Section—2430A Service SPECIFICATION INTRODUCTION ‘The TEKTRONIX 2430A Digital Oscilloscope is a portable, dual-channel instrument with a maximum digit Ing rate of 100 Megasamples per second. The scope is capable of simultaneous acquisition of Channel 1 and Channel 2 input signals. It has a real-time useful storage bandwidth of 40 MHz for single-event acquisitions, with an equivaient-ume bandwiatn of 130 MHz when repettive acquistions are acquired. Since both channels are ‘acquired cimultancoualy, the XY dioplay io aveilablo to full bandwidth. Options include a Word Recognition Probe, Video signal triggering. Probe Power. and Rackmounting. ‘The instrument is microprocessor controlled and menu driven, displaying at the top of the screen alphanumeric CAT readouts of the vertical and horizontal scale factors, ‘rigger levels, trigger source, and cursor measurement: Menus, displayed at the bottom of the CRT display, ar Used by the operator to select the operating mode. ‘Auer makes decisions as to what operation and mode atin the inetnimant must hava to maka tha maasiramsnt wanted and then selects. the proper functions using a ‘combination of frontpanel buttons andthe displayed menu. Five menu buttona mounted on the CRT bezel aro used to make selections from the entry choices displayed. The top line of the menu display usually contains the menu title, and the bottom line labels the buttons with the control functions they select. The selection is made (indicated by an underscoring of the menu label in the display) when the bezel button below the selected function 1's pressed. The menus, system operating modes, and auxiliary functions are described in Section 5, “Controls, Connectors, and Indicators” of the Operators manual included with this instrument, and the “Getting “Acquainted” procedure in Section 't of that manual fami. Wiarizes the user with menu operation. VERTICAL SYSTEM ‘The two vertical channels have calibrated deflection factors from 2 mV to 6 V per division in a 1-2-5 sequence of 14 steps. Use of coded probes having attenuation fac- tors of 1X, 10X, 100X, and 1000X extends the minimum sensitivity to 5,600 V per division (with the 1000X probe) ‘and the maximum sensitivity to 200 xV per division (using 1X probe In SAVE or AVERAGE expanded moe). VOLTSIDIV readouts are automatically switched to display a correct scale factor when property coded probes fare attached. Each channel can be separately inverted. ‘ADD and MULT are display functions provided by the pro- cessor system, In SAVE mode, the waveforms may be both horizon- tally and vertically repositioned, expanded horizontally and vertically, added to each other, or multiplied together for either XY or YT displays, HORIZONTAL SYSTEM Horizontal display modes of A, A INTEN, and B Delayed are avaliable. The time base tas 26 calrated SEC/DIV settings in a 1-2-5 sequence from 5 ns per divi. ion to & © por divicion. An Extomal Clock modo ic provided that accepts clocking signals from 1 MHz to 100 MHz. The B Trace and the intensified zone on the A INTEN Trace may be delayed by time with respect to the A ‘rigger, and a DELAY by EVENTS function permits the A display to be delayed by a selected number of B Trigger ‘events. In the case of DELAY by EVENTS, the B Trigger SOURCE, COUPLING, SLOPE, and LEVEL controls define the nature of the signal needed to produce events triggering. The number of events required to satisfy the delay may be sat from 1 to 65.538, with a resolution of fone event. The DELTA DELAY feature produces two independently settable delayed @ Traces in DELAY by TIME. TRIGGER SYSTEM ‘The trigger system of the scope provides many features for selecting and processing a signal used in triggering the acquisition system. The conventional features of SOURCE selection, Trigger LEVEL control, Trigger SLOPE, Trigger MODE, and CPLG (coupling) include enhancements not ‘normally found in a conventional oscilloscope. Tho cheiues of VERT, CHI w CH, EXTI u EXT LINE, and A°B or WORD (16-bit data word recognition) lable ae SOURCE ealections for triggering A Horlzontal Mode acquisiions. These sources for tigger signals provide a wide ranae of applications involving specialized triggering requirements. Except for A°B (A AND 6) and LINE (power-source frequency), the same Trigger SOURCE selections are avaiable for triggering B acquisi- tions. The selected trigger signal is conditioned by the choice of input CPLG (coupling). These couping selections are AC, DC, HF REF, LF REJ, and NOISE REJ. LEVEL Control provides a sattable amplitude (with CRT readout) at which triggering will occur, and SLOPE control deter- mines on which slope of the triggering signal (plus or minus) the acquisition is triggered. ‘Trigger MODE choices are AUTO LEVEL, AUTO, NORM, and SINGLE SEQ (single sequence), for the A and A INTENSIFIED Modes, and Triggerable After Delay and uns After Delay. for the A Moda ALITO LEVE! nenvides for automatic leveling on the applied trigger signal. AUTO. MODE produces an auto trigger in the event trigger signal is ether not received or not within the limits needed to produce a triggering event. When triggering conditions are met, @ normal tiggered aspiay results. At SEC/DIV settings of 100 ms per dlvision and longer, the AUTO MODE switches to ROLL. In ROLL MODE, the dopey is ‘continually updated and trigger signals are disregarded. NORM (normal) trigger MODE requires that all triggering requirements are met before an acquisition will take place. SINGLE SEQ (single sequence) MODE is a variation of the conventional single-shot displays found on ‘many previous osciloscopes. In SINGLE SEQ, a single complete acquisition is done on all caled-up VERTICAL MODES. Since an acquisition depends on the acquisition ‘mode in effect, many of the scope operating features are altered in SINGLE SEQ. A complete description of this mode is discussed in ‘Controls. Connectors. and Indicators" in Section 5 of the Operators manual. The user has @ choice of trigger points within the acquired wavetorm record by selecting the amount of pre- {nigger data displayed. The thgger location inthe record is olocable from a ohoice of fe. protigger lengthe beginning at one-eighth ofthe record length and increasing to seven-eighths of the record length. A record trigger position is independently selectable for both A and B acquistions. Adcitional rigger postions in the record are selectable va the GPIB interface commands, CURSOR MEASUREMENTS: Time and Voltage cursors are provided for making aramatric. mansuremants oa tha displayed wavaform Time may be measured either between the cursor positions (DELTA TIME) or between a selected cursor and fhe ‘tigger point of an acquired waveform (ABSOLUTE), Time cursor readouts are scaled in seconds, degrees, or percentage values. The 1/TIME cursors may be scaled in hertz (H2), degrees, or percentage. Voltage cursor measurements on a wavotorm display can be selected to read ither the voltage diflerence between the cursor positions or the absolute vottage pos! tion of a selected cursor with respect to ground. The volts measurement readouts may be scaled in units of volts, secibels (4B), oF percent. The Voltage cursors and Time ‘arsors may also be coupled to track together (V@T and SLOPE) and assigned to a particular wavetorm for ease in making peak-to-peak and slope wavetorm measurements. ‘The units tor V@T may be volts. percent. or dB: SLOPE may have units of slope (VOLTSISEC), percent (VOLTS/VOLT), or 4B. WAVEFORM ACQUISITION Waveforms may be acquired in different modes, depending on the measurement requirements. The ‘acquisition modes of NORMAL, ENVELOPE, and ‘AVG (averaging) provide the user with a wide range of ‘measurement adaptabilty. NORMAL mode provides a con- tinuous acquisition producing a “lve” waveform display similar to that seen with an analog osciloscope. AVG (averaging) mode is especialy useful for improving tho signal-to-noise ratio of the displayed waveform. Small amplitude signals masked by noise become easily visible for making measurements and analysie by averaging from 2 t0 256 acquisitions for removing uncorrelated noise. Equivalent.tima sampling, used for NORMAL and AVG ‘acquisition of recurring periodic signals, extends the useful storage bandwidth to 150 MHz when the REPETITIVE mode is on, Randomly acquired data points taken from a periodic signal are used to fil the complete record of the ‘signal wavetorm display. Depending on the SEC/DIV set- ting, as few as 10 samples (at 5 ns/DIV) or as many as 409 (at 200 ns/DIV) samples may be obtained on each ‘rigger event. The user sees the waveform display build up as dots until the entire 1024 data point record is filed. ENVELOPE mode saves the maximum and minimum data-point values over a selected number of acquisitions from 1 to 256 ps CONT (continuous). The display presents a visual image of the amount of change (envelope) that occurs to a waveshape during the accumu lated acquisitions. Frequency, phase, amplitude, and posi- tion changes are easily identified when arnuiring in ENVELOPE mode. The glitch-catching capabilty of ENVELOPE mode can capture singleevent pulses as narrow as 2 ns at the slowest SEC/DIV setting of '5 seconds per division. Horizontally, the record length of acquired waveforms Is 1024 data points (612 max/min pairs in ENVELOPE mod ‘of which 500 make up a one-scraen display (50 dat points per division for 10 divisions). The entire record may be viewed by using the Horizontal POSITION control to Position any portion of the record within the viewing area, STORAGE AND 1/O ‘Acquired wavetorms may bo saved in any of four REF waveform nonvolatile memories. Any or all of the saved rafarence waveforms may be disolayed for comparison with the waveforms being currently acquired. The source ‘and destination of waveforms to be saved may be user designated. Assignment can be made to save either chan- rnel 1 oF channel 2 (or the results of an addition or mutipl- ‘cation of the TWO channels) to any REF memory ur tv move a stored reference from one REF memory to another. Reference waveforms may also be writton into a REF memory location via the GPIB interface. ‘The scope is fully controllable and capable of sending ‘and receiving waveforms via the standard equipped GPIB Interface. This feature makes the instrument ideal for making automated measurements in a production or research and development environment that calls for repetitive data taking. Sef- calibration and setf diagnostic features bult into the scope to aid in fautt detection and servicing are also accessible via commands sent from the GPIB controller. ‘Specitfication—2430A Service Another standard feature is the “DEVICES" settina for GPIB Interface control. This feature allows the user to out- put waveforms (and other on-screen information) to either ‘a HP® Graphics Printer or Plotter from the scope front- panel, providing a way to obtain hard copies of acquired waveforms without putting the scope into a system controller environment. EXTENDED FEATURES There are several other features incorporated into this instrument designed to make it more usable, namely, the HELP, AUTOsetup, MEASURE, and AutuStep ‘Sequencer features. HELP: The HEIP function can be used to display ‘operational information about any front-panel control When HELP mode is in effect, manipulating almost any front-panel control causes the scope to display information ‘about that control. When HELP Is first invoked, an Introduction to HELP Is displayed on screen. AUTOsetup: The AUTOsetup function is used to ‘automatically Setup the scope for a viewable display based fon the input signal. The user can specify the waveform Characteristic the lsplay is optimized for (front-edge, period, etc.) from a menu displayed upon executing AUTOsetup. MEASURE: MEASURE automatically extracts, parameters from signal input to the scope. In the TSNAPSHOT" mode, 20 dliferent waveform parameters are extracted and displayed for a single acquisition. In the ‘continuous extraction mode, up to four parameters are extracted continuously as the instrument continues to acauire, AutoStep Sequencer (PROM): Will: AulLBIep, the user ccan save single front-panel setups or sequences of setups ‘and associated flow control and Input/Output actions for later recall If MEASURE and/or OUTPUT are saved as part of these setups they can be used for automatic parameter extraction and data printout. 100 to 800 front- panel setups (depending on complexity) can be stored in ‘one or more sequences. The complete descriptions of these four features are found in Section 5 of the Operators manual included with this instrument, ‘Specitication—2430A Service The following items are standard accessories shipped with the scope instrument: Probe packages ‘Snap-lock accessories pouch Zipock acvessories pouch Operators manual Programmer's Reference Guide Users Reference Guide Fuse Power cord (installed) Blue plastic CRT fiter (installed) ‘Clear plastic CAT fiter Front-panel cover, For part numbers and further information about standard accessories and a list of the optional acces- sories, rafer to “Options and Accessories” (Section 7) in this manual, For aduftional informal Un waasuties ard Cdering assistance, contact your Tektronix representative oF local Toktronix Fiald Office.

INSTRUMENT COOLING To prevent instrument damage from overheated components, adequate internal airflow must be maintained. Before turning on the power, first verify that airintake fholes an the bottom and side of the cabinet and the fan exhaust holes are free of any obstruction to airflow. The ‘scope has a thermal cutout that wil activate if overheating ‘occurs. The scope shuts down immediately with no attempt to save waveforms or front-panel conditions if a foutout nappens. Power will be disabled to the scope unt the thermal cutout cools down, at which time the power-on ‘oquence ie redone. Tho resulting lose of the last front ppanel and waveform data wil cause the power-on seff test to tail and ie indicated to the user by a falled CKSUM. NVRAM test (number 6000 in the main EXTENDED DIAG- NOSTICS menu). The cause of the overheating must be corrected before attempting prolonged operation of the scope. Pressing the MENU OFF/EXTENDED FUNCTIONS. BUTTON restores tne scope to tne normal operaung moce. START-UP This instrument automatically performs power-up tests teach time the instrument is tured on. These tests provide the highest possible confidence level that the instrument is fully functional. If no faults are encountered, the instrument Preparation for Use—2430A Service will enter the ScoDe mode in the either ACQUIRE or SAVE. Storage mode, depending on the mode in effect when it was powered otf If tests are falled, the scope displays the Extended Diagnostics menu. If the failure is in the range of 1000- 6300 and the mecsage ‘HARDWARE PROBLEM SEE SERVICE MANUAL” is displayed with the menu, see “Diagnostios” in Section 6 for more information. If the fallure Is in 1000-5300 range, but "RUN SELF CAL WHEN WARMED UP" is displayed, the SELF CAL procedure should be executed from the EXTENDED FUNCTIONS menu (wait for the NOT WARMED UP message to disap- pear trom tne SELF CAL menu). if failures persist afler the SELF CAL i run (the "HARDWARE PROBLEM—SEE SERVICE MANUAL" message will be displayed), see “Diagnostics” in Section 6 for more information. Failure of a test in the range of 7000 to 9900 may not indicate a fatal scope fault. Several conditions can occur that will cause a non-fatal failure of the tests. The scope wit aisplay “HUN SELF CAL WHEN WARMED UP" 1 indicate a SELF CAL should be performed. if SELF CAL ‘does not olear the falure ("HARDWARE PROBLEM SEE.

For example, f the problem area Is in CH 2, CH 1 may stil be used with ful confidence of making accurate measure- ‘ments. Press the MENU OFF/EXTENDED FUNCTIONS button to exit EXTENDED DIAGNOSTICS and enter ‘Scope mode. NOTE The SELF CAL. procedure is detailed in Section 5 of thie manual. Roter to Section 6 of thie manual for information on the power-up tests and the pro- ‘caduras 10 follow in the event of @ failed Dower up test. ‘A fatal fault in the operating ayatom wil cause tho ‘scope to abort. No displays are possible, and the user is rotified of an abort situation only by the flashing of the ‘Trigger LED indicators (if that Is possible). Cycling the power off then back on may clear the problem, but a failure of this magnitude usually requires the scope to be referred to a qualified service person for checkout and repairs. Persistent or reoccurring fallures of tne power-on Cr self-diagnostic tests should be brought to the attention of a qualified service person at the frst opportunity. Con ‘sult your service department, your local Tektronix Service Center, or nearest Tektronix representative if further assis- tance is needed. Preparation for Use—2430A Service POWFR-DOWN NOTE POWER INTERRUPTION TO THE INSTRUMENT WHEN THE SELF-CALIBRATION ROUTINE 1S EXE- CUTING INVALIDATES THE INSTRUMENT CALL BRATION CONSTANTS. Upon such an interruption, the instrument sets an intemal flag denoting that SELF CAL was running at shutdown. When power |g reestablished, the scope wil display “RUN SELF CAL WHEN WARMED UP". When tho “NOT WARMED UP" message disappears from the SELF CAL menu, the user MUST pertorm a SELF CAL to escape the EXT DIAG menu (the 1 menu button MUST be used to access the SELF CAL menu—see Section 6 for more information). if faiures persist after the SELF CAL is pertormed, refer the Instrument to qualid service personne. For @ normal power-off from the scope mode, an ‘orderly power down sequence retains the SAVE ‘and SAVEREF waveforms, the current front-panel control set- tings, and any stored front-panel settings. If a power-off or transient power fuctuation occurs during SELF CAL, or EXTENDED CALIBRATION, or the instrument shuts-down ‘at any time due to overheating, the normal power-down ‘sequence is not executed. The result is loss of stored Calibration constants or last front-panel control settings (or both) and a failure of the next power-on self-test (6000- {6400 range). I front panel, sequencer, or stored waveform Information was lost, the error wil clear itself on the next ower-downipower-up cycle. If calibration constants were lost the instrument will display information indicating i ceaibration is needed. If power ia momentorily interrupted, etarting the power. ff sequence, but Is reestablished before the sequence completes, the enone will aria the pwar.on procedure. if the scope is in the middle of a waveform acquisition when ower interruption occurs, the waveform data will not be saved, and the invalid waveform data display will be seen when power-on has completed. Press ACQUIRE to restart the acquisition and obtain vana waverorm aata. REPACKAGING FOR SHIPMENT It fs recommenced that the original carton and packing ‘material be saved in the event it is necessary for the instrument to be reshippod using a commercial transport ‘oarrier. If the original materials are unfit or not available, then repackage tha instrument using the. following procedure. 4.

Section 3—2430A Service THEORY OF OPERATION SECTION ORGANIZATION ‘The section of the manual is divided into three subsec- tons, with each subsection increasing in detail. The first subsection is the “Simplified Block Diagram Description” ‘which contains a general summary of instrument operation by diagram. A simplified block diagram accompanies the text. Subsection two is the *Detalled Block Diagram Description” which discusses the circuit functions in (Greater deta and provides a mnuTE lndeptly WR at Ure ‘acquisition system. A detailed block diagram is located in ‘the foldout pager at the roar of thie manual. Generally, both block diagram descriptions follow the signal-fiow path as much as possible and not the schematic diagram number order as is done in the “Detailed Circuit Description’ Subsection thee is the “Detaled Circuit Description" which iscusses the circuitry shown in the schematic, diagram foldouts, also located at the rear of this manual. ‘The schematic diagram number associated with each escrpton is identified in the text and is shown on the block diagrams. For best understanding ofthe circu being described, refer to the appropriate schematic diagram and the block diagrams. The order of discussion in the circu, descriptions folows the schematic diagram number order. INTEGRATED CIRCUIT DESCRIPTIONS Digital logic circuits perform most of the functions within the instrument. Functions and operation of the logic, circuits are shown using logic symbols and terms. Most logic functions are descrited using the positiveogic con- vention. Positive logic is a notation system in which the ‘more positive of the two logic levels is the HI (or 1) state; ‘the more negative level is the LO (or 0) state. Voltages that consul @ HI Uw LO stale vary between specific, devices. Refer to the device manufacturer's data book for specific electrical characteristics or logical operation of common parts. ‘The functioning of linear integrated circuit devices in this section is discussed using waveforms or other tech- rniques such as voltage measurements and simpitied diagrams, where required, to ilustrate their operation. Theory of Operation—2430A Ser SIMPLIFIED BLOCK DIAGRAM DESCRIPTION Thie discussion is of the block diagram shown in Figure 3-1 Attenuators and Preamplifiers (diagram 9) ATTENUATORS. The Attenuators are settable to 1X, 10X, oF 100X attenuation, to reduce the input eignal level to within the dynamic range of the Preamplifiers. Input coupling for the signal to the Attenuators may be either ‘AC of DC with 1 Mi termination or DC with 50 9 termina- tion, Attenuator and coupling switching are controlled by the System sP using register-activated magneticlatch switches. PREAMPLIFIERS. The Preamplifiers provide switchable gain setting and buffering of the attenuated input signs! ‘Single-ended input signals are converted to double-ended (Giflerential) output signals. Variable Vertical Mode gain. vertical position, and DC Balance are controlled by input signals to the Preamplifiers. The System P-controled {gain in combination with the switchable attenuator settings allow the complete range of available VOLTS/DIV switch settings trom 2 mv to 5 V to De obtained. Trigger pickofts provide a sample of the input signal to the trigger system for use as a triggering signal source. With the Video Option installed, a Channel 2 pickoff signal is supplied from the Preamplfiers as a trigger signal source, Also. @ Channel 2 Offset signal used to control the back-porch ‘clamping is provided from the Video Option to the Chan- nel 2 Preampitier. Peak Detectors and CCD/Glock Drivers (diagram 10) PEAK DETECTORS. Additional butlering of the signal to the CCDs Is provided by the Peak Detectors for all ‘acquisition modes. The bandwicth of the input amplifiers of the Peak Detectors is switchable for FULL, 50 MHz, and 20 MHz bandwiaths. In Envelope acquisition mode, dual ‘min-max Peak Detectors detect and hold the minimum and ‘maximum peak signal amplitudes that occur between sam- pling clocks. Those min and max signal values are then applied to the CCDs for sampling. Control data from the System uP controls the bandwidth selection, and peak detector clock signals multiplex the signal samples from the Peak Detectors to the CCDs. A calibration signal input is provided to the Peak Detectors for use in automatic cal- bration and diagnostic testing of the acquisition system. a2 Common-mode adjust circuitry on the output of the Peak Detectors is used to control the overall gain of the Peak Detector/CCD acquisition subsystem. Using digital signals to the DAC system, analog voltages are generated that set the gain of the Common-mode adjust ampitiers. ‘These ampitfers monitor the dc common-mode level of the Peak Detector outputs and match it to the contro! gain level set by the System 4P. That de level sats the CCD signal gain CCD/CLOCK DRIVERS. The CCDs are fast analog shift registers that can hold more that enough samples to fill the complete waveform record of 1024 samples per chan- nel. The extra samples are used to account Tor me uncer- tainty of the trigger point location in the 82 samples stored inv the input register. Once a trigger eooura, the oamplee not needed to fil the waveform records are basically dis- carded. For fast signals, waveform samples are stored very rapidly and then shifted out at a rate that can be han- dled by the A/D Converter. When the sample rate is slow ‘enough to allow direct conversion of the input samples, a Short Pipeline mode is used to shift samples directly through tne CCO registers. The Clock Oriver portion of the devices produces the phase clocks that shift the analog ‘ata through the GCD registers. Other clocks used to sample the signal and transfer the samples into and out of the CCD arrays are generated in the CCD Clack and Sys- tem Clock circuits (diagrams 11 and 7 respectively) CCD Output (diagram 14) ‘The differential signals from both sides and both chan- nels of the CCD arrays are combined and multiplexed onto a single data line to the A/D Converter.

A/D Converter and Acquisition Latches (diagram 15) AID CONVERTER, The combined samples of analog signals are converted to eight-it data bytes by the A/D Converter. In Envelope Mode, the data bytes are applied to two magnitude comparators, along with the previous maximum and minimum data Dytes to determine if it is ‘greater in magnitude than the last maximum or minimum. it @ new data byte is greater, the new data byte is latched into the Acquisition Latches: otherwise, latching does not ‘ecw, Clocking to direct the signals into the Acquisition Theory of Operation—2430A Service on farTEMATORS OU Fea Tara Om tu 23] PRES erections auteur ox 2 | a ec [| cortvoce owe mi oriveRs, FOU E=E wie 2 © ncouist Tio PAL Sa rer 00 “Tne mse yee urFERED OATA ous ® BN.

ACQUISITION LATCHES. For Normal and Average acquisitions, the data bytes are passed directly through the Acquisition Latches to the Acquisition Memory where they are stored temporarily before transfer to Waveform Processor Data Bus and the Waveform Processor Save Memory. The Envelope acquisition waveform bytes in the ‘Acquisition Latches are the maximum and minimum cata point values that occurred in the sampling interval.
