Verify the File System (Optional on TDS 520A and 540A)
Equipment Required:
One P6139A probe and one 720 K or 1.44 Mbyte, 3.5
inch DOS compatible disk. You can use a disk of your own or you can use the
Programming Examples Software 3.5 inch disk (Tektronix part number
063–1134–00) contained in the TDS Family Programmer Manual (Tektronix
part number 070–8709–01).
Prerequisites:
None.
Procedure:
1.
Install the test hookup and preset the oscilloscope controls:
a.
Hook up the signal source:
Install the probe on CH 1. Connect the
probe tip to PROBE COMPENSATION SIGNAL on the front panel;
connect the probe ground to PROBE COMPENSATION GND. (See
Figure 1-3 on page 1-6.)
b.
Insert the test disk:
Insert the disk in the disk drive to the left of the
monitor.
Position the disk so the metal shutter faces the drive.
Position the disk so the stamped arrow is on the top right side. In
other words, place the angled corner in the front bottom location.
Push the disk into the drive until it goes all the way in and clicks
into place.
c.
Initialize the oscilloscope:
Press save/recall SETUP.
Press the main-menu button Recall Factory Setup.
Press the side-menu button OK Confirm Factory Init.
d.
Modify default settings:
Press AUTOSET
to obtain a viewable, triggered display.
Set the horizontal SCALE for the M (main) time base to 200 s
(one click clockwise). Notice the waveform on the display now
shows two cycles instead of five.
Press CLEAR MENU to remove the menus from the screen.
e.
Save the settings:
Press SETUP.
Press the main-menu button Save Current Setup; then press the
side-menu button To File.
Turn the general purpose knob to select the file to save. Choose
TEK?????.SET (or fdo:). With this choice, you’ll save a file
starting with TEK, then containing 5-numbers, and a .SET exten-
sion. For example, the first time you run this on a blank, for-
matted disk or on the Example Programs Disk, the TDS will
assign the name TEK00000.SET to your file. If you ran the
procedure again, the TDS would increment the name and call the
file TEK00001.SET.
