Required Test Equipment

In addition to the performance verification fixture and accessories, you will need
the test equipment listed in Table 2 and the performance verification software to
run the performance verification and certification procedures. This equipment
must be ordered separately from the performance verification test fixture.
The performance verification software is available on the TLA Application CD
that comes with your Tektronix logic analyzer. The software must be installed on
the hard disk of your Tektronix logic analyzer mainframe before you can use it.
Refer to the TLA5000 Series Logic Analyzer Mainframe Service Manual
(TLACAL1 fixture) or the TLA7Axx Logic Analyzer Module Service Manual
(TLACAL2 fixture) for instructions on installing and using the software.

Installation Instructions
This section describes line fuse and power cord information for both TLACAL1
and TLACAL2 test fixtures. For detailed installation instructions, connection
procedures, and operation procedures, refer to the TLA5000 Series Logic
Analyzer Mainframe Service Manual (TLACAL1 fixture) or the TLA7Axx Logic
Analyzer Module Service Manual (TLACAL2 fixture).

Line Fuse Information Check that the line fuse is correct for your application; see Table 4. The fuse and
line cord connector are located at the back of the instrument.

WARNING. To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the power cord before removing
the line fuse.

Table 4: TLACAL2 line fuses

Line voltage Description Tektronix part number

100 V to 120 V operation 5.0 mm x 20 mm, 1.0 A FAST 250 V 159-0356-00
200 V to 240 V operation 5.0 mm x 20 mm, 0.5 A FAST 250 V 159-0351-00

Setting the Line Voltage or The line voltage is properly set at the factory. If you need to change the line
Replacing a Fuse voltage setting, complete the following steps:
1. Disconnect the power cord at the rear of the instrument.
2. Locate the line selector/fuse holder at the rear of the instrument. The voltage
setting appears in the small window on the line selector.
3. Note the fuse setting, either 115 V or 230 V. If you need to change the line
voltage selection or if you need to change the line fuse, continue with the
following steps.
4. Pry open the latch over the line voltage selector with a small flat-blade
screwdriver.
5. Remove the red fuse holder with the flat-blade screwdriver.
6. Remove the fuse. If you are replacing a blown fuse, install the fuse holder
and fasten the latch in place.
7. Remove the conversion clip from its current location and install it on the
other side of the fuse holder.
8. Turn the fuse holder over.
9. Install the new fuse into the holder (see Table 4 for fuse information).

10. Install the fuse holder.

11. Fasten the latch in place.

Connecting the Line Cord Connect the line cord to the rear of the instrument. Connect the other end of the
line cord to the appropriate power connector.

Additional Installation and Refer to the Performance Verification chapter of the TLA5000 Series Logic
Operating Instructions Analyzer Mainframe Service Manual (TLACAL1 fixture) or the TLA7Axx Logic
Analyzer Module Service Manual (TLACAL2 fixture) for detailed installation
instructions, connection procedures, and operation procedures.

CAUTION. Do not connect or disconnect any ribbon cables, module interface

cards, or the probe interface card to or from the test fixture while power is
applied. Doing so will damage the fixture, the module interface cards, or the
probe interface card. Refer to the TLA7Axx Logic Analyzer Module Service
Manual for complete installation instructions.

Performance Verification Fixture Service

Both the TLACAL1 and TLACAL2 fixtures are calibrated at the factory. No
additional calibration is required. If your fixture requires servicing or calibration
you must return the fixture and all accessories to Tektronix.

Preventive Maintenance
Preventive maintenance mainly consists of periodic cleaning. Periodic cleaning
reduces instrument breakdown and increases reliability. Clean the instrument as
needed, based on the operating environment. Dirty conditions may require more
frequent cleaning than computer room conditions.
Clean the exterior surfaces with a dry, lint-free cloth or a soft-bristle brush. If dirt
remains, use a cloth or swab dampened with a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution. A
swab is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces around the controls and connectors.
Do not use abrasive compounds on any part of the instrument.

8 TLACAL1 & TLACAL2 Performance Verification Fixture

 TLACAL1 & TLACAL2 Performance Verification Fixture Instructions

CAUTION. Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning;
use only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.
Use only deionized water when cleaning. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol solution
as a cleanser and rinse with deionized water.
Do not use chemical cleaning agents; they may damage the instrument. Avoid
chemicals that contain benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents.
