Instrument Serial Numbers

Each instrument manufactured by Tektronix has a serial number on a panel insert or tag, or stamped on the

chassis. The first letter in the serial number designates the country of manufacture. The last five digits of the

serial number are assigned sequentially and are unique to each instrument. Those manufactured in the United

States have six unique digits. The country of manufacture is identified as follows:

digitizing oscilloscope through the GPIB interface.

The

TDS Family Option 05 Video Trigger Instruction Manual

(Tektronix

part number 070–8748–00) describes use of the video trigger option (for

TDS oscilloscopes equipped with that option only).

The

TDS 520A, 524A, 540A, 544A, & 644A Reference

Related Manuals

Welcome

In the

Getting Started

and

Reference

sections, you will find various proce-

dures which contain steps of instructions for you to perform. To keep those

instructions clear and consistent, this manual uses the following conventions:

In procedures, names of front panel controls and menu labels appear in

boldface print.

Names also appear in the same case (initial capitals, all uppercase, etc.)

in the manual as is used on the oscilloscope front panel and menus. Front

panel names are all upper case letters, for example, VERTICAL MENU,

CH 1, etc.

Instruction steps are numbered. The number is omitted if there is only

one step.

When steps require that you make a sequence of selections using front

panel controls and menu buttons, an arrow ( ➞) marks each transition

between a front panel button and a menu, or between menus. Also,

whether a name is a main menu or side menu item is clearly indicated:

Press VERTICAL MENU ➞Coupling (main) ➞DC (side) ➞Band-

width (main) ➞100 MHz (side).

Using the convention just described results in instructions that are graphi-

cally intuitive and simplifies procedures. For example, the instruction just

given replaces these five steps:

1. Press the front panel button VERTICAL MENU.

2. Press the main menu button Coupling.

3. Press the side-menu button DC.

4. Press the main menu button Bandwidth

5. Press the side menu button 100 MHz

Sometimes you may have to make a selection from a popup menu: Press

TRIGGER MENU ➞Type (main) ➞Edge (popup). In this example, you

repeatedly press the main menu button Type until Edge is highlighted in

the pop-up menu.
