TLA7Bxx Logic Analyzer Module Service Manual
This manual contains information needed for periodic maintenance of the
TLA7Bxx logic analyzer modules. It provides information for the removal and
replacement of circuit boards, assemblies, and mechanical parts listed in the parts
lists. It does not support component-level fault isolation and replacement.
This manual uses certain conventions that you should be familiar with before
service the instrument.
The acquisition board is one of the circuit boards inside the instrument module.
The circuit board receives and stores acquisition data from the probes and works
with the Local Processor Unit (LPU) board to provide information to the operator.
The Local Processor Unit (LPU) board is one of the circuit boards inside the
instrument module that provides the main communications interface with the
acquisition board and the mainframe.
Maintenance procedures are used for fault isolation and repair to the circuit board
level or to the replaceable part level.
Throughout this manual, the terms "module" and "instrument module" refer to
a logic analyzer, serial analyzer, or pattern generator unit that mounts inside a
mainframe. A module is composed of circuit boards, interconnecting cables, and
a user-accessible front panel.
This manual refers to any field-replaceable assembly or mechanical part
specifically by its name or generically as a replaceable part. In general, a
replaceable part is any circuit board or assembly that is listed in the replaceable
parts list near the end of this manual.
The following table lists related documentation available for your instrument. The
documentation is available on the TLA Documentation CD, included with your
instrument, and on the Tektronix Web site (www.Tektronix.com).
To obtain documentation not specified in the table, contact your local Tektronix
representative.
