Delta-time measurement accuracy, typical

The formula to calculate delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is given below (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist)

SR1 = Slew Rate (1st Edge) around 1st point in measurement

SR2 = Slew Rate (2nd Edge) around 2nd point in measurement

N = input-referred guaranteed noise limit. If Ntyp is what's specified, then N is computed by multiplying Ntyp by some scale factor (e.g., 1.5)

TBA = timebase accuracy or Reference Frequency Error +/-5 ppm

tp = delta-time measurement duration (sec)



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 5 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.

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.
  • To access the user interface on the MSO58LP, connect a monitor to a video port on the rear of the instrument, and connect a mouse to any USB Host port. You do not need to connect a mouse if your remote monitor is touch-capable. You can also remotely access the user interface of a network-connected instrument by entering the instrument's IP address in a web browser that has access to the same network, and selecting the Instrument Control (e*Scope) link on the displayed page.

  • To programmatically run performance verification procedures on an MSO58LP, see the 5 Series MSO MSO54, MSO56, MSO58, MSO58LP Programmer Manual (Tektronix part number 077-1305-xx) for command syntax information.

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.

To access the MSO58LP user interface, see Prerequisites.

  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 input impedance

This test checks the input impedance on all channels.

To access the user interface on the MSO58LP, see Prerequisites.

  1. Connect the output of the oscilloscope calibrator (for example, Fluke 9500) to the oscilloscope channel 1 input, as shown in the following illustration.
    WARNING:Be sure to set the generator to Off or 0 volts before connecting, disconnecting, and/or moving the test hookup during the performance of this procedure. The generator is capable of providing dangerous voltages.
    Note:Impedance measuring equipment that produces a voltage across the channel that exceeds the measurement range of the instrument may report erroneous impedance results. A measurement voltage exceeds the measurement range of the instrument when the resulting trace is not visible on the graticule.


  2. Set the calibrator to measure 1 MΩ impedance.
  3. Tap File > Default Setup.
  4. Test 1 MΩ input impedance.

    1. Tap the channel 1 button on the Settings bar.
    2. Double tap the Ch 1 badge to open its menu.
    3. Set Termination to 1 MΩ.
    4. Set the Vertical Scale to the value to test in the test record (first value is 10 mV/div).
  5. Use the calibrator to measure the input impedance of the oscilloscope and enter the value in the test record.
  6. Repeat steps 4.d and 5 for all vertical scale settings in the test record for the channel.
  7. Test 50 Ω input impedance as follows:
    1. Set the calibrator impedance to measure 50 Ω impedance.
    2. Double-tap the Ch 1 badge and set Termination to 50 Ω.
    3. Repeat steps 4.d through 6 for all vertical scale settings in the test record for the channel.
  8. Repeat the procedures for all remaining channels.
