Getting Started

The Tektronix 80E01, 80E02, 80E03, 80E04, and 80E06 sampling modules are

high-performance sampling modules that can be installed in the following main

instruments:

H DSA8200 Digital Serial Analyzer

H CSA8000, CS A800B, and CSA8200 Communications Signal Analyzers

H TDS8000, TDS8000B, and TDS8200 Digital Sampling Oscilloscopes

Proper operation of the electrical sampling modules requires that the appropriate

application software is installed on the main instrument. In Table 1, each new

release of software supports the additional electrical modules as well as all

electrical modules supported by earlier software versions.

To display the version installed, select About from the Help menu of the main

instrument.

The 80E01 module risetime is estimated using the formula risetime = 0.35/bandwidth. The 80E06 module risetime is

3.5 m m female to 2.4 mm male adapter is provided.

Because the 2.4 mm connector of this adapter will mechanical ly i nterface with the 1.85 mm connector of the 80E06, it

serves as a 1.85 mm-to-2.92 mm adapter for the 80E06 module.

As shown in Figure 1, the sampling modules have two independent channels

(80E01 and 80E06 each have one channel), each with its own acquisition

circuitry.

The strobe drive signal from the instrument controls the timing of the strobe

assertion to each acquisition system and guarantees sampling coincidence

between the channels in a sampling module.

CAUTION. To prevent electrostatic damage to the main instrument and sampling

modules, follow the precautions described in this manual and the manuals

accompanying your instrument. (See Electrostatic Discharge on page 6.)

An extender cable extends the reach of a sampling module. You install the extender

between the sampling module and the instrument, allowing you to operate the

sampling m odule out of the module compartment. If you compensate a module in

the main instrument and then move the module to an extender, or visa versa,

re-compensate the module (for more information see Compensation on page 9).

Installation

The sampling modules fit into the front panel of the main instrument. Figure 3

shows the front panel of a DSA8200 and the locations of the sampling-module

compartments.

This small module

compartment is not usable if

a large module is installed

in right-most slot

Figure 3: Sam pling module compar tments

At least one sampling module must be installed in an instrument to sample

signals.

NOTE. Installing a large module in the left-most slot disables the left-most small

module compartment. Installing a large module in the right-most slot disables

the small module compartment that is second from the left.

Each instrument supports four large-compartment channels, two per sampling

module, and eight small-compartment channels, two per sampling module. Eight

of the ten channels are usable at one time.

To prevent electrostatic damage to the main instrument and sampling modules,

follow the precautions described in this manual and the manuals that come with

your instrument.

Circuitry in the sampling module is very susceptible to damage from electrostat-

ic discharge or from overdrive signals. Be sure to only operate the sampling

module in a static-controlled environment. Be sure to discharge to ground any

electrostatic charge that may be present on the center and outer connectors of

cables before attaching the cable to the sampling module.

Electrostatic Discharge

Getting Started

80E00 Electrical Sampling Modules User Manual

Know your signal source. If it is capable of delivering overvoltages, it is safer to

not depend on the signal source settings for protection, but instead use an

external attenuator that protects the input from the worst-case conditions. For

example, for a 20 V maximum source connected to a 3 V maximum sampling

module, use a 10X attenuator. Where possible, connect your cables to the signal

source first, and to the sampling module second.

CAUTION. To prevent damage from electrostatic discharge, install 50 Ω

terminations on the sampling-module connectors before removing a sampling

module from an instrument or when it is not in use. Store the sampling module in

a static-fr ee container, such as the shipping container. Whenever you move the

sampling module from one instrument to another, use a static-free container to

transport the sampling module.

To prevent damage to the sampling module, discharge to ground any electrostat-

ic charge that may be present on the center and outer conductors of cables

before attaching the cable to the sampling module.

To prevent damage to the sampling module, do not create an ESD antenna by

leaving cables attached to the sampling-module input with the other end of the

cable open.

To prevent damage to the sampling module or instrument, never install or

remove a sampling module when the instrument is powered-on.

Always use a wrist strap (provided with your instrument) when handling

sampling modules or making signal connections. Wear anti-static clothing and

work in a static-free workstation when using sampling modules.

Use a Tektronix 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module if doing TDR work.

To prevent damage to the sampling module or instrument, do not apply a voltage

outside the Maximum Input Voltage (see page 48) for your sampling module.

For information on creating a static-controlled workstation, consult the Electron-

ic Industries Association document EIA-625; Requirements for Handling

Electrostatic-Discharge-Sensitive (ESDS) Devices.

You can use a Tektronix 80A02 EOS/ESD Protection Module to protect the

sampling module from damage due to static discharge from circuit boards and

cables. Use the 80A02 in applications where large static charges can be stored on

the device under test, such as when testing TDR circuit boards or cables.

Refer to the documentation supplied with the 80A02 module for proper

installation and use.

80E00 Electrical Sampling Modules User Manual

To install a sampling module, first turn off the instrument using the front-panel

On/Standby switch. Then place the sampling module in a compartment and

slowly push it in with firm pressure. Once the sampling module is seated, turn

the hold-down screw on the sampling module to tighten the sampling module

into place. See Figure 4.

CAUTION. To prevent damage to the sampling module or instrument, never install

or remove a sampling module when the instrument is powered on or when either

input connector is unprotected.

NOTE. When removing your sampling module, first loosen the hold-down screw,

and then use the sampling module ejector on the main instrument to eject the

sampling module.
