Safety

Please take a moment to review these safety precautions. They are for your

protection and to prevent damage to the digitizing oscilloscope. This safety

information applies to all operators and service personnel.

These two terms appear in manuals:

statements identify conditions or practices that could result in

damage to the equipment or other property.

statements identify conditions or practices that could result in

personal injury or loss of life.

These two terms appear on equipment:

CAUTION

indicates a personal injury hazard not immediately accessible

as one reads the marking, or a hazard to property including the equip-

ment itself.

DANGER

indicates a personal injury hazard immediately accessible as

one reads the marking.

This symbol appears in manuals:

Static-Sensitive Devices

These symbols appear on equipment:

DANGER

Protective

ground (earth)

terminal

ATTENTION

Refer to

manual

Symbols and Terms

Safety

Observe all of these precautions to ensure your personal safety and to pre-

vent damage to either the digitizing oscilloscope or equipment connected to it.

Power Source

The digitizing oscilloscope operates from a power source that will not apply

more than 250 V

rms

between the supply conductors or between either supply

conductor and ground. A protective ground connection, through the grounding

conductor in the power cord, is essential for safe system operation.

Grounding the Digitizing Oscilloscope

The digitizing oscilloscope is grounded through the power cord. To avoid

electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly wired receptacle where

earth ground has been verified by a qualified service person. Do this before

making connections to the input or output terminals of the digitizing oscillo-

scope.

Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the digitizing oscillo-

scope are potential shock hazards. This includes knobs and controls that may

appear to be insulators.

Use the Proper Power Cord

Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only a

power cord that is in good condition.

Use the Proper Fuse

To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your

product, matched by type, voltage rating, and current rating.

Do Not Remove Covers or Panels

To avoid personal injury, do not operate the digitizing oscilloscope without the

panels or covers.

Take Antistatic Precautions

Wear an antistatic grounding wrist strap when working with the input connec-

tors on the digitizing oscilloscope.

Electric Overload

Never apply to a connector on the digitizing oscilloscope a voltage that is

outside the range specified for that connector.

Specific Precautions

Safety

Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmospheres

The digitizing oscilloscope provides no explosion protection from static dis-

charges or arcing components. Do not operate the digitizing oscilloscope in

an atmosphere of explosive gases.

Performance Verification

Procedures

TDS 820 Performance Verification

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 1 MHz Test Signal output at the rear panel as

a test-signal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions

properly. Standard-accessory SMA cables, included with this oscilloscope, are

the only equipment required.

Besides the

Brief Procedures,

the set of procedures that can be used to verify

oscilloscope performance includes the

Performance Tests,

found later in this

section. You may not need to perform all of these procedures, depending on

what you want to accomplish:

To rapidly confirm that this oscilloscope functions and was adjusted

properly, just do the procedures under

Self Tests

, which begin on

page 1-3.

Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external

equipment or signal sources, and perform extensive functional and accu-

racy testing to provide high confidence that the oscilloscope will perform

properly. They can be used as a quick check before making a series of

important measurements.

To further check functionality, first do the

Self Tests

just mentioned; then

do the procedures under

Functional Tests

that begin on page 1-5.

Advantages: These procedures require minimal additional time to per-

form, require no additional equipment other than standard-accessory

SMA cables, and more completely test the internal hardware of this

oscilloscope. They can be used to quickly determine if the oscilloscope is

suitable for putting into service, such as when it is first received.

If more extensive confirmation of performance is desired, do the

Perfor-

mance Tests

, beginning on page 1-11, after doing the

Functional

and

Self

Tests

just referenced.

Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifi-

cations. They require more time to perform and suitable test equipment is

required. (See

Equipment Required

on page 1-12.)

If you are not familiar with operating this oscilloscope, read

General Operating

Instructions

in Section 3 of this manual. These instructions will acquaint you

with the use of the front-panel controls and the menu system.

The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that this oscilloscope functions

properly. The only equipment required is one of the standard-accessory SMA

cables.

These procedures verify functions; that is, they verify that oscillo-

scope 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 divi-

sions”, etc., do

NOT

interpret the quantities given as limits. Operation

within limits is checked in

Performance Tests

, which begin on

page 1-11.

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 func-

tions. 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.

Verify All Input Channels

Equipment Required:

Three SMA cables and a T connector.

Prerequisites:
