Measurement values are displayed on the Vacuum Fluroescent nine.digit readout. ‘The dual vertical channel system supplies calibrated de- flection factors from 2 mV per division to 5 V per division. ‘Trigger circuits enable stable triggering over the full band- width of the vertical system. The horizontal system provides calibrated sweep speeds from 0.5 s per division to 50 ns per division, along with delayed-sweep features. A X10 magni- fier circuit extends the maximum sweep speed to 5 ns por division when the A and B SEC/DIV switch is set to 0.05 ys. ‘The Counter Timer section of the CTM measures fre- quency, period, width, and totalizes, and provides a digital readout of oscilloscope delay time and delta time. It also provides frequency, period, and width measurements and totalizes on portions of a waveform selected by the intensi- fied zone (gated measurements). Counting and timing mea- surements are made through the A and B Trigger system. All Counter Timer measurement values are displayed on the readout. The Multimeter section of the CTM measures voltages. ‘and resistance through the floating input connectors located (on the right side of the instrument. Voltages can also be measured through the CH 1 or X & DMM connector. Tern- perature measurements can be made by connecting the op- tional temperature probe to the Multimeter input connectors. The Multimeter measurement values are dis- played with a 3 3/4-digit (5000 count) format, on the digital readout REV JAN 1985 ACCESSORIES ‘The instrument is shipped with the following standard ‘accessories: 1 Operators manual 1 Probe package 1 Power cord 2 Multimeter test lead clips 2 Multimeter test leads For part numbers and information about instrument ac- ccessories, refer to the tabbed "Accessories" part of the Re- placeable Mechanical Parts section in the back of this ‘manual. The service manual and all other optional accessories are ‘orderable from Tektronix, Inc. A local Tektronix Field Office, representative, or the Tektronix product catalog can provide ‘ordering and product information.

TRIGGER Refer to Figure 2.6 for location of items 25 through 34. ® 26 A TRIGGER Mode Switches—Three section switch ‘that determines the trigger mode for the A Sweep. ‘SGL SWP RESET—Pross in the spring-return but- ton momentarily to arm the A Sweep circuit or a single-sweep display or to reset the CTM when in TOTALIZE mode. In CH 1 V mode, pressing the ‘SGL SWP RESET button will enter or cancel rela- tive reference mode. In single-sweep display mode, the trigger system operates the same as NORM, except only one sweep is displayed for each trigger signal. Another, ‘sweep cannot be displayed until the SGL SWP RE- SET button is momentarily pressed in again to re- set the A Sweep circuit. This mode is useful for displaying and photographing either nonrepetitive Fig. 2. ‘Trigger controls, connector, and indicator. signals or signals that cause unstable conventional displays (2.9., signals that vary in amplitude, shape, or time). It also allows the gated totalze function to acquire signals over just one gate inter- val for events counting. P-P AUTO-TV LINE—Permits triggering on wave- forms having repetition rates of at least 20 Hz and television lines. Sweep free-runs in the absence of ‘an adequate trigger signal or when the repetition rate is below 20 Hz. The range of the A TRIGGER, LEVEL control is restricted to the peak-to-peak range of the trigger signal NORM—Sweep is initiated when an adequate trig- ger signal is applied, In the absence of a trigger signal, no baseline trace will be present. TV FIELD—Press in both P-P AUTO and NORM buttons. Permits triggering on television field sig- nals. A TRIGGER LEVEL control range and auto baseline are the same as in P-P AUTO. ‘TRIG'D-READY Indicator—LED illuminates when ei- ther P-P AUTO or NORM Trigger Mode is selected, when the A Sweep has been triggered (TRIG'O). When SGL SWP RESET button is momentarily pressed in, the LED illuminates to indicate that the A ‘Trigger circuit is armed (READY) for a single sweep display. @ a rmacen ever contel—sebots te arotce point on the trigger signal at which the sweep is triggered, 610Pe swteneo—Seet te soe oh rl at triggers the sweep. ‘OUT—When button is released out, sweep is trig- gered from the positive-going slope of the trigger signal. In WIDTH mode the CTM measures the positive half cycles of the trigger signals.

The cisplayed count can be reset to zero by switching between A and ALT HORIZON- ‘TAL MODE or by pressing in momentarily the SGL SWP RESET button. WIDTH—Measures the width of the trigger signal from the output of the A Trigger circuit (instrument in A HORIZONTAL MODE) or the 8 Trigger circuit {instrument in ALT or B HORIZONTAL MODE), With the trigger slope switch in positive position, the CTM measures the positive displayed half cy- les of the trigger signals; when in negative posi- tion the CTM measures the negative displayed half cycles of the trigger signals. DCV—Measures de voltage from 0 to 499.9 volts when applied to the Multimeter inputs. The word “OUCH is displayed if 500 V or more is applied to the Multimeter inputs. 2./-Pt (Resistance/Semiconductor)—Measures resistance up to 1.99 G [OHMS] or indicates that the device-under-test is a forward-biased semi- ‘conductor when applied to the Multimeter inputs, With the UPPER FUNCTIONS-LOWER FUNCTIONS switch in the OUT position the following CTM func- tions can be selected. 4 TIME—Provides two intensified zones on the crt trace for differential time measurements. The loca- tion of the first intensified zone is determined by the B DELAY TIME POSITION control, and loca- tion of the second intensified zone is determined by the A TIME POSITION control. The time difference between the start of the two intensified zones is, displayed on the readout. DLY TIME—Measures and displays on the readout the time difference between the start of the B ‘Sweep (B DLY'D SWEEP) and the start of the A ‘Sweep in ALT and B HORIZONTAL MODE. gz re oO Fig. 2-7. Counter, timer, and multimeter controls and indicator. 28 CH 1 V_—Measures de voltage or true ac rms volt- ‘age signals applied to the CH 1 OR X & DMM verti- ‘eal input connector. For de voltage measurements, ‘set the Channel 1 Input Coupling switch to DCV position, and for true ac rms voltage measure- ‘ments set the Channel 1 Input Coupling switch to the AC RMSV position. There is no autoranging; CH 1 VOLTS/DIV switch selects the range for the CTM voltage measurements. The readout will ini cate the measuring mode the CTM is in by display- ing an “Ac’ or “dc” on the left side of the voltage reading. In overrange condition the readout will dis- play the word “OUCH”: In CH 1 V mode, the CTM has the capability of storing a relative reference value, such that the dis- played value is the input voltage minus the stored reference value. When either Channel 1 AC RMSV or DCV volts are first entered, the stored reference value is zero, and the Channel 1 input voltage is, displayed directly. To set the reference value, press in the SGL SWP RESET button momen- tary, and the value on the readout becomes the stored reference value. To regain normal voltage measurement press again the SGL SWP RESET button momentarily or change the CH 1 VOLTSIDIV switch position, ‘AC RMSV—Measures the true ac rms value of the input signal applied to the Multimeter inputs, from 0V to 349.9 V rms. The word “OUCH” is displayed if 850 V or more is applied to the Multimeter input, connector. TEMP_Measures temperature in degrees Celsius °C when the TEMP button is pressed in, or de- grees Fahrenheit °F when both TEMP and A TIME buttons are pressed in, Temperature readings fol- lowing by °C or °F are displayed on the CTM readout. li<50 (Continuity)—Press in both AC RMSV and TEMP buttons for continuity measurements. For resistance readings below 5.09 the word "Short™ is displayed and an audible tone will be generated. For resistance readings greater than or equal to 5.0.0, the word *OPEN' is displayed. Self Test Routine—The CTM can be entered into a Self Test routine by setting the UPPER FUNC- TIONS-LOWER FUNCTIONS switch to IN and pressing in the FREQ, PER, and WIDTH buttons at, the same time. The message "SELF tESt” will be displayed on the readout to indicate that the rou- tine is in self test mode. To exit from the routine Operating Instructions—2236 Service press in any of the CTM front panel buttons to re- {gain normal measurement mode. Repeated press- ing of the SGL SWP RESET button will cause the CCTM to advance through the test menu. To exit from the test menu, keep pressing the SGL SWP RESET button until “End S-t” message is dis- played on the readout. Then exit from the Self Test routine by pressing in any one of the CTM front panel buttons. Self Test routine should normally be performed by a qualified service personnal. @ a ruse roserion contot—oeam conpocton wen the B DELAY TIME POSITION control in A TIME mode.

Readout Cove of «sine dgt veo tors Cent unit which is used to display measurements se- lected by the CTM. No polarity indication is displayed for positive values. Negative polarity indication is automatic for negative values. In Counter and Timer ‘modes the decimal point is always placed in one of the: three most-significant digits, and the exponent is al- ways an integer multiple of 3. Resistance measure- ments are also displayed with an exponent. All frequency measurements are in Hertz, and time mea- surements are in seconds.
