1Displayed vertically with 25 digitization levels (DLs) per division and 10.24 divisions dynamic range with zoom off. A DL is the
smallest voltage level change resolved by the 8bit AD Converter, with the input scaled to the volts/division setting of the channel
used. Expressed as a voltage, a DL is equal to 1/25 of a division times the volts/division setting.
2The sensitivity ranges from 1 mV/div to 10 V/div in a 1-2-5 sequence of coarse settings. Between consecutive coarse set
tings, the sensitivity can be finely adjusted with a resolution of 1% of the more sensitive setting. For example, between
50 mV/div and 100mV/div, the volts/division can be set with 0.5 mV resolution.

1The range of realtime rates, expressed in samples/second, at which a digitizer samples signals at its inputs and stores the
samples in memory to produce a record of timesequential samples
2The range of waveform rates for equivalent time or interpolated waveform records.
3The Waveform Rate (WR) is the equivalent sample rate of a waveform record. For a waveform record acquired by realtime
sampling of a single acquisition, the waveform rate is the same as the realtime sample rate; for a waveform created by interpola
tion of realtime samples from a single acquisition or by equivalenttime sampling of multiple acquisitions, the waveform rate is
faster than the real time sample rate. For all three cases, the waveform rate is 1/(Waveform Interval) for the waveform record,
where the waveform interval (WI) is the time between the samples in the waveform record.
4The maximum record length of 60,000 points available with Option 1M is selectable with all acquisition modes except Hi Res and
Average. In Hi Res and Average, the maximum record length is 15,000 points.

Power
WARNING

AC POWER SOURCE AND CONNECTION. The digitizing

oscilloscope operates from a singlephase power source. It has a
threewire power cord and a twopole threeterminal grounding
type plug. The voltage to ground (earth) from either pole of the
power source must not exceed the 250 V rms maximum rated
operating voltage.

Before making connection to the power source, be sure the

digitizing oscilloscope has a suitable twopole threeterminal
groundingtype plug.

GROUNDING. This instrument is safety Class 1 equipment (IEC

designation). All accessible conductive parts are directly
connected through the grounding conductor of the power cord to
the grounded (earthing) contact of the power plug.

WARNING

The power input plug must be inserted only in a mating receptacle

with a grounding contact where earth ground has been verified by a
qualified service person. Do not defeat the grounding connection.
Any interruption of the grounding connection can create an electric
shock hazard.

For electric shock protection, the grounding connection must be

made before making connection to the oscilloscope input or output
terminals.

disconnect switch. The ON/STBY (standby) switch simply toggles
operation on and off. When connected to a power source and when
the principal power switch is on, the some power supply circuitry in
this digitizing oscilloscope is energized regardless of the setting of
the ON/STBY switch.

When connecting or disconnecting the line cord to or from the

32 Theory of Operation
 Circuit Description

Front Panel
The processor system sends instructions to and receives information from
the Front Panel Processor on the A06Front Panel board. The Front Panel
Processor reads the frontpanel switches and pots. Any changes in their
settings are reported to the processor system. The Front Panel Processor
also turns the LEDs on and off, generates the bell signal, and generates the
probe compensation signal PROBE ADJ. The Front Panel Processor also
processes the probe coding interface signals.

Menu Switches Frontpanel menu switches are also read by the Front
Panel Processor. The processor sends any changes in menu selections to
the processor system.

ON/STBY Switch This switch is not read by the Front Panel Processor.
The signal passes through the A06Front Panel board, the A03CPU board,
and the A01Backplane board to the low voltage power supply.

Rear Panel
The GPIB connector provides access to stored waveforms and allows exter
nal control of the oscilloscope. Other connectors accessible from the rear
panel are the AUX TRIGGER and VIDEO.

Aux Power
The A07Auxiliary Power circuitry includes the principal power switch, fuse,
line trigger transformer, and line filter. It also distributes power to the monitor
and fan.

Low Voltage Power Supply

The low voltage power supply is a switching power converter. It supplies
power to all oscilloscope circuitry. The low voltage power supply sends all of
its power to the A01Backplane where it is distributed to all other circuitry.
The principal POWER switch, located on the rear panel, controls all power to
the oscilloscope including the low voltage power supply. The ON/STBY
switch, located on the front panel, also controls all of the power to the oscil
loscope except for part of the circuitry in the low voltage power supply.

Fan
The fan provides forced air cooling for the oscilloscope. It connects to +12V
on the A01Backplane through the A07Auxiliary Power board.

CAUTION

Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which might damage the
plastics used in this oscilloscope. Use only deionized water when
cleaning the menu buttons or frontpanel buttons. Use a 75%
isopropyl alcohol solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized
water. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult your Tektronix
Service Center or representative.

Avoid the use of high pressure compressed air when cleaning dust
from the interior of this instrument. (High pressure air can cause
ESD.) Instead, use low pressure compressed air (about 9 psi).

WARNING

Monitor assembly handling: Use care when handling a monitor. If

you break its display tube it may implode, scattering glass
fragments with high velocity and possibly injuring you. Wear
protective clothing, including safety glasses (preferably a fullface
shield). Avoid striking the display tube with or against any object.

Monitor storage: Store the monitor with its display tube face down
in a protected location, placing it on a soft, nonabrasive surface to
prevent scratching the face plate.

 Remove the monitor:

CAUTION

Note that the screw removed in step d is shorter

(0.250 inch/6.35 mm) than the screws removed in substeps b
and c (0.625 inch/15.875 mm). Be sure to install the short screw in
its proper location when reinstalling the board. Installation of the
long screw will damage the DSP assembly circuit board.

range, set the principal power switch (rear panel) to its OFF posi
tion. Failure to do so can damage the oscilloscope.

 Diagrams

This section contains the block diagram and the interconnection diagram for
this oscilloscope. If servicing a TDS 410, ignore all references to CH 3 and
CH 4.

Symbols Graphic symbols and class designation letters are based on ANSI Standard
Y32.2-1975. Abbreviations are based on ANSI Y1.1-1972.
Logic symbology is based on ANSI/IEEE Std 91-1984 in terms of positive
logic. Logic symbols depict the logic function performed and can differ from
the manufacturer's data.
The tilde (~) preceding a signal name indicates that the signal performs its
intended function when in the low state.
Other standards used in the preparation of diagrams by Tektronix. Inc are:
H Tektronix Standard 062-2476 Symbols and Practices for Schematic
Drafting
