Preface
Manual Conventions
This manual uses certain conventions which you should become familiar with
before doing service.
Modules Throughout this manual, any replaceable component, assembly, or part of these
oscilloscopes is referred to generically as a module. In general, a module is an
assembly, like a circuit board, rather than a component, like a resistor or an
integrated circuit. Sometimes a single component is a module; for example, each
chassis part of the oscilloscope is a module.
Channels Some TDS models have two auxiliary channels called AUX 1 and AUX 2,
instead of CH 3 and CH 4. References to these channels default to CH 3 and
CH 4. If your oscilloscope is one of models TDS 520D, TDS 680C, or
TDS 724D, read AUX 1 and AUX 2 respectively for all references to CH 3 and
CH 4 in this manual.
Safety Symbols and terms related to safety appear in the Safety Summary found at the
beginning of this manual.
Symbols Besides the symbols related to safety, this manual uses the following symbols:
STOP. The stop labels information which must be read in order to correctly do
service and to avoid incorrectly using or applying service procedures.

Service Strategy
This manual contains all the information needed for periodic maintenance of the
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes. (Examples of
such information are procedures for checking performance and for readjustment.)
Further, it contains all information for corrective maintenance down to the
module level. This means that the procedures, diagrams, and other troubleshoot-
ing aids help isolate failures to a specific module, rather than to components of
that module. Once a failure is isolated, replace the module with a fresh unit
obtained from the factory.
All modules are listed in Mechanical Parts List. To isolate a failure to a module,
use the fault isolation procedures found in Section 6, Maintenance Information.
To remove and replace any failed module, follow the instructions in Removal and
Installation Procedures, also found in Section 6.

Feature TDS 600C TDS 500D, TDS 700D & TDS 714L
Trigger modes Modes include:
Edge, logic, and pulse.
User Interface
Use a combination of front-panel buttons, knobs, and on-screen menus to control
the many functions of the oscilloscope. The front-panel controls are grouped
according to function: vertical, horizontal, trigger, and special. Set a function you
adjust often, such as vertical positioning or the time base setting, directly by its
own front-panel knob. Set a function you change less often, such as vertical
coupling or horizontal mode, indirectly using a selected menu.
Menus Pressing one (sometimes two) front-panel button(s), such as vertical menu,
displays a main menu of related functions, such as coupling and bandwidth, at
the bottom of the screen. Pressing a main-menu button, such as coupling,
displays a side menu of settings for that function, such as AC, DC, or GND
(ground) coupling, at the right side of the screen. Pressing a side-menu button
selects a setting such as DC.

Specifications
Indicators On-screen readouts help you keep track of the settings for various functions,
such as vertical and horizontal scale and trigger level. Some readouts use the
cursors or the automatic parameter extraction feature (called measure) to display
the results of measurements made or the status of the instrument.
General Purpose Knob Assign the general purpose knob to adjust a selected parameter function. More
quickly change parameters by toggling the SHIFT button. Use the same method
as for selecting a function, except the final side-menu selection assigns the
general purpose knob to adjust some function, such as the position of measure-
ment cursors on screen, or the setting for a channel fine gain.
GUI The user interface also makes use of a GUI, or Graphical User Interface, to make
setting functions and interpreting the display more intuitive. Some menus and
status are displayed using iconic representations of function settings, such as
those shown here for full, 250 MHz and 20 MHz bandwidth. Such icons allow
you to more readily determine status or the available settings.
Horizontal System
There are three horizontal display modes: main only, main intensified, and
delayed only. You can select among various horizontal record length settings.
A feature called “Fit to Screen” allows you to view entire waveform records
within the 10 division screen area. Waveforms are compressed to fit on the
screen. See Table 1–2.
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Service Manual 1–3
Specifications
Both the delayed only display and the intensified zone on the main intensified
display may be delayed by time with respect to the main trigger. Both can be set
to display immediately after the delay (delayed runs after main mode). The
delayed display can also be set to display at the first valid trigger after the delay
(delayed-triggerable modes).
The delayed display (or the intensified zone) may also be delayed by a selected
number of events. In this case, the events source is the delayed-trigger source.
The delayed trigger can also be set to occur after a number of events plus an
amount of time.

Trigger System
The triggering system supports a varied set of features for triggering the
signal-acquisition system. Trigger signals recognized include:
H Edge (main- and delayed-trigger systems): This familiar type of triggering is
fully configurable for source, slope, coupling, mode (auto or normal), and
holdoff.
H Logic (main-trigger system): This type of triggering can be based on pattern
(asynchronous) or state (synchronous). In either case, logic triggering is
configurable for sources, for Boolean operators to apply to those sources, for
logic pattern or state on which to trigger, for mode (auto or normal), and for
holdoff. Time qualification may be selected in pattern mode. Another class
of logic trigger, setup/hold, triggers when data in one trigger source changes
state within the setup and hold times that you specify relative to a clock in
another trigger source.

Specifications
Acquisition Control
You can specify a mode and manner to acquire and process signals that matches
your measurement requirements.
H Select the mode for interpolation (linear or sin (x)/x). This can increase the
apparent sample rate on the waveform when the maximum real-time rate is
exceeded.
H Use sample, envelope, average and peak detect modes to acquire signals.
With the Oscilloscopes, also use high-resolution mode.
H Set the acquisition to stop after a single acquisition (or sequence of
acquisitions if acquiring in average or envelope modes) or after a limit
condition has been met.
H Select channel sources for compliance with limit tests. You can direct the
TDS to signal you or generate hard copy output either to a printer or to a
floppy-disk file based on the results. Also, you can create templates for use
in limit tests.

Specifications
Help Help displays operational information about any front-panel control. When help
mode is in effect, manipulating any front-panel control causes the oscilloscope to
display information about that control. When help is first invoked, an introduc-
tion to help is displayed on screen.
Autoset Autoset automatically sets up the oscilloscope for a viewable display based on
the input signal.
Measurement Assistance
Once you have set up to make your measurements, the cursor and measure
features can help you quickly make those measurements.
Cursor Three types of cursors are provided for making parametric measurements on the
displayed waveforms. Horizontal bar cursors (H Bar) measure vertical parame-
ters (typically volts). Vertical bar cursors (V Bar) measure horizontal parameters
(typically time or frequency). Paired cursors measure both amplitude and time
simultaneously. These are delta measurements; that is, measurements based on
the difference between two cursors.
Both H Bar and V Bar cursors can also be used to make absolute measurements.
For the H Bars, either cursor can be selected to read out its voltage with respect
to any channel’s ground reference level. For the V Bars, the cursors measure time
with respect to the trigger point (event) of the acquisition. The cursors can also
control the portion of the waveform on which automatic measurements are made.
For time measurements, units can be either seconds or hertz (for 1/time).
With the video trigger option installed (Option 05), you can measure the video
line number using the vertical cursors. You can measure IRE amplitude (NTSC)
using the horizontal cursors with or without the video trigger option installed.
Measure Measure can automatically extract parameters from the signal input to the
oscilloscope. Any four out of the 25 parameters available can be displayed to the
screen. The waveform parameters are measured continuously with the results
updated on-screen as the oscilloscope continues to acquire waveforms.

Specifications
Digital Signal Processing An important component of the multiprocessor architecture of this oscilloscope
(DSP) is Tektronix’ proprietary digital signal processor, the DSP. This dedicated
processor supports advanced analysis of your waveforms when doing such
compute-intensive tasks as interpolation, waveform math, and signal averaging.
It also teams with a custom display system to deliver specialized display modes
(See Display, later in this description).
Storage
Acquired waveforms may be saved in any of four nonvolatile REF (reference)
memories or on a 3.5 inch, DOS 3.3-or-later compatible disk. Any or all of the
saved waveforms may be displayed for comparison with the waveforms being
currently acquired.
The Oscilloscopes instrument with option 2M can save waveforms to an internal
hard disk drive. Any or all of the saved waveforms may be displayed
for comparison with the waveforms being currently acquired.
The source and destination of waveforms to be saved may be chosen. You can
save any of the four channels to any REF memory or move a stored reference
from one REF memory to another. Reference waveforms may also be written
into a REF memory location via the GPIB interface.
I/O
The oscilloscope is fully controllable and capable of sending and receiving
waveforms over the GPIB interface (IEEE Std 488.1–1987/IEEE Std 488.2–1987
standard). This feature makes the instrument ideal for making automated
measurements in a production or research and development environment that
calls for repetitive data taking. Self-compensation and self-diagnostic features
built into the oscilloscope to aid in fault detection and servicing are also
accessible using commands sent from a GPIB controller.
The oscilloscope can also output copies of its display using the hardcopy feature.
This feature allows you to output waveforms and other on-screen information to
a variety of graphic printers and plotters from the TDS front panel, providing
hard copies without requiring you to put the TDS into a system-controller
environment.
You can make hardcopies in a variety of popular output formats, such as PCX,
TIFF, BMP, RLE, EPS, Interleaf, and EPS mono or color. You can also save
hardcopies in a disk file in any of the formats listed in the I/O section.

Specifications
The hardcopies obtained are based on what is displayed on-screen at the time
hardcopy is invoked. The hardcopies can be stamped with date and time and
spooled to a queue for printing at a later time. You can output screen information
via GPIB, RS-232-C, or Centronics interfaces.
Display
The TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes offer
flexible display options. You can customize the following attributes of your
display:

1 The range of real-time rates, expressed in samples/second, at which a digitizer samples signals at its inputs and stores
the samples in memory to produce a record of time-sequential samples.
2 The range of waveform rates for interpolated (or equivalent-time on the TDS 700D) waveform records.
3 The Waveform Rate (WR) is the equivalent sample rate of a waveform record. For a waveform record acquired by
real-time sampling of a single acquisition, the waveform rate is the same as the real-time sample rate; for a waveform
created by interpolation of real-time samples from a single acquisition or, on applicable products, the equivalent-time
sampling of multiple acquisitions, the waveform rate created is faster than the real time sample rate. For all these cases,
the waveform rate is 1/(Waveform Interval) for the waveform record, where the waveform interval (WI) is the time between
the samples in the waveform record.

the selected slope. The trigger point must not switch between opposite slopes on the waveform, and the display must not
“roll” across the screen on successive acquisitions. The TRIG’D LED stays constantly lighted when the SEC/DIV setting
is 2 ms or faster but may flash when the SEC/DIV setting is 10 ms or slower.

1 The limits given are for the ambient temperature range of 0_C to +30_C, TDS 694C 4_C to +30_C. Reduce the upper
bandwidth frequencies by 5 MHz for the TDS 600C or by 2.5 MHz for the TDS 500D/700D/714L for each _C above +30_C. For
the TDS 694C and TDS 794D reduce the upper bandwidth frequencies by 10 MHz for each _C above +30_C.
2 The numbers given are valid 0_C to +30_C and will increase as the temperature increases due to the degradation in
bandwidth. Rise time is calculated from the bandwidth. It is defined by the following formula:

BW (MHz) BW (MHz)
Note that if you measure rise time, you must take into account the rise time of the test equipment (signal source, etc.) that
you use to provide the test signal. That is, the measured rise time (RTm) is determined by the instrument rise time (RTi) and
the rise time of the test signal source (RTgen) according to the following formula:
RT m 2

1 The trigger position errors are typically less than the values given here. These values are for triggering signals having a
slew rate at the trigger point of ≥ 0.5 division/ns.
2 The waveform interval (WI) is the time between the samples in the waveform record. Also, see the footnote for the
characteristics Sample Rate Range or Interpolated Waveform Rates in Table 1–4, on page 1–12.
3 The minimum sensitivity for obtaining a stable trigger. A stable trigger results in a uniform, regular display triggered on the
selected slope. The trigger point must not switch between opposite slopes on the waveform, and the display must not
“roll” across the screen on successive acquisitions. The TRIG’D LED stays constantly lighted when the SEC/DIV setting is
2 ms or faster but may flash when the SEC/DIV setting is 10 ms or slower.
4 The minimum signal levels required for stable logic or pulse triggering of an acquisition, or for stable counting of
a DC-coupled, events-delay signal. Also, see the footnote for Sensitivity, Edge-Type Trigger, DC Coupled in this table.
(Stable counting of events is counting that misses no events and produces no extra, phantom events).
5 The minimum signal levels required for stable runt pulse triggering of an acquisition. Also, see the footnote for Sensitivity,
Edge-Type Trigger, DC Coupled in this table. (Stable counting of events is counting that misses no events).
6 The minimum signal levels required for stable pulse width or glitch triggering of an acquisition. Also, see the footnote for
Sensitivity, Edge-Type Trigger, DC Coupled in this table. (Stable counting of events is counting that misses no events).
7 For Logic, time between channels refers to the length of time a logic state derived from more than one channel must exist
to be recognized. For Events, the time is the minimum time between a main and delayed event that will be recognized if
more than one channel is used.
8 For Slew Rate Triggering, this is the minimum transition time, defined to be the time the user’s signal spends between the
two trigger threshold settings.
9 Active pulse width is the width of the clock pulse from its active edge (as defined in the Clock Edge selection in the Clock
Source menu) to its inactive edge. Inactive pulse width is the width of the pulse from its inactive edge to its active edge.
10 User Hold Time is the number selected by the user in the Hold Time Menu.

Installation
Memory Backup Power Memory modules with on-board batteries allow the TDS 500D, TDS 600C,
TDS 700D and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes to retain some types of data upon loss
of the AC power source. The stored adjustment constants, saved front-panel
settings, current front-panel settings (instrument status), and waveforms saved in
memory are retained.
The on-board batteries of the memory modules have a shelf life of about five
years. Partial or total loss of stored settings upon power on may indicate that the
memory modules need to be replaced.
Operating Environment
The following environmental requirements are provided to ensure proper
operation and long instrument life.
Operating Temperature Operate oscilloscopes where the ambient air temperature is from
4_ C to +45_ C (+40_ C for TDS 694C, +50_ C for the TDS 500D, 700D and
TDS 714L) with no diskette in the floppy drive. Store the oscilloscopes in
ambient temperatures from –22_ C to +60_ C with no diskette in the floppy
drive. After storage at temperatures outside the operating limits, allow the chassis
to stabilize at a safe operating temperature before applying power.
Ventilation Requirements The oscilloscopes are cooled by air drawn in and exhausted through their cabinet
side panels by an internal fan. To ensure proper cooling of the oscilloscope, allow
at least two inches clearance on both sides and 3/4 inch on the bottom of the
oscilloscope. (The feet on the bottom of the oscilloscope provide the required
clearance when set on flat surfaces.) The top of the oscilloscope does not require
ventilation clearance.
CAUTION. If air flow is restricted, the digitizing oscilloscope’s power supply may
temporarily shut down.
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Service Manual 2–3
Installation
Power On Upon power on, the oscilloscope runs a power-on self check. If it passes, the
oscilloscope displays a “passed” status message and a prompt to press CLEAR
MENU to continue. If it fails, the oscilloscope displays a diagnostic log that
identifies the area(s) that failed and a prompt to press CLEAR MENU to
continue. See Section 6, Maintenance, for information on diagnostics and fault
isolation.
Power Off
CAUTION. DO NOT power off the oscilloscope when either running a signal path
compensation or when doing any of the adjustments described in Section 5,
Adjustment Procedures. To do so might result in the loss of internally stored
adjustment constants.
In general, do not power off the instrument when doing operations that affect the
data types listed in Table 1–1. Wait for the instrument to finish the operation
when doing adjustments, saving waveforms, or saving setups.
Improper power off or unexpected loss of power to the oscilloscope can result in
the following corruptions of nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM). The following table
describes the messages displayed when power is restored after an abnormal
power off.

H Depending on the function it is assigned to control, the general purpose knob
may vary numerical readouts, position objects (cursors) on screen, or select
between icon-label settings that show up in side-menu labels.
H The general purpose knob has a readout area at the upper right corner of the
screen. (See Figure 2–1.) This readout always reflects the name and value of
the function that the general purpose knob is currently controlling.
H Whenever the general purpose knob assignment is changed, a knob icon
appears immediately to the left of the general purpose knob readout to notify
you of the assignment change. The icon is removed as soon as you use the
general purpose knob to change the value of the function it is assigned to.
H To assign the general purpose knob to control a function, display the menu
containing the function; then select the function. (Note that not all functions
can be controlled by the general purpose knob.)
H Whenever the menu is removed, the general purpose knob is not assigned
and doesn’t control any function. (An exception is the cursor function. If
cursors are turned on, removing the menu leaves the knob assigned to control
the cursors until reassigned by selecting another menu and function that uses
the knob.)
H When the SHIFT button is lighted, the general purpose knob becomes a
coarse adjustment. When the SHIFT button is not lighted, the general
purpose knob becomes a fine adjustment.
H The general purpose knob also has a SELECT button. This button is used to
toggle the knob between the control of either of the two cursors displayed
when H-bar or V-bar cursors are turned on in the cursor menu.

Theory of Operation
This section describes the electrical operation of the TDS 500D, TDS 600C,
TDS 700D and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes using the major circuit blocks or
modules.
This section has two main parts:
H Logic Conventions describes how logic functions are discussed and
represented in this manual.
H Module Overview describes circuit operation from a functional-circuit block
perspective.
Logic Conventions
The oscilloscopes contain many digital logic circuits. This manual refers to these
circuits with standard logic symbols and terms. Unless otherwise stated, all logic
functions are described using the positive-logic convention: the more positive of
the two logic levels is the high (1) state, and the more negative level is the low
(0) state. Signal states may also be described as “true” meaning their active state
or “false” meaning their nonactive state. The specific voltages that constitute a
high or low state vary among the electronic devices.
Active-low signals are indicated by a tilde prefixed to the signal name
(~RESET). Signal names are considered to be either active-high, active-low, or
to have both active-high and active-low states.
Module Overview
This module overview describes the basic operation of each functional circuit
block as shown in Figure 9-2.
General The TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes have four
channels. Each channel provides a calibrated vertical scale factor.
Input Signal Path A signal enters the oscilloscope through a probe connected to a BNC on the A10
Attenuator/Acquisition board.
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Service Manual 3–1
Theory of Operation
selected and the input is overloaded, the processor system switches the input to
the 1 MW position (on TDS models with 1 MW termination).
Probe Coding Interface. Probe coding interface signals pass through the attenuator
portion of the A10 Attenuator/Acquisition to the acquisition system, where they
are sensed and controlled.
Acquisition System. The acquisition system amplifies the input signals, samples
them, converts them to digital signals, and controls the acquisition process under
direction of the processor system. The acquisition system includes the trigger,
acquisition timing, and acquisition mode generation and control circuitry.
Voltage Controlled Oscillator (VCO). Master clocks for the acquisition system are
generated by the circuitry on the A10 Acquisition board. The circuitry makes up
a phase-locked loop. The master clock is divided down by the A10 Acquisition
circuitry under control of the processor system.
D1 Bus. The acquisition system passes the digital values representing the
acquired waveform through the A14 D1 Bus to the A11 DRAM Processor/Dis-
play board. This happens after a waveform acquisition is complete if the digital
signal processor in the processor system requests the waveform.
Display System. Text and waveforms are processed by different parts of the
display circuitry. The display system sends the text and waveform information to
the tube assembly as a video signal. The display system also generates and sends
vertical (VSYNC) and horizontal (HSYNC) sync signals to the tube assembly. A
VGA-compatible video output is at the rear of the TDS 500D, TDS 600C,
TDS 700D and TDS 714L.
Tube Assembly All information (waveforms, text, graticules, and pictographs) is displayed by the
A30/31/32 Display system. The A30 generates the high voltages necessary to
drive the display tube. It also contains the video amplifier, horizontal oscillator,
and the vertical and horizontal yoke driver circuitry.

Theory of Operation
Front Panel The processor system sends instructions to and receives information from the
Front Panel Processor on the A12 Front Panel board. The Front Panel Processor
reads the front-panel switches and potentiometers. Any changes in their settings
are reported to the processor system. The Front Panel Processor also turns the
LEDs on and off and generates the bell signal.
Front-panel menu switches are also read by the Front Panel Processor. The
processor sends any changes in menu selections to the processor system. The
ON/STBY switch is one of the menu switches. However, it is not read by the
Front Panel Processor, but passes through the A12 Front Panel board and the A11
DRAM Processor/Display board to the low voltage power supply.
The front panel also generates the probe compensation signals SIGNAL
and GND.
Rear Panel The GPIB connector provides access to stored waveforms and allows external
control of the oscilloscope.
You can make hardcopies on the GPIB, RS-232 and Centronics ports.
Low Voltage Power The low voltage power supply is a switching power converter with active power
Supply factor control. It supplies power to all of the circuitry in the oscilloscope.
The principal POWER switch, located on the rear panel, controls all power to
the oscilloscope including the Low Voltage Power Supply. The ON/STBY
switch, located on the front panel, also controls all of the power to the oscillo-
scope except for part of the circuitry in the Low Voltage Power Supply.
The power supply sends a power fail (~PF) warning to the processor system if
the power is going down.
Fan The fan provides forced air cooling for the oscilloscope. It connects to +25 V
from the Low Voltage Power Supply by way of the A11 DRAM Processor/Dis-
play module.

Brief Procedures
The Self Tests use internal routines to confirm basic functionality and proper
adjustment. No test equipment is required to do these test procedures.
The Functional Tests utilize the probe-compensation output at the front panel as
a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions properly.
A probe is required to do these test procedures.
Self Tests
This procedure uses internal routines to verify that the oscilloscope functions and
was adjusted properly. No test equipment or hookups are required.

Brief Procedures
Functional Tests
The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that the oscilloscope functions
properly. The only equipment required is one of the standard-accessory probes
and, to check the file system, a 3.5 inch, 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte floppy disk.
CAUTION. The P6243, P6245, P6249 and probes that can be used with this
oscilloscope provide an extremely low loading capacitance (<1 pF) to ensure the
best possible signal reproduction. These probes should not be used to measure
signals exceeding ±8 volts, or errors in signal measurement will be observed.
Above 40 volts, damage to the probe may result. To make measurements beyond
±10 volts, use either the P6139A probe (good to 500 volts peak), the P6339A
probe (for the TDS 694C & TDS 794D), or refer to the catalog for a recom-
mended probe.
STOP. These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify that the oscilloscope
features operate. They do not verify that they operate within limits.
Therefore, when the instructions in the functional tests that follow call for you to
verify that a signal appears on-screen “that is about five divisions in amplitude”
or “has a period of about six horizontal divisions,” etc., do NOT interpret the
quantities given as limits. Operation within limits is checked in Performance
Tests, which begin on page 4–17.
STOP. DO NOT make changes to the front-panel settings that are not called out
in the procedures. Each verification procedure will require you to set the
oscilloscope to certain default settings before verifying functions. If you make
changes to these settings, other than those called out in the procedure, you may
obtain invalid results. In this case, just redo the procedure from step 1.
When you are instructed to press a menu button, the button may already be
selected (its label will be highlighted). If this is the case, it is not necessary to
press the button.

the hard disk drive (hd0:), or the external Zip drive (Zip:). Then use the
general purpose knob to select the file to save. Save the file as in step e.
H Press the side-menu button Save To Selected File.
2. Verify the file system works:
H Press the main-menu button Recall Factory Setup and the side-menu
button OK Confirm Factory Init to restore the 500 ms time base and
the five cycle waveform.
H Press the main-menu button Recall Saved Setup; then press the
side-menu button From File.

Brief Procedures
H Turn the general purpose knob to select the file to recall. For example, if
you followed the instructions previously and saved the file to either the
floppy disk drive (fd0:), or the optional hard disk drive (hd0:), you had
the oscilloscope assign the name TEK00000.SET to your file.
H Press the side-menu button Recall From Selected File.
H Verify that the oscilloscope retrieved the saved setup from the disk. Do
this by noticing the horizontal SCALE for the M (main) time base is
again 200 ms and the waveform shows only two cycles just as it was
when you saved the setup.
3. Remove the test hookup:
H Disconnect the probe from the channel input and the probe-compensa-
tion terminals.
H Remove the floppy disk from the floppy disk drive.

Performance Tests
This section contains a collection of procedures for checking that the TDS 500D,
TDS 600C, TDS 700D, and TDS 714L Oscilloscopes perform as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in four logical groupings: Signal Acquisition System
Checks, Time Base System Checks, Triggering System Checks, and Output Ports
Checks. They check all the characteristics that are designated as checked in
Specifications. (The characteristics that are checked appear in boldface type
under Warranted Characteristics in Specifications).
STOP. These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the basic
procedures described on page 4–5. The basic procedures should be done first,
then these procedures performed if desired.
Prerequisites
The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of perform-
ance and functionality when the following requirements are met:
H The cabinet must be installed on the oscilloscope.
H You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Tests, found
on page 4–5, and those under Functional Tests, found on page 4–7.
H A signal-path compensation must have been done within the recommended
calibration interval and at a temperature within ±5_ C of the present
operating temperature. (If at the time you did the prerequisite Self Tests, the
temperature was within the limits just stated, consider this prerequisite met).
H The oscilloscope must have been last adjusted at an ambient temperature
between +20_ C and +30_ C, must have been operating for a warm-up
period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient tempera-
tures as follows: +4_ C to +40_ C for the TDS 694C, +4_ C to +45_ C for
other TDS 600C and 0_ C to +50_ C for the TDS 500D, TDS 700D, and
TDS 714L. (The warm-up requirement is usually met in the course of
meeting the Self Tests and Functional Tests prerequisites listed above).

Prerequisites See page 4–17
NOTE. The sine wave generator output amplitude must be leveled to within
0.35 db of the reference frequency (10 MHz) through the bandwidth frequency
listed in Table 4–4 on page 4–45. The 0.35 db requirement is necessary to ensure
a bandwidth that meets Tektronix specifications.
You can perform bandwidth PV using an unleveled sine wave generator (with
amplitude error > 0.35 db). Under these conditions, the bandwidth PV is subject
to the flatness errors associated with the generator used.
Refer to the Sine Wave Generator Leveling Procedure on page 4–94 if your sine
wave generator does not have automatic output amplitude leveling.

Adjustment Procedures
Purpose This procedure is used to return the oscilloscope to conformance with its
Warranted Characteristics as listed in Section 1, Specifications. It can also be
used to optimize the performance of the oscilloscope.
Adjustment Interval As a general rule, these adjustments should be done every 2000 hours of
operation or once a year if the oscilloscope is used infrequently.
Warm-Up Period This oscilloscope requires a 20 minute warm-up time in a 20_ C to 30_ C
environment before it is adjusted. Adjustments done before the operating
temperature has stabilized may cause errors in performance.
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Service Manual 5–1
Adjustment Procedures
Access Except when adjusting the display assembly, the cabinet is not removed. Instead,
you enable the internal adjustment constants of the oscilloscope to be written.
Two small holes in the chassis allow service personnel to insert a tool and push a
switch to enable or disable the writing of new adjustment constants to nonvolatile
RAM.
The procedure that follows will tell you how and when to enable and disable the
writing of adjustment constants. Be sure to disable the switch when you have
finished adjusting the oscilloscope.
System Adjustment of this oscilloscope requires a computer with hard drive, 3.5 inch
1.44 MByte floppy drive, and the following items:
For DOS software:
H An IBMR PCt compatible computer running DOS 3.2 or higher. A math
coprocessor is strongly recommended.
H 640K resident RAM with 580 K available RAM.
H A GPIB board — National InstrumentsR GPIB-PCII, GPIB-PCIIA or
GPIB-PCII/IIA. (A PC-GPIB Package that includes the PCII/IIA is
available — Tektronix part number S3FG210)
For Windows NT software:
H An Intel compatible computer running Windows NT.
H A GPIB board and software — National InstrumentsR AT–GPIB/TNT,
Windows NT (INTEL).
Test Equipment The equipment list, starting on page 5–5, lists all test equipment required to
adjust this oscilloscope.
Usage
The following topics cover what is required of you when adjusting the oscillo-
scope and what is done by the software. Also, the performance of individual
adjustments is discussed.
Performing the When using the adjustment software, you will not be required to manually adjust
Adjustments any circuits. As you run the calibration tests, the software adjusts the circuits
using external standards you provide in response to prompts on the computer
screen. Your role, then, is to provide those test signals and to prompt the
computer to continue.

Adjustment Procedures
Complete Adjustment A complete adjustment is the performance of all adjustments on the TDS 600C
Adjustment Software and the TDS 700D Adjustment Software, in sequence, plus
the P6139A probe adjustment (if you are using the P6139A probe).
Throughout this section, “complete adjustment” is used as just defined.
Individual Adjustments The adjustment software contains three classes of adjustments as shown in
Table 5–1. Each class contains one or more individual calibration tests and an
internal compensation routine (SPC). The Adjustment Software and the release
notes (on disk), provide you with instructions for running each of the tests.
All these software-based adjustments are made internally by the adjustment
software, and all adjustments can be done without removal of the oscilloscope
cabinet.
TDS 500D, TDS 600C, TDS 700D and TDS 714L Service Manual 5–3
Adjustment Procedures
Adjustment Dependencies Some adjustments depend on successful prior completion of other adjustments.
For example, all the tests associated with the Voltage Reference Adjustment class
must be passed before any other adjustments can be successfully completed.
Table 5–2 lists the adjustments and their dependencies.
Partial Adjustment The adjustment software will allow you to make individual adjustments.
However, usually all adjustments are made unless you are adjusting circuits in
the course of troubleshooting the oscilloscope. Read the information under
Complete Adjustment, Adjustment After Repair, and Adjustment Dependencies
before doing an individual adjustment.
Adjustment After Repair After the removal and replacement of a module due to electrical failure, you must
either do a complete adjustment or no adjustment at all, depending on the module
replaced. See Table 5–3.
1 Optionally, you may first do the complete performance verification (all procedures in
Chapter 4). If all procedures are passed, you can skip the complete adjustment; if any
procedures fail, you must do a complete adjustment.

Adjustment Procedures
b. If these settings conflict with your hardware setup, see your GPIB card
manual for alternate settings.
c. If you have more than one GPIB card installed, this adjustment software
assumes the first card (referenced 0). See your GPIB card manual for
information on how to determine which card is your “0” card.
Software Installation STOP. ALWAYS use this installation procedure when installing this software on a
new computer. This installation program uses parameters you supply (see step 2,
substep b) to create a custom start-up file on your hard disk directory. After
installation, the software will instruct you to run this start-up batch file whenever
you do software-based adjustments, so it can configure your computer properly
before it runs the adjustment program. Do not simply copy the software files from
one computer to another, since the start-up batch file you copy may not match the
computer you copy it to.
1. Create a working disk: Copy the Adjustment Software disk to a working disk.
2. Install the software to the hard disk:
a. Read the README and RELEASE.NTS files.
b. Insert your working disk in a floppy drive, change to that drive, and run
install. The software will ask you to specify the hard disk on which to
install the adjustment software. It will also prompt you to specify several
GPIB-card configuration parameters.
c. The adjustment software will be installed in a directory called
TDS600C.ADJ or TDS700D.ADJ on your hard drive.
3. Store your installation disks: Remove your working disk and store it and the
master disk in a secure place.

Maintenance
General Care The cabinet helps keep dust out of the oscilloscope and should normally be in
place when operating the oscilloscope. The oscilloscope’s front cover protects the
front panel and display from dust and damage. Install it when storing or
transporting the oscilloscope.
Inspection and Cleaning Inspect and clean the oscilloscope as often as operating conditions require. The
Procedures collection of dirt on components inside can cause them to overheat and break-
down. (Dirt acts as an insulating blanket, preventing efficient heat dissipation.)
Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause an oscilloscope
failure, especially under high-humidity conditions.
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.
Inspection — Exterior. Inspect the outside of the oscilloscope for damage, wear,
and missing parts, using Table 6–2 as a guide. Oscilloscopes that appear to have
been dropped or otherwise abused should be checked thoroughly to verify correct
operation and performance. Immediately repair defects that could cause personal
injury or lead to further damage to the oscilloscope.

Maintenance
Inspection — Interior. To access the inside of the oscilloscope for inspection and
cleaning, refer to the Removal and Installation Procedures in this section.
Inspect the internal portions of the oscilloscope for damage and wear, using Table
6–3 as a guide. Defects found should be repaired immediately.
If any electrical module is replaced, check Table 5–3 in Section 5 to see if it is
necessary to adjust the oscilloscope.
CAUTION. To prevent damage from electrical arcing, ensure that circuit boards
and components are dry before applying power to the oscilloscope.

Troubleshooting
This subsection contains information and procedures designed to help you isolate
faulty modules in the oscilloscope. If a module needs to be replaced, follow the
Removal and Installation Procedures located in this section.
Diagnostics
The oscilloscope has two levels of internal diagnostics that focus on verifying,
adjusting, and if need be, isolating faulty modules.
Both levels of internal diagnostics report any bad modules and/or interfaces. If a
bad module and/or interface is found, use the troubleshooting procedures in this
section to determine which module needs to be replaced.
The two levels of diagnostics are the short confidence set and the extended set
that tests the oscilloscope circuitry in depth and takes more time. At power on,
the oscilloscope automatically executes the short set. The extended set is optional
and is executed by using the following procedure:
Prerequisites: Power on the oscilloscope and allow a 20 minute warm-up before
doing this procedure.
1. Display the System diagnostics menu:
a. Press SHIFT; then press UTILITY.
b. Repeatedly press the main-menu button System until Diag/Err is
highlighted in the pop-up menu.
2. Run the System Diagnostics: Press the main-menu button Execute; then
press the side-menu button OK Confirm Run Test.
3. Wait: The internal diagnostics do an exhaustive verification of proper
oscilloscope function. This verification will take about two minutes. When
finished, the oscilloscope will display a report of any bad modules and/or
interfaces.

Troubleshooting
Firmware Updates
Oscilloscope firmware updates are easy to do. Simply install the firmware disks
on your PC and follow the instructions in the README file located on the first
disk.
NOTE. You must set the Protection switch to the unprotected position before
updating the Firmware. Figure 6–27 shows how to set the switch. After loading
the Firmware, be sure you set the switch back to the protected position and cycle
power.
