Page 29: Product Description
Functional check procedures Product Description The TG700 TV Signal Generator Platform is a multiformat TV signal generator platform supporting both analog and digital video standards. The TG700 consists of a mainframe and up to four plug-in modules. The modules are either signal generators or they provide special functions, such as genlock capability.
Page 30: Mainframe Memory Requirements
32 MB of memory installed and software version 5.2 or above installed. If your mainframe has 32 MB of memory and you load the TG700 memory with signals from the Frame Picture Generator application, you may not be able to upgrade the instrument to software version 5.2.

Page 32 Option FP provided extra memory, which allowed the TG700 mainframe to support the Frame Picture Generator application. This option is no longer necessary for new TG700 mainframes. If you have an older mainframe with less than 64 MB of memory, you can upgrade your mainframe to 64 MB by ordering the following upgrade kit: 040-1698-xx.
Page 33: Initial Product Inspection
Personal injury or damage to the instrument can occur if the instrument is not properly secured in the equipment rack. The TG700 is conﬁgured at shipment for use in an equipment rack. Use the information in the following ﬁgure to connect the rackmount hardware to the rack.

Page 35: Figure 1-2: Placing The Tg700 In The Rack
Figure 1-2: Placing the TG700 in the rack To remove the TG700 from the rack, slide it out until it stops at the catches. Support the TG700 while you press in on the stop latch buttons on each side. This action will free the TG700 to slide completely out of the rack.
Page 36: Table 1-4: Ac Line Power Requirements
Connecting Power The TG700 operates from a single-phase power source with the neutral conductor at or near earth ground. The line conductor is fused for over-current protection. A protective ground connection through the grounding conductor in the power cord is essential for safe operation.
Page 37: Module Installation And Removal
Getting Started Module Installation and Removal The following procedures describe how to install and remove modules from the TG700 mainframe. A screwdriver with a #1 Phillips tip is the only tool you need to install or remove a module. CAUTION.
Page 38: Figure 1-3: Tg700 Slot Numbering
For AGL7 and GPS7 modules, only one of these modules can be installed in the TG700 mainframe at a time, and it must be installed only in slot 1. All other modules may be installed in any slot location.

Page 84: Clock Conﬂict Messages
Operating Basics Clock Conﬂict Messages The TG700 uses various shared clocks to operate the mainframe and to output test signals from the installed modules. In some cases, when you change the signal format of a module output, the associated SD or HD clock frequency changes to support the new format.
Page 85: Fan Failure Warning Message
To prevent this damage, disconnect the power cable from the AC power source. The TG700 displays the following warning message if the fan on the rear panel stops working. If this warning message appears, disconnect the power cable from the AC voltage line and contact your local Tektronix Field Ofﬁce or representative.

Page 217 Prevent risk of shock or ﬁre by ensuring that the GPS antenna is protected from lightning strikes when it is mounted outside a building or facility. The GPS7 module and TG700 mainframe do not have isolation protection from lightning, so the facility installation must provide suitable protection for the GPS antenna external to the TG700 mainframe.
