Adjustment Procedures
This section contains information needed to adjust the
TDS 500B, 600B and 700A Digitizing Oscilloscopes.
The Adjustment Procedures are divided into six subsections:
H General information about adjusting theTDS 500B, 600B, and 700A
Digitizing Ossilloscopes.
H A list of equipment required to perform the adjustments.
H The written procedures for installing and using both the
TDS 600B Adjustment Software and the TDS 700A Adjustment Software.
The TDS 700A Adjustment Software works with both the TDS 500B and the
TDS 700A oscilloscopes.
H The TDS 600B and the TDS 700A Adjustment Software (two disks) included
with this manual. The material found in the subsections listed above should
be read before using the adjustment software.
H A written procedure for manually adjusting the optional P6139A probe.
H A written procedure for manually adjusting the display assembly.
This procedure is used to return the digitizing oscilloscope to conformance with
its Warranted Characteristics as listed in Section 1, Specification. It can also be
used to optimize the performance of the oscilloscope.
As a general rule, these adjustments should be done every 2000 hours of
operation or once a year if the oscilloscope is used infrequently.
Requirements for Performance
Before you do this procedure, you need to address the following requirements.
This procedure is only to be performed by trained service technicians.
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.
