Protect the instrument from adverse weather conditions. The instrument is not
waterproof.
Do not store or leave the instrument where the LCD display will be exposed to
direct sunlight for long periods of time.
CAUTION. To avoid damage to the instrument, do not expose it to sprays, liquids,
or solvents.
Self Calibration
Use the Self Calibration property page to run self calibration procedures for the
instrument. You will want to run these procedures after repair. At a minimum, run
these procedures once a year.
Perform self-calibration after a 30 minute warm up.
Complete the following steps to run the self-calibration procedure:
1. From the System menu and select Calibration and Diagnostics.
2. Click the Self Calibration tab.
3. Select the instrument to calibrate.
4. Click the Run button.
Preventive Maintenance
Once a year the electrical performance should be checked and the instrument
accuracy certified (calibrated). This service must be performed by a qualified
service technician using the procedures outlined in the appropriate service manual
for the Tektronix Logic Analyzer product.
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.
17
Cleaning the Flat Panel

Display
The LCD flat panel is a soft plastic display and must be treated with care during
cleaning.
CAUTION. Improper cleaning agents or methods can damage the flat panel
display.
Do not use abrasive cleaners or commercial glass cleaners to clean the display
surface.
Do not spray liquids directly on the display surface.
Do not scrub the display with excessive force.
Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument while cleaning the display; use only
enough solution to dampen the wipe.
Clean the flat panel display surface by gently rubbing the display with a
cleanroom wipe (such as Wypall Medium Duty Wipes, #05701, available from
Kimberly-Clark Corporation).
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 Surfaces
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.
CAUTION. To avoid damaging the instrument, follow these precautions:
Avoid getting moisture inside the instrument during external cleaning and use
only enough solution to dampen the cloth or swab.
Do not wash the front-panel On/Standby switch. Cover the switch while washing
the instrument.
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.
Floppy Disk Drive
18
The floppy disk drive requires routine maintenance to operate at maximum

efficiency. The disks can be damaged if dirt and dust accumulate on the recording
surfaces. To prevent damage, store the disks in their protective containers where
they will not be exposed to dust or dirt. In addition, you must clean the disk
drive head periodically.
You will need a 3.5-inch floppy disk head-cleaning kit for routine maintenance.
Perform the routine maintenance as follows:
Clean the face of the floppy disk drive monthly with a dampened cloth.
CAUTION. Do not allow moisture to enter the disk drive. When power is applied,
the internal components can be damaged.
Clean the disk drive head monthly following the instructions provided with the
head-cleaning kit.
In Case of Problems
This section provides information to help you address problems you may
encounter while installing and using your logic analyzer.
Diagnostics
The logic analyzer runs power-on diagnostics every time you power on the
instrument. You can view the results of the diagnostics by selecting Calibration
and Diagnostics from the System menu. You can run more detailed diagnostics by
selecting Extended diagnostics. Here you can run all tests, loop on one or more
tests, or loop on a test until a failure occurs.
The following diagnostic tools are available with your logic analyzer:
Power-On Diagnostics. Power-on diagnostics run when you turn on the logic
analyzer, or when you start the TLA or the pattern generator application. If any
diagnostic failures occur during turn on, the Calibration and Diagnostics property
page appears.
Extended Diagnostics. Extended diagnostics test the logic analyzer more
thoroughly than the power-on diagnostics. You can use the extended diagnostics
to isolate problems to an individual module.
Before running the extended diagnostics, disconnect any attached probes.
TLA Mainframe Diagnostics. The TLA mainframe diagnostics program is a
stand-alone application. These diagnostics check the operation of the mainframe
beyond the basic PC circuitry. These diagnostics also check the front-panel knobs
of the instrument.
Other Diagnostic Software. Other diagnostic software may be installed on your
instrument and accessible from the Windows Start menu. This diagnostic software
may vary depending on your instrument. Use the online help that comes with
19
the diagnostic software or check with your local Tektronix representative for
additional information on troubleshooting instrument problems.
Software Problems
Your logic analyzer comes with most software installed. Before running any of
the diagnostics, check the online release notes to verify that the logic analyzer
software is compatible with the module firmware.
Many software problems can be due to corrupted or missing software files. In
most cases the easiest way to solve software problems is to reinstall the software
and follow the on-screen instructions. (See page 11, Restoring and Installing
Software.)
If you suspect problems with the application software, contact your local
Tektronix representative.
Hardware Problems
If you are certain that you have installed the logic analyzer correctly, run the
extended diagnostics (located under the System menu) to identify any problems.
If your logic analyzer powers up so that you have access to the desktop, run any
other diagnostic software on your instrument to identify possible problems.
Network Connection
Problems
Version 5.0 or higher of the TLA application software allows you to connect
your instrument to a network where you can control the instrument from a PC.
Verify that the PC and the logic analyzer are connected to the network. The TLA
application software must be installed on the PC and the logic analyzer. The TLA
server must be running on the logic analyzer.
Complete the following steps to start the TLA server:
1. On the logic analyzer, click Start Programs Tektronix Logic Analyzer
TLA Server. An icon with a red circle appears in the toolbar.
2. Right-click the TLA Server icon and select Start TLA Server. The red circle
disappears indicating the server is running.
Check with your system administrator to address other network problems.
