‘Some important notes:
“To measure some signals, iis necessary o unlock units. Refer to chapter 8.5 for details on how
to proceed,
= The given AC and DC signals are average values: your osciloscope under test may deviate from
the values given in the circuit ciagrams, 100 MHz clock signals and fast switching signals on the
digitizer unit AB roquire a measuring oscilloscope with a bandwidth of 200 MHz or more.
~ AAthough the oscilloscope is in standard setting, t may be necessary to do manual selections for
certain measurements. To measure e.g. the delayed time base and its triggering, itis necessary
to activate DTB and to select a channel as DB trigger source.The same is vali fo digizer
functions like logic pattern, timed pattern, double sampling speed (250 ns),
When measuring in the final amplifies, i advised to switch of all text. Tis gives ‘cleaner’ signals
atthe outputs. The tex is written inbetween the signal ata random basis,
= Measuring the outputs ofthe final Y ampiier must be done with a 10 KO resistor between probe
tip and signal. This avoids oscilations

BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION
Introduction
“This block diagram and description are based upon the most complex version of this family of digital
oscllascopes. Therefore there may be minor differences between your asciloscope and the block
‘iagram and its description. Whore differences may occur itis mentioned in the text
“The item numbers of active components are indicated each block of the diagram. This facitates to
rake the link withthe circuit diagrams.
‘The oscilloscope is controlled by a microprocessor that connects to many blocks. Therefore
throughout this block diagram CONTROL CIRCUITS can be found that are controled by the
‘microprocessor. The output signals can be simple onioft signals e.g to switch a certain vertical
channel on and ofl. There are also adjustable dc voltages 6.9. to determine the gain ofa vertical
channel. Blocks that are under contol ofthe microprocessor have the input signal "uP". In the
‘vertical, horizontal and time base sections, circuits are added for microcomputer controlled automatic
calibration,
“This description is divided according tothe functional blocks that can be distinguished:
Vertical channels: there are 4 vertical channels,
= Triggering and time bases: there are sections for main- and delayed time base.
= Final amplifiers: for vertical (Y) and horizontal (X) deflection, intensity (Z) and focusing contro,
= Front unit and microprocessor unit,
= Power supply unit.
= Digitizer unt
‘Also the printed circuit boards (urits) are indicated in the blockdiagram. These units are
= Signal unit 1: isthe largest of all and incorporates 4 vertical channels and main- and delayed
triggering and time basa,
= Final XYZ ampltior A2: al final ampltiers are present here. A separate part is connected to the
CAT socket.
= Microprocessor unit AS,
= Front unit 4: incorporates most ofthe rotary knobs and keys.
= CRT controls unit AS: incorporates the rotary knobs forthe display functions.
= Power supply unit AB: supplies various voltages to the other circuit boards.
+ Digitizer unit A@: includes al digital storage circuitry.
= Motherboard A10: many signals are routed via this unt DESCRIPTIONS
Vertical channel
‘There are 4 vertical channels that are mainly identical. A diflerence is that the 200 MHz oscilloscope
versions have a switchable 500 input impedance while the 100 MHz types do not have ths feature.
‘Another difference is between the 4 channel and the 2 + 2 channel versions. The 4 channel scopes
have 4 identical vertical channels (CH1, CH2, CH3 and CH4) with an extensive range of input
Sensitivities. The various input sensitviies are made by combinations of settings of HIGH
IMPEDANCE ATTENUATOR, LOW IMPEDANCE ATTENUATOR and PREAMPLIFIER.
‘The 2 + 2 channel versions have 2 identical vertical channels (CH1 and CHa) with an extensive rango
‘of input sensitivities. The other 2 channels (CH3 and CHA) are identical and have 2 switchable input
‘sensitivities. Channel 1 operation and the diferences with channels 2, 3 and 4 aro now explained
‘The CH! input signal is applied to the INPUT COUPLING block. Here selection between ac or de
‘coupled input is done, Moreover in the 200 Minz oscilloscopes selection between 50S and 1 MC input
impedance is done here. A signal 500 PROTection signals via the CONTROL CIRCUITS to the
microprocessor i the dissipation in the 500 termination resistor gets too high,
‘The block HIGH IMPEDANCE ATTENUATOR incorporates the attenuation coefficients /100, 10
‘and /1. This block has a fixed attenuation in channels with 2 input sensitivities such as present in the
2++2 channel oscilloscopes. The input signal originating from the AMPLITUDE CALIBRATOR is used
to automatically calibrate the vertical channels. The AMPLITUDE CALIBRATOR is a generator that
can deliver 8 different accurate voltages. The HIGH IMPEDANCE ATTENUATOR also comprises a
high-frequency square-wave adjustment; this is done by adjustment of de signal CAL.
‘The IMPEDANCE CONVERTER converts the input signal at high input impedance into an output
signal ta low impedance. This block is followed by a LOW IMPEDANCE ATTENUATOR that makos
the attenuation coefficients /2.5 and /1. This block has a fixed attenuation in channels with 2 input
sensitivities such as present in the 2 + 2 channel oscilloscopes.
‘The PREAMPLIFIER incorporates gain/attenuation coefficionts x1, x5, /2 and also continuous GAIN
‘control via a microprocessor adjustable de signal. The PREAMPLIFIER is folowed by Y-FUNCTIONS
CHANNEL 1. inthis block the selection is achieved of vertical display via channel 1, Main Time Base
(MTB) triggering via channel 1 and Delayed Time Base (OT8) triggering via channel 1. Also the fiter
for the Bandwidth Limiter (BWL), the vertical position control POS) and an output to the
dlgtizer (EXT). From Y-FUNCTIONS CHANNEL 1 the signal forthe Y- OUTput sockets derived. The
Y-FUNCTIONS blocks of channel 2 and 4 have an INVert function for signal inversion.
‘The selection ofthe vertical channel, MTB and DTB trigger source is inated by the block DISPLAY
MODE + TRIGGER SOURCE CONTROL. The channels and tigger sources tobe displayed are
controlled by the microprocessor (xP). In ALTernate display mode the switching between
channelsfrigger sources occurs at the end of the MTB sweep. The signal ALT controls tis. For the
vertical display mode CHOPpped a 2MHz CHOPPER OSCILLATOR is present. Display blanking
during switching from one channel to another is done via signal CHP.
‘The selected vertical channel(s) are applied to the DELAY LINE DRIVER. This block’ an ampitier
that has the correct output impedance to drive the DELAY LINE. The DELAY LINE itself consists of
2 coaxial cable giving sufficient signal delay so that propagation delay in the tiggor circuits is,
compensated. Because of tis leading edges of fast-rising pulses can be made visible. The
Y-OFFSET + TRACE SEPARATION block can influence the offset ofthe signal applied to the DELAY
LINE DRIVER. This is used as offset compensation and also for TRACE SEParation in ALTemate
‘Time Base mode.
‘The PROBE CALIBRATOR is a generator delivering a 2kHz/600mV square-wave signal. Ths signal
can be used to adjust the square-wave response of attenuator probes. DESCRIPTIONS 3-9
3.2.3 Triggering and time bases
“The soctions for Main Time Base (MTB) and Delayed Time Base (DTB) are for the greater part
identical. Therefore the MTB partis extensively described and then the DTB part brifly.
Main Time Base Description.
The possible trigger sources are applied to the block MTB TRIGGER FILTERS + AMPLIFIER. The
selection for triggering onthe vertical channels 1,2, 3 or 4is done in the Y-FUNCTIONS blocks in the
vertical section, Triggering is also possible on the LINE tigger signal that is derived from the mains.
The MTB TRIGGER FILTERS + AMPLIFIER incorporates fters for HF- reject, LF-reject and ac or de
signal coupling. The block also incorporates the #/-slope selection. The dc contol signal LEVEL MTB.
originating rom the CONTROL CIRCUITS is routed via the PEAK-PEAK DETECTOR. This block
limits in peak-peak mode the LEVEL MTB range just within the peak-peak value ofthe signal. For his,
purpose the trigger signal is applied to an input ofthe detector. The LEVEL MTB control signal is not
limited if the peak-peak mode is inactive.
For triggering on TY synchronization pulses the blocks TV CLAMP CIRCUIT and TV SYNC
‘SEPARATOR are used. The CLAMP CIRCUIT separates the synchronization pulses from the
e@ composite video signal. The video information is not necessary for liggering. The TV SYNC
SEPARATOR filters out line, frame and field pulses, Ths is done for various TV systems including
HDTV. A VSYNC output is connected to digitizer unit AB,
“The block MTB TRIGGER FILTERS + AMPLIFIER sends trigger pulses to the MTB LOGIC. This logic
|s combined with the DTB LOGIC. The three output signals are used to start MTB applied to MTB
TIMING CONTROL), to switch intensity on and of (applied to Z CONTROL) and for ALTernate display
switching (applied to DISPLAY MODE + TRIGGER SOURCE CONTROL). TV HOLD-LD is received
‘rom cigizer AB, TB4OTXT and MTB trigger DSOM are applied o AB.
“The MTB is based on the principle that selectable capacitors (inside block MTB TIMING) are charged
vith a selectable constant current from MTB CURRENT SOURCE). This results in a sawtooth
voltage across the capacitor(s) that rises linearly withthe time. As a consequence a time-iinear
horizontal deflection is obtained. The sawtooth voltage is routed tothe horizontal deflection part via
the MTB SAWTOOTH PICK OFF. Ths block serves as a high to low impedance converter so that the
load to the timing capacitor(s) is minimal. Various time base swaep speeds are obtained by selecting
