 0 ° e. If the delay value measured in step d is outside ±83 ps range, change the Sampling Rate to 12.0 GHz and then return the setting to 6.0 GHz.

Adjustment Procedures as necessary so that the rising edge of the waveform is displayed at the center of the screen. o. After you complete all the measurements for Sampling Rate: 12.0 GHz, click Calc (Delay to Phase). This will display the calculated phase values in the Ch1–Ch2 Phase (degree) field.
Adjustment Procedures Figure 3-7: Interleave Calibration window 3. Click Load Waveform for CH1 PATH in the Interleave Calibration window. 4. On the sampling oscilloscope, use the vertical offset and horizontal position controls to display the waveform at the center of the screen. 5.
Page 48
Adjustment Procedures 13. Use the sampling oscilloscope to measure R1-Rise to C1-Rise Delay. R1 is the intermediate value between High Level and Low Level values measured in step 5, and C1 is the intermediate value between High Level and Low Level values measured in step 7. 14.

Maintenance This section contains information needed to do periodic and corrective maintenance on the instrument. The following subsections are included: Preparation – Tells you how to prepare for arbitrary waveform generator maintenance. Preparation Preventing ESD – Provides general information on preventing damage to internal modules when doing maintenance.
Maintenance Do not allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the work station surface. Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible. Do not slide the modules over any surface. Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering capable of generating a static charge.
Maintenance Inspection and Cleaning The collection of dirt on internal components can cause them to overheat and fail. Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause an instrument procedures failure, especially under high-humidity conditions. Inspect the instrument as often as operating conditions require.
Page 58
Maintenance Cleaning Procedure – Exterior. Do the following steps to clean the instrument exterior: 1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the clear glass display shield. 2. Remove remaining dirt with a lint-free cloth dampened in a general purpose detergent-and-water solution.
NOTE. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, please contact Tektronix. (See Contacting Tektronix at the front of this manual.) Lubrication. There is no periodic lubrication required for the instrument.

PC troubleshooting and Microsoft Windows operating system skills. Details of PC and Windows operation and service are not in this manual. For assistance, contact your local Tektronix Service Center. Required Equipment You will need a digital multimeter to check power supply voltages, as described on (See page 4-55, Checking the Power Supply Voltages.).
Troubleshooting Checking the Power To check the power supply voltages, power on the instrument and connect the (–) lead of a multimeter to chassis ground. Supply Voltages To measure the output voltages of the power supply, check the voltages at J104 on the PWR board with the multimeter and compare each reading to the values listed in the following table.
Troubleshooting Checking the PWR Board To measure the output voltages of the PWR board, check the voltages at J2000 on the AWG12G board with the multimeter and compare each reading to the Voltages values listed in the following table. If the voltages are within the allowance, your PWR board is functional.
Troubleshooting Instrument Diagnostics The primary diagnostics for the instrument are accessible through the AWG application software. The Instrument diagnostics check the basic functionality of analog and marker output at every power on. The Instrument Diagnostics run after Windows has booted up and run its own set of system checks. If any failures occur at power on, a pop-up message indicates that a failure has occurred and provides an error code: Diagnostics error codes (See Table 4-6 on page 4-58.)
Troubleshooting Calibration Error To run the instrument calibration, do these steps: 1. Turn off all other applications. 2. From the menu bar, select System and then select Calibration...; the Calibration dialog box appears.
