While using this product, you may need to access other parts of a larger system. Read the safety sections of the other component manuals for warnings and cautions related to operating the system.

When incorporating this equipment into a system, the safety of that system is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.

To avoid fire or personal injury

Use proper power cord

Use only the power cord specified for this product and certified for the country of use. Do not use the provided power cord for other products.

Ground the product

This product is grounded through the grounding conductor of the power cord. To avoid electric shock, the grounding conductor must be connected to earth ground. Before making connections to the input or output terminals of the product, ensure that the product is properly grounded. Do not disable the power cord grounding connection.

Power disconnect

The power cord disconnects the product from the power source. See instructions for the location. Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the power cord; it must remain accessible to the user at all times to allow for quick disconnection if needed.

Connect and disconnect properly

Do not connect or disconnect probes or test leads while they are connected to a voltage source.

Use only insulated voltage probes, test leads, and adapters supplied with the product, or indicated by Tektronix to be suitable for the product.

Observe all terminal ratings

To avoid fire or shock hazard, observe all rating and markings on the product. Consult the product manual for further ratings information before making connections to the product.

Do not exceed the Measurement Category (CAT) rating and voltage or current rating of the lowest rated individual component of a product, probe, or accessory. Use caution when using 1:1 test leads because the probe tip voltage is directly transmitted to the product.

Do not apply a potential to any terminal, including the common terminal, that exceeds the maximum rating of that terminal.

Do not float the common terminal above the rated voltage for that terminal.

The measurement terminals on this product are not rated for connection to Category III or IV circuits.

Use only correct Measurement Category (CAT), voltage, temperature, altitude, and amperage rated probes, test leads, and adapters for any measurement.

Beware of high voltages

Understand the voltage ratings for the probe you are using and do not exceed those ratings. Two ratings are important to know and understand:

  • The maximum measurement voltage from the probe tip to the probe reference lead.
  • The maximum floating voltage from the probe reference lead to earth ground.

These two voltage ratings depend on the probe and your application. Refer to the Specifications section of the manual for more information.

WARNING:To prevent electrical shock, do not exceed the maximum measurement or maximum floating voltage for the oscilloscope input BNC connector, probe tip, or probe reference lead.

Connect and disconnect properly

Connect the probe output to the measurement product before connecting the probe to the circuit under test. Connect the probe reference lead to the circuit under test before connecting the probe input. Disconnect the probe input and the probe reference lead from the circuit under test before disconnecting the probe from the measurement product.

De-energize the circuit under test before connecting or disconnecting the current probe.

Connect the probe reference lead to earth ground only.

Do not connect a current probe to any wire that carries voltages or frequencies above the current probe voltage rating.

Inspect the probe and accessories

Before each use, inspect probe and accessories for damage (cuts, tears, or defects in the probe body, accessories, or cable jacket). Do not use if damaged.

Delta-time measurement accuracy, nominal
The formulas to calculate the peak-to-peak or rms nominal delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is as follows (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist frequency):

Where:

N = input-referred guaranteed noise limit (VRMS)

SR 1 = Slew Rate (1st Edge) around 1st point in measurement

SR 2 = Slew Rate (2nd Edge) around 2nd point in measurement

t p = delta-time measurement duration (sec)

TBA = timebase accuracy or Reference Frequency Error ±0.5 ppm

(Assumes insignificant error due to aliasing or over-drive.)

The term under the square root sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the first single-shot measurement to the final single-shot measurement).

Note:The formulas assume negligible errors due to measurement interpolation, and apply only when the interpolated sample rate is 25 GS/s or higher.

Performance verification procedures

This chapter contains performance verification procedures for the specifications marked with the ✔ symbol. The following equipment, or a suitable equivalent, is required to complete these procedures.

The performance verification procedures verify the performance of your instrument. They do not adjust your instrument. If your instrument fails any of the performance verification tests, repeat the failing test, verifying that the test equipment and settings are correct. If the instrument continues to fail a test, contact Tektronix Customer Support for assistance.

These procedures cover all 4 Series MSO instruments. Completion of the performance verification procedure does not update the instrument time and date.

Print the test records on the following pages and use them to record the performance test results for your oscilloscope. Disregard checks and test records that do not apply to the specific model you are testing.

The following table lists the required equipment. You might need additional cables and adapters, depending on the actual test equipment you use.

Performance tests

This section contains a collection of manual procedures for checking that the instrument performs as warranted. They check all the characteristics that are designated as checked in Specifications. (The characteristics that are checked appear with a ✔ in Specifications).

Prerequisites

The tests in this section comprise an extensive, valid confirmation of performance and functionality when the following requirements are met:

  • The instrument must be in its normal operating configuration (no covers removed).
  • You must have performed and passed the procedures under Self Test. (See Self test on page 167.)
  • A signal-path compensation must have been done within the recommended calibration interval and at a temperature within ±5 ºC (±9 ºF) of the present operating temperature. (If the temperature was within the limits just stated at the time you did the prerequisite Self Test, consider this prerequisite met). A signal-path compensation must have been done at an ambient humidity within 25% of the current ambient humidity and after having been at that humidity for at least 4 hours.
  • The instrument must have been last adjusted at an ambient temperature between +18 ºC and +28 ºC (+64 ºF and +82 ºF), must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and must be operating at an ambient temperature as listed in the specifications. The warm-up requirement is usually met in the course of meeting the Self Test prerequisites listed above.
  • The instrument must be powered from a source maintaining voltage and frequency within the limits described in the Specifications section.
  • The instrument must be in an environment with temperature, altitude, humidity, and vibration within the operating limits described in the Specifications section.

Self test

This procedure verifies that the instrument passes the internal diagnostics and performs signal path compensation. No test equipment or hookups are required.

Equipment required Prerequisites
None Power on the instrument and allow a 20 minute warm-up period before performing this procedure.
  1. Run the System Diagnostics (may take a few minutes).
    1. Disconnect all probes and/or cables from the oscilloscope inputs.
    2. Tap Utility > Self Test. This displays the Self Test configuration menu.
    3. Tap the Run Self Test button.
    4. The internal diagnostics perform an exhaustive verification of proper instrument function. This verification may take several minutes. When the verification is finished, the status of each self test is shown in the menu.
    5. Verify that the status of all tests is passed.
    6. Tap anywhere outside the menu to exit the menu.
  2. Run the signal-path compensation routine (may take 5 to 15 minutes per channel).
    1. Tap Utility > Calibration. This displays the Calibration configuration menu.
    2. Tap the Run SPC button to start the routine.
    3. Signal-path compensation may take 5 to 15 minutes to run per channel.
    4. Verify that the SPC Status is Passed.
  3. Return to regular service: Tap anywhere outside the menu to exit the Calibration menu.

The self test procedures are completed. If any of the above tests failed, run the tests again. If there are still failures, contact Tektronix Customer Support.

Note:You cannot run the remaining performance tests until the self tests pass and the SPC has successfully run.

Check AFG signal amplitude accuracy

This test verifies the amplitude accuracy of the arbitrary function generator. All output amplitudes are derived from a combination of attenuators and 3 dB variable gain. Some amplitude points are checked. This test uses a 50 Ω terminator. It is necessary to know the accuracy of the 50 Ω terminator in advance of this amplitude test. This accuracy is used as a calibration factor.

  1. Connect the 50 Ω terminator to the DMM as shown in the following figure and measure the resistance value.
