Pulse Width Trigger

Pulse Width Trigger modes Trigger when < (Less than), > (Greater than), = (Equal), or ≠ (Not Equal);
Positive pulse or Negative pulse.
Pulse Width Trigger Point Equal: The oscilloscope triggers when the trailing edge of the pulse crosses the trigger level.
Not Equal: If the pulse is narrower than the specified width, the trigger point is the trailing
edge. Otherwise, the oscilloscope triggers when a pulse continues longer than the time
specified as the Pulse Width.
Less than: The trigger point is the trailing edge.
Greater than (also called time-out trigger): The oscilloscope triggers when a pulse continues
longer than the time specified as the Pulse Width.

Signal Source Pulse Width/ Edge Trigger: all available trigger sources.
Frequency Counter measures trigger source at all times, including when the oscilloscope
acquisition is halted due to changes in the run status, or acquisition of a single shot event
has completed.
Pulse Width Trigger: The oscilloscope counts pulses of significant magnitude inside the 250
ms measurement window that qualify as triggerable events, such as narrow pulses in a PWM
pulse train if set to < mode and the width is set to a relatively small time.
Edge Trigger: The oscilloscope counts all edges of sufficient magnitude and correct polarity.
Video Trigger: The Frequency Counter does not operate.

Attach Reference Leads Correctly

NOTE. You must attach the probe reference lead for each channel directly to your
circuit. These attachments are required because the oscilloscope channels are
electrically isolated; they do not share a common connection. Use the shortest
possible reference lead with each probe to maintain good signal fidelity.

The probe reference lead presents a higher capacitive load to the circuit under
test than the probe tip. When taking a floating measurement between two nodes
of a circuit, attach the probe reference lead to the lowest impedance or least
dynamic of the two nodes.

Theory of Operation

Acquisition Board
The Acquisition board of the TPS2000 Series four-channel oscilloscope is
essentially a dual, two-channel oscilloscope tied together through a common
microprocessor, and some special interconnects. This allows the combining of
the display and trigger systems. For this reason, the focus of the Acquisition
board discussion will be on the two-channel system, with differences noted as
necessary.
At a minimum, the Acquisition board contains the following components:
H Attenuators
H ASIC amplifier
H Isolation circuit
H Digitizer--trigger system ASIC
H Signal-processing/display/system services ASIC
H RAM
H FLASH ROM
H Microprocessor
H Internal peripheral interface
H Power supplies
For a four-channel oscilloscope, the attenuators and ASICs are duplicated. Most
of the other aspects of the circuitry remain unchanged.

Acquisition System Signals from the CH 1, CH 2, and other input connectors pass through attenua-
tors and an AC-coupling switch to the amplifier ASIC. The EXT TRIG input
uses an abbreviated version of this path, without some of the attenuator settings
and the AC coupling switch.
The amplifier ASIC contains buffers and variable gain amplifiers, as well as
filters that provide 20 MHz bandwidth limiting. The task of the amplifier ASIC is
to convert from a 1 MΩ single-ended environment in the input to a much lower
impedance differential (and thus less noise-sensitive) environment for the
isolation and acquisition process. The amplifier ASIC assures that the input
signal is amplified to approximately the correct level to allow the fullest possible
use of the isolation circuit and digitizer.
The isolation circuit uses a modulation clock to transfer the input signal across
the isolation boundary via an isolation transformer. The input signal is demodu-

3-- 2 TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual

 Theory of Operation

lated and sent to the acquisition ASIC. Control of the amplifier ASIC across the
isolation boundary is provided by an optocoupler. Power is provided to each
amplifier ASIC and associated circuits by an isolated switching power supply,
dedicated to each channel
Each acquisition ASIC contains samplers and peak detectors, an amplifier, an
A/D converter, and the trigger logic. The digitized waveform samples are
transferred to the processing and display ASIC. In four-channel systems, the two
acquisition ASICs are interconnected so that a trigger on one ASIC can produce a
trigger on the other.
The processor system adds the microprocessor and FLASH ROM to the
processing and display system. The processor system interprets the front-panel
control changes detected by the display ASIC, provides control parameters based
upon user setting requests, computes waveform measurements, and manages the
internal and external peripherals. Saved setups, waveforms, and calibration
constants are stored in nonvolatile memory (NVRAM). The processor system
shares DRAM with the display system.

Processing and Display The processing and display system consists of the display ASIC, DRAM, and
System system oscillator. Digitized acquisition samples are received by the display ASIC
and stored in DRAM. Once data are received by the display ASIC, various
corrections are applied, display rasterization is performed, and the waveform is
placed into a display buffer. At the same time, the waveform is being read from
the display buffers and written to the LCD. Additional circuitry in the display
ASIC supports scanning of the front panel, provides DRAM refresh, processes
the clock, and performs various memory mapping tasks required by all elementa-
ry microprocessor-based systems. In a four-channel system, the two display
ASICs are interconnected so that one ASIC may provide display information for
the second.
The processing and display system handles some of the computational tasks.
Other tasks are performed by the processor system. Since all array processing is
performed in the processing and display system, no computations can be
performed that involve data from two different channel sets. Thus, subtracting
channel 3 data from channel 2 is prohibited.

Probe Compensation The PROBE COMP and ground terminals are provided for probe adjustment.

Acquisition Board Power The IO board supplies the Acquisition board with 5.0, 3.0, 3.3, and 15 VDC.
These sources are used directly or as sources for other converters on the
Acquisition board. The Acquisition board supplies 35 volts used for LCD bias
and for series-strings of LEDs on the front panel for button illumination. The
LCD bias varies the contrast, and is temperature compensated by a thermistor
mounted on the front panel.

TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual 3-- 3

Theory of Operation

Power Supply and Battery System

The IO board accepts the power input for the oscilloscope from either a 15 VDC
external supply or from one of two internal Lithium-Ion battery packs. The
battery packs are SMBus compliant and user replaceable.
A microcontroller manages the routing of power from the DC input and the 2
battery packs. It also manages the charging of batteries and communication to the
Acquisition board.
The instrument cooling fan is powered by the IO board. The fan can be switched
on and off, having its voltage varied by signals from the Acquisition board.
Power for the LCD backlight inverter board is supplied by the IO board. A
dimming voltage, derived from a PWM pulse train and RC low-pass filter,
controls the brightness of the backlight.
RS-232 and Parallel port signals are passed from the Acquisition board through
the IO board to their rear-mounted connectors.

Display Module
The Liquid Crystal Display pattern consists of 320 columns with 3 subcolumns
and 240 rows, and has associated drivers and a backlight. The backlight is based
upon a 5 mA top-light fluorescent tube.

Front Panel

Two-Channel All switches, position encoders, and LEDs are mounted on the Front Panel board
Oscilloscopes of the two-channel oscilloscope. Additionally, an IC on this board provides
buffering and multiplexing of switch signals for the Acquisition board. (Two
signals and a sense line are provided by the Acquisition board to support the
front panel.) One of these lines resets the scan; a second clocks the scan to the
next position; and the sense line receives the current state of the selected switch
or encoder position.
For the encoders, some amount of debouncing occurs inside the front-panel IC.
All key debouncing is handled in the display ASIC on the Acquisition board.

3-- 4 TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual

 Theory of Operation

Four-Channel The Front Panel board for four-channel oscilloscopes is effectively two front
Oscilloscopes panels in parallel. The left side of the board is largely handled by the display
ASIC for channels 1 and 2. The right side of the board is handled by the channel
3 and 4 ASIC. Separate front-panel ICs support these data paths.

LEDs The front panel contains three LEDs that light to indicate when the Save,
Autorange controls , or the multipurpose knob are active. In addition, most
buttons have a LED behind them for illumination in low-light conditions. Button
illumination can be turned off in the Utility menu.

Internal Peripherals The Acquisition board includes an FPGA that manages communication between
the microprocessor and the internal program memory (FLASH), RTC (Real-Time
Clock), battery system, and temperature sensor. The temperature sensor is used
for fan control.

External Peripherals The Acquisition board FPGA also manages communication between the
microprocessor and external RS-232 port, Printer Port, and Compact FLASH
Card.

Adjustment Procedures

Adjustment Procedure
The adjustment procedure consists of multiple steps for the two-channel
oscilloscope, and additional steps for the four-channel model. Each step requires
an external voltage source for new calibration constants.
Before performing the adjustment procedure, you must warm up the oscilloscope
for at least ten minutes in an ambient temperature between 20 °C and 30 °C.
Adjustments performed prior to warm-up or outside this temperature range may
result in poor performance.
If all steps in the procedures are completed successfully, a “Pass” message is
displayed and the new calibration constants take affect. If any step fails, the
procedure is aborted and the current calibration is not affected. You can choose to
abort the procedures at any step by selecting FCAL ABORT without affecting
the current calibration.

NOTE. While performing the adjustment procedure, keep in mind that some of the
steps take a significant amount of time (up to 5 minutes) to complete.

The equipment setups, shown in Figure 5--1, are required to complete the
adjustment procedure. Table 5--2 on page 5--5 lists the steps in the procedure
and the signal requirement for each step.

Enable the Service Menu You must enable the Service menu to perform the adjustment procedure.
1. Power on the oscilloscope.
2. Push the front-panel MEASURE button to access the MEASURE menu.
3. Push the top option button to access the Measure 1 menu.

4. Push and hold the front-panel SINGLE SEQ button.

5. Push and hold the front-panel AUTOSET button.
6. Wait at least two seconds.
7. Release the SINGLE SEQ button.
8. Release the AUTOSET button. A message appears in the lower left corner
of the screen stating “Service mode ON.”

Maintenance

This chapter contains the information needed to perform periodic and corrective
maintenance on TPS2000 Series oscilloscopes. The following sections are
included:
H Preparation tells you how to get ready to do oscilloscope maintenance.
H Preventing ESD provides general information on preventing damage to
internal modules when doing maintenance.
H Inspection and Cleaning provides procedures for inspecting the oscilloscope
and cleaning its external and internal modules.
H Removal and Installation Procedures provides procedures for the removal
and installation of modules.
H Troubleshooting provides information for isolating failed modules.
H Repackaging Instructions provides packaging information for shipment or
storage.

Preparation
Only qualified personnel should perform service procedures. Read the Service
Safety Summary and the General Safety Summary sections of this manual before
performing any service procedures. Also refer to the chapter Operating Informa-
tion and your oscilloscope user manual for information about using the oscillo-
scope.

Preventing ESD
When performing any service which requires internal access to the oscilloscope,
adhere to the following precautions. These precautions will help you avoid
damaging internal modules and their components due to electrostatic discharge
(ESD).

CAUTION. Static discharge can damage any semiconductor component in this

oscilloscope.

H Minimize handling of static-sensitive modules.

TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual 6-- 1

Maintenance

H Transport and store static-sensitive modules in their static protected

containers or on a metal rail. Label any package that contains static-sensitive
modules.
H Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a grounded antistatic
wrist strap while handling these modules.
H Service static-sensitive modules only at static-free workstations. Do not
allow anything capable of generating or holding a static charge on the
workstation surface.
H Handle circuit boards by the edges when possible.
H Do not slide the modules over any surface.
H Avoid handling modules in areas that have a floor or work-surface covering
capable of generating a static charge.

Inspection and Cleaning

This section describes how to inspect for dirt and damage, and how to clean the
oscilloscope. Inspection and cleaning are done as preventive maintenance which,
when done regularly, may prevent malfunctions and enhance reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
oscilloscope, and using general care when operating it. Perform preventive
maintenance more often if you operate the oscilloscope in a severe environment.
A good time to perform preventive maintenance is just before adjustment of the
oscilloscope.

General Care For optimum performance, follow these recommendations:

H Protect the oscilloscope from adverse weather conditions. The oscilloscope is
not waterproof.
H Do not store or leave the oscilloscope where the liquid crystal display (LCD)
will be exposed to direct sunlight or high humidity for long periods of time.
H The front and rear cases help keep dust out of the oscilloscope and must be in
place during normal operation.
H To avoid damage to the oscilloscope or probes, do not expose them to any
sprays, liquids, or solvents.

Inspection and Cleaning The accumulation of dirt on internal components can cause them to overheat and
Procedures fail. Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause an oscillo-
scope failure, especially under high-humidity conditions. Inspect and clean the
oscilloscope and probes as often as operating conditions require.

6-- 2 TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual

 Maintenance

Inspection, Exterior. Inspect the outside of the oscilloscope for damage, wear, and
missing parts. Oscilloscopes that appear to have been dropped or otherwise
abused should be checked thoroughly to verify correct operation and perfor-
mance. Immediately repair defects that could cause personal injury or lead to
further damage to the oscilloscope.

Cleaning Procedure, Exterior. To clean the oscilloscope exterior and probes:

1. Remove loose dust on the outside of the oscilloscope and probes with a
lint-free cloth. Use care to avoid scratching the clear glass display shield.
2. Use a soft cloth dampened with water to clean the oscilloscope, or use a 75%
isopropyl alcohol solution for more efficient cleaning.

CAUTION. To prevent getting moisture inside the oscilloscope during external

cleaning, use only enough liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.
To avoid damage to the surface of the oscilloscope or probes, do not use any
abrasive or chemical cleaning agents.

Inspection, Interior. Inspect and clean the interior if it appears that the oscillo-
scope may have been damaged or exposed to an unusually dirty environment.
To inspect and clean the interior, disassemble the oscilloscope by completing
each of the disassembly procedures in the order given starting on page 6--5.
Inspect the internal portions of the oscilloscope for damage and wear using
Table 6--1 as a guide. Repair defects immediately.

TPS2000 Series Digital Storage Oscilloscopes Service Manual 6-- 3

Maintenance

Cleaning Procedure, Interior. To clean the oscilloscope interior, perform the

following steps:
1. Blow off dust with dry, low-pressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint-free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and then wipe with a lint-free cloth dampened with
warm deionized water. A cotton-tipped applicator is useful for cleaning in
narrow spaces and on circuit boards.

STOP. If, after performing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean upon inspection, skip
steps 3 and 4. Proceed with step 5.
If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, all modules in the oscilloscope
except the Display Module and Front Panel Module may be spray washed using
a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol.
Extensive cleaning of the Display Module is difficult because water must not be
trapped between the display shield and the display. The polarizers integrated into
the display degrade with long-term exposure to water. The display shield and
display must be replaced as an assembly if significant moisture or debris become
trapped inside. Cotton tipped applicators and lint-free rags moistened in
isopropyl alcohol and/or deionized water offer the best cleaning with the least
opportunity for damage to the assembly.
The Front Panel Module can be damaged by deposition of film or debris inside
the knob encoders. To avoid this, care must be taken to not drip liquid or blow
debris into the encoders.
Proceed with step 3.

3. Spray wash dirty parts with the 75% isopropyl alcohol solution and wait 60
seconds for the majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
4. Use hot (49 _C to 60 _C / 120 _F to 140 _F) deionized water to thoroughly
rinse the parts.
5. Dry all parts with low-pressure, deionized air.
6. Dry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment using
low-temperature (52 _C to 66 _C / 125 _F to 150 _F) circulating air.

Lubrication. Periodic lubrication is not required for the oscilloscope.

PROBE COMP Output When the oscilloscope is on and operating properly, the PROBE COMP output
should generate a square wave, approximately 5 V in amplitude, at a 1 kHz
frequency. Use the oscilloscope and set the Attenuation switch to 10X on the
P2100 probe to probe this output.
As shown in the table below, there are two cases of defects. Either the 1 kHz
signal is on and the IO and Acquisition boards are both active and functionally
capable of performing an acquisition, or one of those two modules is not
performing correctly. While a large number of different possible frequencies
exist, all involve detected failures on the Acquisition or IO boards due to failure.

Signal at PROBE COMP Possible problem

1 kHz signal, no display Troubleshoot the display
Non-1 kHz signal Troubleshoot the Acquisition board
No signal Troubleshoot the power supply
