GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The TEKTRONIX
221
SA
Oscilloscope is a rugged, light-
weight, dual-channel 60-MHz instrument that features a
bright, sharply defined trace on an 80- by 100-mm cathode-
ray tube (crt). Its vertical system supplies calibrated deflec-
tion factors from 2 mV per division
to
5 V per divi-
sion.Trigger circuits enable stable triggering over the full
bandwidth
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 magnifier circuit extends the maximum sweep speed
to
5 ns per division when the A and B SEC/DIV switch is set
to
0.05 µs per division.
The instrument is shipped with the following standard
accessories:
1 Operators manual
1 Power cord
2 Probe packages
For part numbers and information about instrument ac-
cessories, refer
to
the "Options and Accessories· section
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.

at
frequencies from 48 Hz
to
440
Hz.
POWER CORD
A detachable three-wire power cord with a three-contact
plug is provided with each instrument
to
permit connection
to both the power source and protective grou
nd.
The plug
protective-ground contact connects (through the protective-
ground conductor)
to
the accessible metal parts
of
the in-
strument. For electrical-shock protection, insert this plug
only into a power outlet that has a securely grounded pro-
tective-ground contact.
This instrument is shipped with the required power cord
as
ordered by the customer. Available power-cord informa-
tion are illustrated in Figure 2
-1
, and part numbers are list
ed
in Section 5
at
the back
of
this manual. Contact your
Tektronix representative or local Tektronix Field Office for
additional power-cord information.
LINE FUSE
The instrument fuse holder is located on the rear panel
(see Figure 2-2) and contains the line fuse. The following
procedure can be used
to
verify that the proper fuse is in-
stalled
or
to
install a replacement fuse.
1. Unplug the power cord from the power-input source
(if applicabl
e).
2. Press in and
sl
ightly rotate the fuse-holder cap
counterclockwi
se
to
release it.
3. Pull
th
e cap (with the attached fuse inside) out

sw
itches that select the method
of
coupling the
input signals
to
the instrument deflection system.
AC-Inpu
t signal is capacitively coupled
to
the ver-
tical amplifier. The de component
of
the input sig-
nal is blocked. Low-frequency limit
(- 3
dB
point) is
approximately 1 0 Hz.
GND-
The
in
put
of
the vertical amplifier is
grounded
to
provide a zero (ground) reference-volt-
age display (does not ground the input signal). This
switch position allows precharging the input cou-
pling capacitor.
DC
-All
frequency components
of
the input signal
are coupled
to
the vertical deflection systems.

CH
1 OR X and CH 2 OR Y Input
Connectors-
Provide for application
of
external signals
to
the verti-
cal deflection system
or
for
an
X-Y display. In the X-Y
mode (SEC/DIV switch set
to
X-
Y),
the signal con-
nected
to
the
CH
1
OR
X input connector provides
horizontal deflection
(X-a
xis) and the signal connected
to
the
CH
2
OR

switch must be in the BOTH position for either
ADD, ALT,
or
CHOP operation.
CH
2-Select
s only the Channel 2 input signal for
display.
ADD-D
isplays the algebraic sum
of
the Channel 1

s.
ALT-Alt
ernately displays Channel 1 and Channel
2 input signals. The alternation occurs during re-
trace at the end
of
each sweep. This mode is useful
for viewing both input signals
at
sweep speeds
from 0.05
µs
per division
to
0.2 ms per division.
CH
OP-
The displ
ay
switches between the Chan-
nel
1 and Channel 2 input signals during the
sweep. The switching rate is approximately
500 kHz. This mode is useful for view
in
g both
Channel 1 and Channel 2 input signals at sweep
speeds from 0.5 ms per division
to
0.5 µs per
