Specifications
These specifications apply to all TBS1000 series oscilloscopes. To verify that an
oscilloscope meets specifications, it must first meet the following conditions:
The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the specified operating temperature.
You must perform the Do Self Cal operation, accessible through the Utility
menu, if the operating temperature has changed by more than 5 °C (9 °F)
since the last time the Do Self Cal operation was performed.
The oscilloscope must be within the factory calibration interval of one year.
Specifications are provided in the following tables. All specifications are
guaranteed unless noted "typical." Specifications that are marked with the symbol
are checked in the Performance Verification section. (See page 25, Performance
Verification.)

Signal Acquisition System Characteristics

NOTE. All amplitude-related or modified specifications require 1X probe
attenuation factors unless otherwise specified. This is due to the way the displayed
sensitivity works. This does not affect actual methods of attachment. It only alters
the relationship between displayed scale factors and the specifications.

Characteristic Description
Maximum Input Voltage At the front panel connector, 300 VRMS, Installation Category II; derate at 20 dB/decade above 100 kHz to
13 V peak AC at 3 MHz and above.
Based on sinusoidal or DC input signal. The maximum viewable signal while DC coupled is ±50 V offset
±5 V/div at 4 divisions, or 70 V. AC coupling allows measuring signals on a DC level up to 300 V. For
nonsinusoidal waveforms, peak value must be less than 450 V. Excursions above 300 V should be less
than 100 ms in duration, and the duty factor is limited to < 44%. The RMS signal level must be limited to
300 V. If these values are exceeded, damage to the instrument may result.
Number of Digitized Bits 8 bits except at 2 mV/div
Displayed vertically with 25 digitization levels per division, 10 divisions dynamic range.
2 mV/div setting is generated by digital multiplication and the resolution is reduced. Given 100 levels
available, the resolution is >6.5 bits.
Sensitivity Range 2 mV/div to 5 V/div in 1-2-5 sequence with the probe attenuation set to 1X.
Display Gain Variable The Display Gain Variable function allows the user to vary the vertical display gain continuously over the
full range.
Resolution is that of the coarse gain from which these data are constructed. Fine gain values (for
instance 120 mV/div) are acquired at the next higher coarse gain setting (in this case 200 mV/div).
The Display Gain Variable is achieved by digital multiplication of the data to obtain the settings between
the 1-2-5 gain settings.
Hard copy outputs to printer will be exactly the same as seen on screen even when the Display Gain
Variable is used.
However, WAVEFORM DATA obtained through the I/O interface is limited to the 1-2-5 gain settings.
Probe Scale Factors 1X, 10X, 20X, 50X, 100X, 500X, 1000X voltage attenuation.
5, 1, 500 m, 200 m, 20 m, 10 m, 1 m V/A current scale factor.
This adjusts the display scale factor of the instrument to accommodate various probe types.
Accuracy of the probe used must be added to the accuracy specifications of instrument.
No automatic probe interface is provided, so you must verify that the settings match the probe
characteristics. The probe check function allows setting of the proper attenuation for voltage probes.
Acquisition Modes Sample, Peak Detect, Average
Envelope mode not provided
Retained Front Panel Front panel settings are retained when the instrument power is turned off and on with the power switch.
Settings The settings are retained when the line power is turned off and on.
The instrument periodically saves front panel settings after settings are changed. There is a delay of
three seconds after the last change and before the storage of the settings in memory.

Trigger Holdoff Range 500 ns minimum to 10 s maximum
The ability to set large values of Holdoff is limited by the difficulty in adjusting the Holdoff at Sec/Div
settings less than 100 ms/Div. This is because Holdoff cannot be set in Scan Mode, which begins at
100 ms/div when Trigger Mode is AUTO. By adjusting Trigger Mode to NORMAL, the Scan Mode
operation is turned off, and Holdoff can be adjusted at larger seconds/Div settings.

Characteristic Description
Trigger Coupling AC, DC, Noise Reject, High Frequency Reject, Low Frequency Reject
The External Trigger path does not have a DC blocking capacitor ahead of the trigger input circuit. The
rolloff associated with AC coupling happens after the input circuit. When attempting to trigger on an AC
signal that has a DC offset, care must be used to avoid overloading the input of the External Trigger
circuit. For signals that have a large DC offset, using Channel 1 or Channel 2 (and Channel 3 or Channel
4 for the TBS1154, TBS1104, and TBS1064) with AC coupling is preferred.

 Theory of Operation

Main Board
The Main board is also called the acquisition board. The Main board of the
4-channel oscilloscope is essentially two 2-channel oscilloscopes tied together
through a common microprocessor, and some special interconnects to support
combining the display and trigger systems. The focus of the Main board
discussion is the 2-channel system, with differences for the 4-channel models
noted as necessary.
At a minimum, the Main board contains attenuators, an amplifier ASIC, a
digitizer/trigger system ASIC, a signal processing/display/system services FGPA,
RAM, flash PROM, a system microprocessor, USB controller, USB RAM, system
communication RAM, and special power supplies. For a 4-channel oscilloscope,
the attenuators are duplicated. Most of the other aspects of the circuitry remain
unchanged.

Acquisition System Signals from the channel 1 and channel 2 and other input connectors pass through
attenuators and an AC-coupling switch to the amplifier ASIC. The Ext Trig input
has an abbreviated version of this path, lacking some of the attenuator settings
and the AC coupling switch.
The amplifier ASIC contains buffers and variable gain amplifiers, as well as
filters that provide 20 MHz bandwidth limiting. The task of the amplifier ASIC
is to convert from a 1 MΩ single-ended environment in the front end to a much
lower impedance differential (and thus less noise-sensitive) environment for the
acquisition process. The amplifier ASIC assures that the input signal is amplified
to a level that will allow the fullest possible use of the digitizer.
The acquisition ASIC contains samplers and peak detectors for each input
channel, a common amplifier, an A/D converter, and the trigger logic. The
digitized waveform samples are transferred to the processing and display FGPA.
In 4-channel systems, the two acquisition ASIC’s are interconnected so that a
trigger in one ASIC can cause a trigger on the other.
The processor system adds the microprocessor and flash PROM to the processing
and display system. The processor system interprets the front-panel control
changes detected by the display ASIC, provides control parameters based on
user setting requests, computes waveform measurements, and manages the USB
interfaces via the dedicated USB controller. Saved setups, waveforms, and
calibration constants are stored in nonvolatile memory sections within the flash
PROM. The processor system shares DRAM with the display system.

TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual 21

Theory of Operation

Processing and Display The processing and display system consists of the display ASIC, DRAM, and
System system oscillator. Digitized acquisition samples are received by the display
ASIC and stored in DRAM. Once data are received by the display ASIC, various
corrections are applied, display rasterization is performed, and the waveform is
placed in a display buffer. At the same time, the waveform is read from the display
buffers and written to the LCD. Additional circuitry in the display ASIC supports
scanning the front panel, handling DRAM refresh, providing the processor
clock, and performing various memory mapping tasks required by all elementary
microprocessor based systems. In a 4–channel system, the two display ASICs are
interconnected so that one ASIC can provide display information for the second.
The processing and display system handles some of the computational tasks.
Other tasks are performed by the processor system. Since all array processing
is performed in the processing and display system, no computations can be
performed that involve data from two different channel sets. Thus, subtracting
channel 3 data from channel 2 is prohibited. Channel 1 and Channel 2 data may
be combined in all of the supported ways.

Input Signal Interface BNC connectors are mounted on the Main board for all signal inputs. The signal
inputs are compatible with the supplied TPP0101 and TPP0201 probes.

Probe Compensation The Probe Comp and ground terminals are provided for probe adjustment.

External Trigger The Ext Trig channel is processed on the chain containing the highest numbered
normal input channel.

Main Board Power To support various functions on the Main board, several secondary power supplies
are generated. For the amplifier and acquisition ASICs, the Main board creates a
+2.5 V and -2.5 V supply. The +2.5 V supply is derived from the +3.3 V logic
supply. The -2.5 V supply is derived from the -4 V supply. One three-terminal
regulator provides +5 V for internal uses. A second three-terminal regulator
provides USB power to preclude USB faults from seriously disrupting operation
of the oscilloscope.

Power Supply
The main power supply module for these oscilloscopes is a wide input range
universal supply. It can provide about 25 W of power for the oscilloscope, while
allowing the input to run from about 90 V to 264 V. Input frequency ranges from
47 Hz to 440 Hz, which allows operation in virtually all countries in the world and
in several off-grid environments, such as power on military aircraft.
The secondary supplies from the power supply and the approximate current draws
are listed in a table with the associated connector pins on J101. (See Table 20.)

22 TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual

 Theory of Operation

The P2 connector uses 4 positions and 3 wires, which are +6 V, +3.3 V, and GND.
For information on voltages used in the oscilloscope, refer to the Troubleshooting
section of this manual.

Display Module
The color display module is a standard passive liquid crystal display (LCD).
The unit is patterned with 320 columns x 3 sub-columns by 240 rows and has
the associated drivers and backlight. The LED backlight output is about 75 mA
at 15.5 V.

Front Panel
Two-Channel You can manipulate all of the switches, and position encoders on the Front-Panel
Oscilloscopes board of 2-channel oscilloscopes. Several LEDs are used to indicate when the
Multipurpose knob is active, when Autorange is active, and when a Save action
is in progress. For more information on the LEDs, refer to the user manual for
your product.
An IC on the Front-Panel board provides buffering and multiplexing of switch
signals to the Main board. Two signals and a sense line are provided by the Main
board to support the front panel. One of these lines resets the scan; a second line
clocks the scan to the next position; and the sense line receives the current state of
the selected switch or encoder position.
For the encoders, some amount of debouncing occurs inside the front-panel IC.
All key debouncing is handled in the display FPGA on the Main board.
The LEDs are controlled by latching the value of the Channel 1 - 2 front-panel
scan counter when the appropriate scan value is set.

Four-Channel The Front-Panel board of the 4-channel units is effectively two panels in parallel.
Oscilloscopes The left side of the board is largely handled by the display FPGA for channels
1 and 2. The right side of the board is handled by the channel 3 and 4 ASIC.
Separate front-panel ICs support these data paths.

Performance Verification Procedures

Before beginning these procedures, two conditions must be met:
The oscilloscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the operating temperature range specified in the Environmental
Performance table. (See Table 9.)
You must perform the Self Calibration operation described below. If the
ambient temperature changes by more than 5 °C, you must perform the Self
Calibration operation again.
The time required to complete the entire procedure is approximately one hour.

WARNING. Some procedures use hazardous voltages. To prevent electrical

shock, always set voltage source outputs to 0 V before making or changing any
interconnections.

Self Test This internal procedure is automatically performed every time the oscilloscope
is powered on. No test equipment or hookups are required. Verify that no error
messages are displayed before continuing with this procedure.

Self Calibration The self calibration routine lets you quickly optimize the oscilloscope signal path
for maximum measurement accuracy. You can run the routine at any time, but you
should always run the routine if the ambient temperature changes by 5 °C or more.
1. Disconnect all probes and cables from the channel input connectors (channels
1, 2, and, for 4-channel models, channels 3 and 4).
2. Push the Utility button and select the Do Self Cal option to start the routine.
The routine takes approximately one minute to complete.
3. Verify that self calibration passed.

Check DC Gain Accuracy This test checks the DC gain accuracy of all input channels.

Check Vertical Position The results of this test and the DC Gain Accuracy test together define the DC
Accuracy Measurement Accuracy of the oscilloscope. The DC Measurement Accuracy
specification encompasses two different ranges of operation over two different
attenuator settings.
DC Gain Accuracy: Identifies errors, mostly from the A/D converter,
when the vertical position (known as offset in these oscilloscopes) is set to
0 divisions (or a grounded input will show screen center)
Vertical Position Accuracy: Identifies errors, mostly from the position control,
made when the vertical position is set to a non-zero value
The two attenuator settings operate identically, so verification of the attenuation
range from -1.8 V to 1.8 V also verifies the attenuation range of -45 V to 45 V.

Adjustment Procedure
The adjustment procedure consists of 70 steps for the 2-channel oscilloscope and
106 steps for the 4-channel model. Each step requires an external voltage source
for new calibration constants.
Before performing the adjustment procedure, warm up the oscilloscope for at least
ten minutes in an ambient temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C. Adjustments
performed before warm up or outside this temperature range may result in poor
performance.

TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual 39

Adjustment Procedures

If all steps in the procedure are completed successfully, a "Pass" message is

displayed and the new calibration constants take effect. If any step fails, the
procedure is aborted and the current calibration is not affected. You can choose
to abort the procedure at any step, without affecting the current calibration, by
selecting FCAL ABORT.

NOTE. While performing the adjustment procedure, keep in mind that some of the
steps take a significant amount of time (up to 5 minutes) to complete.

Equipment setups are shown in the following figure. (See Figure 4 on page 41.)
Signal requirements for each step are shown in the following table. (See Table 15
on page 43.)

When performing any service which requires internal access to the oscilloscope,
adhere to the following precautions. These precautions help you avoid damaging
internal modules and their components due to electrostatic discharge (ESD):
Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.
Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected containers
or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive modules.
Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules.
Service static-sensitive modules only at static-free workstations. Do not allow
anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the workstation
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.

Inspection and Cleaning

Inspection and cleaning are done as preventive maintenance. Preventive
maintenance, when done regularly, can prevent oscilloscope malfunction and
enhance its reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
oscilloscope, and using general care when operating it. How often you do
maintenance depends on the severity of the environment in which you use the
oscilloscope. A good time to perform preventive maintenance is just before
adjustment of the oscilloscope.

TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual 47

Maintenance

General Care For best performance, follow these recommendations:

Protect the oscilloscope from adverse weather conditions. The oscilloscope is
not waterproof.
Do not store or leave the oscilloscope where the liquid crystal display (LCD)
is exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity for long periods of time.
The front and rear cases help keep dust out of the oscilloscope and must be in
place during normal operation.
To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or probes, do not expose them to any
sprays, liquids, or solvents.

Interior Cleaning Use a dry, low-velocity stream of air to clean the interior of the chassis. Use a
soft-bristle, non-static-producing brush for cleaning around components. If you
must use a liquid for minor interior cleaning, use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
and rinse with deionized water.

WARNING. To avoid injury, power off the instrument and disconnect it from line
voltage before performing any procedure that follows.

Exterior Cleaning

CAUTION. Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents, which might damage the
plastics used in this oscilloscope. Use only deionized water when cleaning the
menu buttons or front-panel buttons. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution as a
cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Before using any other type of cleaner,
consult your Tektronix Service Center or representative.

Clean the exterior surfaces of the chassis with a dry lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle
brush. If any dirt remains, use a cloth or swab dipped in a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution. Use a swab to clean narrow spaces around controls and connectors.
Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the chassis that may damage the
chassis.

CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside the oscilloscope during external

cleaning, use only enough liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.

Clean the On/Standby switch using a dampened cleaning towel. Do not spray or
wet the switch directly.

48 TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual

 Maintenance

If the display is very dirty, moisten the wipe with distilled water or a 75%
isopropyl alcohol solution and gently rub the display surface. Avoid using excess
force or you may damage the plastic display surface.

Exterior Inspection Inspect the outside of the oscilloscope for damage, wear, and missing part. (See
Table 16.) Immediately repair defects that could cause personal injury or lead
to further damage to the oscilloscope.

Cleaning Procedure, To clean the oscilloscope interior, perform the following steps:
Interior 1. Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and then wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm deionized water. A cotton-tipped applicator is useful for cleaning in
narrow spaces and on circuit boards.
STOP. If, after performing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean on inspection, skip
steps 3, 4, and 5. Proceed with step 6.
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, all modules in the
oscilloscope except the Display Module and Front Panel Module may be
spray washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol.
During cleaning of the Acquisition board (Main board), make sure that
no residue is left in the attenuators. Debris or residue can cause several
problems with signal fidelity that cannot be corrected by calibration.
When handling the board, avoid handling the attenuators since skin oils
may cause problems.
Extensive cleaning of the Display Module is difficult because water must
not be trapped between the display shield and the display. The polarizers
integrated into the display degrade with long-term exposure to water. The
display shield and display must be replaced as an assembly if significant
moisture or debris become trapped inside. Cotton tipped applicators and

50 TBS1000 Series Oscilloscope Service Manual

 Maintenance

lint-free rags moistened in isopropyl alcohol and/or deionized water offer

the best cleaning with the least opportunity for damage to the assembly.
The Front-Panel module can be damaged by deposition of film or debris
inside the knob encoders. To avoid this, be careful not to drip liquid or
blow debris into the encoders.
4. Spray wash dirty parts with the 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and wait
60 seconds for the majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
5. Use hot (49 °C to 60 °C / 120 °F to 140 °F) deionized water to thoroughly
rinse the parts.
6. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air.
7. Dry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment using
low-temperature (52 °C to 66 °C / 125 °F to 150 °F) circulating air.

Lubrication. Periodic lubrication is not required for the oscilloscope.

Probe Comp Output When the oscilloscope is on and operating properly, the Probe Comp output
should generate a square wave, approximately 5 V in amplitude, at a 1 kHz
frequency. Use the oscilloscope and use a 10X TPP0101 or TPP0201 probe to
probe this output.

As shown in the following table, there are two cases of defects. Either the 1 kHz
signal is on and the power supply and Main board are both active and functionally
capable of doing acquisition, or one of those two modules is not performing
correctly. While many different possible frequencies exist, all involve detected
failures on the Main board due to Main board failure or power supply failure.

Running Diagnostics The oscilloscope runs an extensive self-diagnostic routine at every power-on.
Running the diagnostics from the Service menu will provide no additional
information and therefore is not needed. The menu selections are only used during
manufacturing of the oscilloscope.

Troubleshooting Input Follow these steps to troubleshoot the input connections only if the oscilloscope
Connections appears to function normally in every way, but an input signal is not getting into
the oscilloscope as expected.

 Maintenance

1. Remove the rear case. (See page 56, Rear Case.)

2. Check that the coaxial connections to the back side of the BNC connectors are
intact. Use the DMM to measure continuity from the front side of the BNC
connector to the point where it attaches to the Main board.

NOTE. The ground side of the BNC has three connections (two mounting lugs
and one signal wire) while the center connection has one. Incomplete or poor
connection of the ground side may cause AC signal quality problems without
affecting DC measurement capability.

3. If no problem is found and the trouble persists, the Main board is probably
defective in some way that the internal diagnostics cannot detect. Replace it.

Troubleshooting the USB To troubleshoot the USB interface, if the acquisition is working, and the USB is
Interface not, replace the Main board.
