Do not perform internal service or adjustment of this product unless another
person capable of rendering first aid and resuscitation is present.
Use Care When Servicing With Power On

Dangerous voltages exist at several points in this product. To avoid personal
injury, do not touch exposed connections or components while power is on.
Disconnect power before removing protective panels, soldering, or replacing
components.
Power Source
The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes are intended to operate
from a power source that will not apply more than 250 VRMS between the
supply conductors or between either supply conductor and ground. A pro
tective ground connection, through the grounding conductor in the power
cord, is essential for safe system operation.
Grounding the Oscilloscope

The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes are grounded through the
power cord. To avoid electric shock, plug the power cord into a properly
wired receptacle where earth ground has been verified by a qualified service
person. Do this before making connections to the input or output terminals of
the oscilloscope.
Without the protective ground connection, all parts of the TAS 455 and
TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes are potential shock hazards. This includes
knobs and controls that may appear to be insulators.
Use the Proper Power Cord

Use only the power cord and connector specified for your product. Use only
a power cord that is in good condition.
Use the Proper Fuse

To avoid fire hazard, use only the fuse specified in the parts list for your
product. It must be identical in type, voltage rating, and current rating.

Product Description
The features of the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes are briefly
described here to help get you acquainted with the operating systems.
User Interface
This oscilloscope uses a combination of frontpanel buttons, knobs, and

onscreen menus to control its many functions. The frontpanel controls are
grouped according to function: vertical, horizontal, trigger, and special.
Within each group, any function adjusted often, such as vertical positioning
or the time base setting, is set directly by its own frontpanel control.
AUTOSET
The AUTOSET button provides you with a usable, triggered display of a
signal applied to an input channel. Many instrument controls and menus are
set to a predefined state, providing you with a known starting point for your
measurements.
Menus
Those functions for which control settings changed less often, such as
vertical coupling and trigger mode, are set indirectly. That is, pressing a
frontpanel button, such as VERTICAL MENU, displays a menu of functions
at the bottom of the screen related to that button. (For the button VERTICAL
MENU, the menu displayed contains functions such as coupling and band
width.) The buttons below this main menu select a function, such as cou
pling and displays a sub menu of settings for that function, such as DC, AC,
or GND, at the right side of the screen. The buttons to the right of the menu
select a setting, such as DC.
General Purpose Knob and TOGGLE

Some menus assign the General Purpose Knob to a selected adjustment.
The method employed is the same as for selecting a function, except the
final selection in the side menu causes the General Purpose Knob to adjust
some function, such as the position of measurement cursors on screen.
Pressing the CLEAR MENU button clears the assignment of the General
Purpose Knob except when assigned to adjust cursors or delay time.
The TOGGLE button works in conjunction with the General Purpose Knob
when positioning cursors. Each press of the TOGGLE button switches
which cursor is active, and therefore controlled by the General Purpose
Knob.
Save/Recall Setups
You can store up to four complete front panel setups in memory. Once you
complete a complex setup and then save it in one of the four memory loca
tions, you can retrieve it at any time. Saved front panel settings do not
include the assignment of the General Purpose Knob.

Specifications
Product Description
Vertical System
The vertical system provides two vertical channels with calibrated vertical
scale factors from 2 mV to 5 V per division.
Both channels can be displayed, vertically positioned, bandwidth limited (to
either Full or 20 MHz), inverted, and vertical coupling specified.
Besides the two channels, a math waveform is available for display. (A math
waveform results when you add the two channels.)
Horizontal System
There are three horizontal display modes: main, delayed, and XY.
The main display is the standard horizontal display mode with calibrated
sec/div scales.
The delayed display can be delayed by time with respect to the main trigger.
The delayed display can also be set to display at the first valid trigger after
the delay. The delayed display also has a calibrated sec/div scale.
XY mode is useful to measure the phase difference of two signals.
Trigger System
The triggering system comprises a complete set of features for triggering the
horizontal system. You can configure trigger for source, slope, coupling,
mode, and holdoff. Video triggers are available for triggering on video sig
nals.
You can adjust the trigger level or automatically set it to 50% of the trigger

Cursors
Once you have set up to take your measurements, the cursors can help you
take those measurements quickly.
The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes have two types of cursors for
taking measurements on the displayed waveforms: delta (difference) and
absolute. The General Purpose Knob controls the placement of the cursors.
The TOGGLE button selects which cursor is active.
Delta voltage measures the voltage between the horizontal bar cursors.
Delta time measures the time between vertical bar cursors. These are delta
measurements; that is, measurements based on the difference between two
cursors.
Absolute voltage measures the voltage position of a single horizontal bar
cursor. The displayed voltage level readout is made with respect to the
ground reference level of the channel.
13
Product Description
The bar cursors remain displayed even if you change the function of the
General Purpose Knob. This allows you to use them as reference points or
markers to easily identify if measurement signals remain within the parame
ters set by the cursors. Remove the cursor display by turning the cursor
measurement off.

Installation and Power On

Before you begin using the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes,
perform this procedure to properly install and power them on.
1. Check that you have the proper electrical connections. The TAS 455 and
TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes require 90 to 132 VACRMS or 180 to
250 VACRMS, continuous range from 48 Hz to 440 Hz. A maximum of
85 Watts may be required.
2. Check that the Line Voltage Range switch (Figure 21) is at the proper
setting for your power system.
3. Check the fuse to ensure it is the proper type and rating (the rear panel
provides you with this information). The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog
Oscilloscopes are shipped with the UL approved fuse installed. Fig
ure 22 illustrates how to open the fuse drawer.
4. Connect the proper power cord from the rearpanel power connector
(Figure 21) to the power system.

Operating Information
Quick Start
This section helps you get acquainted with basic controls and operating
systems of the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes once you have
power applied.
Selecting and
Deselecting Input
Channels
The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes have two input channels. You can
display the channels separately or simultaneously. The following steps
demonstrate how to select and deselect channels for display.
1. Power on the oscilloscope and wait for the self tests to complete.
2. Press the CH 1 button located on the front panel. The CH 1 indicator
lights, channel 1 is displayed, and vertical controls and menus are
assigned to channel 1.
3. Press the CH 2 button located on the front panel. The CH 2 indicator
lights, channel 2 is displayed, and controls and menus are assigned to
channel 2.
4. Press the CH 1 button, assigning control to channel 1.
5. Press the WAVEFORM OFF button, removing channel 1 from the dis
play and leaving channel 2 displayed.
Using the Menus
The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes use menus for many instrument
settings. In the following steps, you will set only channel 1 on and turn the
cursors on.
1. Press the WAVEFORM OFF button until only channel 1 is displayed.
2. Press the CURSOR menu button.
3. Set the delta volts (DVOLT) cursors on (using the following guide).

Connecting a Signal
The TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes accept signals through the front
panel input connectors labeled CH 1 and CH 2. The probes you use for
taking measurements should only be those supplied with the TAS 455 and
TAS 465 Oscilloscopes. Connecting signals to the TAS 455 and TAS 465
Oscilloscopes is also possible with the use of 50 W coaxial cables.
Before using any probe to take measurements, compensate the probe to
match the input channel. See Compensating the Probe on page 25.
Using AUTOSET
The AUTOSET feature of the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes automati
cally sets most of the front panel controls.
1. Connect the probe compensation signal (from the PROBE COMP
connector on the front panel) to either channel of the oscilloscope and
display that channel (see Figure 25). Turn all other channels off.
2. Press the AUTOSET button on the front panel. Wait one to three sec
onds to allow the instrument to adjust all the control settings.
The instrument will trigger on the waveform, display at least one complete
cycle, and center it horizontally on the CRT. The baseline of the waveform
will be at the center horizontal graticule line (see Figure 24). The intensity
level is increased if set too low for a viewable display.

Compensating the
Probe
Passive probes require compensation to ensure maximum distortionfree

input to the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes. Before taking any mea
surements using a probe, first check the compensation of the probe and
adjust it to match the channel inputs. The signal source for this check is the
frontpanel PROBE COMP signal (Figure 25).
1. Attach the probe to either the CH 1 or CH 2 input connectors along the
lower right of the front panel.
2. Attach the probe tip to the PROBE COMP connector.

Circuit Description
This section describes the electrical operation of the Tektronix TAS 455 and
TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes. Refer to the schematics in the Diagrams
section as necessary.
Logic Conventions
This manual refers to digital logic circuits with standard logic symbols and
terms. Unless otherwise stated, all logic functions are described using the
positive logic convention: the more positive of the two logic levels is the high
(1) state and the more negative level is the low (0) state. Signal states may
also be described as true" meaning their active state or false" meaning
their nonactive state. The specific voltages that constitute a high or low
state vary among the electronic devices.
Activelow signals are indicated by a tilde (~) prefixed to the signal name
(~RESET). Signal names are considered to be either activehigh, activelow,
or to have both activehigh and activelow states.

Circuit Description
Analog Board
A signal enters the oscilloscope through a probe connected to a BNC on the

A1 Analog board.
Attenuators A1
The attenuator hybrids, AT401 and AT402, and the vertical preamplifier IC
select the input coupling, attenuation factor, variable gain, and the invert
function. The processor system controls and calibrates the attenuators.
Probe Coding Interface A1
Probe coding interface signals pass through the A1 Analog board to the A5
CPU board and then to the A4 Front Panel board. The probe interface
signals are digitized on the Front Panel board and communicated to the
processor system to control the instrument.
Analog Acquisition Hybrid A1
The input signals are routed to the highly integrated analog acquisition
hybrid, U405, which does the analog processing required to provide vertical,
horizontal, and Zaxis signals to the A3 Display Driver board. Under control
of the processor, the hybrid provides vertical signal processing, triggers,
sweeps, sequencing logic, and intensity control.
External Trigger A1
A high impedance buffer is used to interface the external trigger signal to the
analog acquisition hybrid.
Processor System
The processor board is a microcontroller design. Microcontroller U201 is the

core of the circuit, operating at 16 MHz. The primary function of the proces
sor is to receive input from the front panel, display the readout, and control
the A1 Analog board.
The processor board can be divided into five subsystems: the processor, the
ROM/RAM, the readout, the frontpanel interface, and the analog board
interface. A description of each subsystem follows.
Processor Subsystem A5
The processor subsystem consists of a 32bit integrated microcontroller and

its supporting circuits. It contains four peripheral modules; the CPU, a gener
alpurpose timer (GPT), a queued serial module (QSM), and a system in
tegration module (SIM).
34
Theory of Operation
Circuit Description
The GPT inputs are used for measuring the main and delay sweep gates, as
well as the measurement latches. The outputs of the GPT are used for
loading or resetting various sections of the analog board.
The QSM is primarily used as a synchronous bus for setting up the internal
register bits of the GCS, HS, preamp and DACs on the analog board.
The SIM module does all of the chip selecting for all of the addressable ICs
on the processor board. U201 has three types of support circuitry. The first
type is pullup resistors for IRQ lines and for configuring the processor boot
up. The second type is a crystal oscillator. The crystal oscillates at 32 kHz.
The processor uses a phase lock loop to create a 16 MHz system clock from
this crystal. The third type is a poweron reset circuit. The reset circuit,
consisting mainly of U207, is a passive circuit that monitors VCC. When the
power supply exceeds 4.5V, U207 releases the reset line allowing the pro
cessor to run. If VCC drops below 4.5V a reset occurs.
ROM/RAM Subsystem A5
The ROM/RAM subsystem consists of 256 kb of Flash ROM, 256 kb of static

RAM, and 64 kb of nonvolatile static RAM. The Flash ROM has a require
ment which states that it must not have an OE during a write cycle. Conse
quently, the gates of U221 in this subsystem prevent this from happening.
Readout Subsystem A5
The readout subsystem consists of a custom readout IC, two DACs, a 2.5 V
reference voltage, and some support resistors and capacitors for compensa
tion and filtering. The readout IC has an internal RAM into which the proces
sor puts ascii characters. The processor also controls the state of the read
out IC for calibration, cursor positioning, and update rate. The readout IC
itself then drives the vertical and horizontal DACs as well as the blanking.
FrontPanel Interface Subsystem A5
The frontpanel interface subsystem consists of U215 (DUART) and its

3.686 MHz crystal. The processor communicates to the frontpanel proces
sor through an RS232 like interface. This interface is maintained by the
DUART, running at 9600 baud. The DUART is connected to IRQ5 on the
processor. U201 talks to U215 using data lines D8 through D15.
Analog Board Interface Subsystem A5
The analog board interface subsystem consists of an ECL to CMOS convert

er and a CMOS to ECL converter. The SGMAIN lines coming from the ana
log board are ECL. These lines are converted to CMOS by using two transis
tors and a couple of resistors.
The EXTTRIG lines going to the analog board need to be ECL. These lines
are converted using three resistors each.
35
Circuit Description
Display Assembly
All information (waveforms, text, and cursors) is displayed by the A3 Display

Driver board. It generates the high voltages necessary to drive the CRT. It
also contains the vertical and horizontal amplifier circuitry.
Vertical Output A3
The vertical output amplifier provides the final stage of amplification of the
vertical signal. The output of the vertical amplifier is connected to the CRT
vertical plates. Vertical time and frequency compensation networks, some
which are adjustable are also contained in this circuit block. The compensa
tion networks corrects for errors in the time response of the vertical delay
line and variations in time and frequency response of the total vertical sys
tem. The vertical signal at the input of the vertical output stage is sampled
and sent back to the trigger circuitry on the analog board. This feedback
vertical signal is used for calibration.
Horizontal Output A3
The horizontal output amplifier provides the final stage of amplification of the
horizontal signal and drives the CRT horizontal plates directly. The input
signal from the analog board is current, and the output signal to the CRT is
a voltage.
High Voltage A3
This circuitry provides the necessary static and dynamic levels to support
the CRT biasing and Zaxis drive. The Zaxis amplifier provides amplification
of the Zaxis signal from the analog board which is a current. The output of
the Zaxis amplifier is then applied to the DC restorer circuitry which level
shifts this signal to the cathode level. A focus amplifier receives its input
signal from a user control on the front panel. This enables the user to opti
mize the CRT focus. Additional circuitry is provided to support the necessary
bias and operation levels for the CRT.
The External ZAxis connector provides the ability to modulate the Zaxis
amplifier circuit on the A3 Display Driver board, thus modulating or blanking
the intensity of the CRT display.
Vertical Termination (TAS 485 only)
Front Panel
36
The processor system sends and receives information to and from the A4
Front Panel board. The Front Panel board reads the frontpanel controls and
changes in their settings are reported to the processor system. The front
panel processor turns the LEDs on and off, generates the probe compensa
tion signal, and processes the probe coding interface signals.
Theory of Operation
Circuit Description
Menu Switches A4
Frontpanel menu switches are read by the Front Panel board and changes
in menu selections are sent to the processor system.
CPU A4
U101 is the frontpanel processor (FPP) and monitors the frontpanel con
trols. It is a single chip microprocessor with builtin RAM, ROM, AtoD
converter, programmable timer, and serial communications interface.
The frontpanel processor reports any changes in state of the frontpanel
controls to the U201 on the A5 CPU board via the serial communication
interface.
The programmable timer TCMP1 (U101 pin 2) produces a 0 to 5V, 1kHz
square wave signal (CALSIG) that is used for probe compensation. TCMP2
(U101 pin 1) produces a 0 to 5V, 1 kHz signal that is converted to ECL level
(DITHER) by the resistive divider R503-R505. DITHER is used by the Ana
log Signal Processor on the analog board.
FPP Pots and Probes A4
The pot/probe scanner working with the AtoD converter internal to the
frontpanel processor digitizes the inputs and reports the amount a pot has
turned and the type of probe used.
Control lines to analog multiplexers U420 and U421 determine whether to
scan for pots or probes. If pots are to be scanned, one of 10 possible pot
inputs is read from either multiplexer U420 or U421. The voltage at the wiper
of the pot selected is applied to the frontpanel processor and digitized. The
amount and direction of change from the previous stored value is calculated
and sent to the host processor 68331 on the processor board.
The intensity and readout intensity pots on the front bezel are stopped pots
and represent one input each on the analog multiplexer U420. The other 8
pot inputs on U420 and U421 represent the 4 continuous rotation pots on
the front panel which are made of two wipers separated by 180 degrees and
contact a single resistive arc. Each continuous rotation pot represents two
inputs to the multiplexers.
Analog multiplexer U420 also selects one of the 4 possible probe inputs.
The probe code resistance from the P6139 probe is converted to a voltage
by pullup resistors R411-R414. This voltage is read by the pot/probe
scanner and the probe type is determined and sent to the host processor.
LEDs and Driver A4
There are 5 LEDs (light emitting diodes) on the front panel which are con
nected between the outputs of an 8 bit LED latch, U202, and a pullup
resistor to +5 V. When a particular LED needs to be turned on or off, the
37
Circuit Description
frontpanel processor converts the LED identification received from the host
processor to the correct LED address on the latch (U202) and changes the
state of the LED.
Switches A4
The frontpanel switches and menu switches are arranged in an array of 9

rows and 8 columns. The switch scanner sets the nine row lines low in
sequence and performs an eight column scan to check for any changes in
state and reports these changes to the host processor. When a switch is
closed, one row is connected to one column line through an isolation diode
and the column line is pulled low indicating a switch closure.
Power Supply
The power supply is a switching power converter. It supplies power to all

oscilloscope circuitry.
Two generations of power supplies were produced. The early version re
quires the operator to configure it to the incoming line voltage; the later
version automatically adjusts to the incoming line voltage and has no exter
nal adjustments. The new power supply was introduced at serial number
B020100 and is not documented in this manual.
If an early model power supply is replaced with the later version, check with
your local Tektronix representative about obtaining the necessary firmware
upgrade.
The POWER switch, located on the front panel, controls all power to the
oscilloscope including the power supply.
Fan
38
The fan provides forced air cooling for the oscilloscope. It connects to +12V
on the A63 Power Supply board.
Theory of Operation
General Instructions
This Performance Verification section is divided into two subsections, Brief
Performance Checks and Performance Tests.
The Brief Performance Checks section contains procedures to verify the
operation of the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes.
The Performance Tests section contains procedures to confirm the
performance of the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes to its warranted
specifications.
Using the Brief

Performance Checks
Procedures
The Brief Performance Checks contain three procedures: PowerOn Self

Tests, Functional Tests, and Temperature Compensation Calibrations. Com
pleting these checks takes approximately one hour.
The Self Tests are performed each time the oscilloscope in powered on.
The Functional Tests use the probe compensation output on the front panel
as a testsignal source for further verifying that the oscilloscope functions
properly. A standardaccessory probe, included with this oscilloscope, is the
only equipment required.
To rapidly confirm that this oscilloscope functions and was adjusted proper
ly, perform the procedures in the Functional Tests section; which begin on
page 43.
Advantages: These procedures are quick to do, require no external equip
ment or signal sources, and provide high confidence that the oscilloscope
will perform properly. These also provide handson experience to become
familiar with the controls and menus.
The Temperature Compensation Calibrations allow you to adjust the display
accuracy of the oscilloscope.
Using the
Performance Tests
Procedures
The Performance Tests confirm that the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes
perform as specified. The Performance Tests begin on page 413. Complet
ing these tests takes approximately two hours and requires suitable test
equipment. (See Equipment Required on page 413.)
Advantages: These procedures add direct checking of warranted specifica
tions.
41

These procedures may ask you to check for a stable display. A stable dis
play is consistent. The display should not have its trigger point switching
slopes (double trigger) nor should it freerun." The MAIN SWP TRIG'D LED
should remain lit.
42
Brief Performance Checks

This section contains three brief procedures: two that verify the operation of
the TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes and one to perform a brief
calibration to compensate for temperature variances.
The PowerOn Self Tests use internal routines (performed at each power on)
to confirm basic functionality and proper adjustment.
The Functional Tests further verify that the oscilloscope functions properly.
These tests utilize the front panel PROBE COMP signal and a standard
accessory probe.
The Temperature Compensation Calibrations use internal routines and
actions from you to adjust the display accuracy of the oscilloscope. These
adjustments are typically necessary only when the operating temperature
and the last calibration temperature varies more than 5_ C. However,
performing these compensations before making a critical measurement
ensures optimum accuracy.
If any of these tests return a failed message or do not perform as stated,
contact your local Tektronix service center or sales engineer for more
information.
PowerOn Self Tests
These tests verify that the internal poweron diagnostics passed by confirm
ing no error messages are reported on screen.
Functional Tests
The purpose of these procedures is to confirm that this oscilloscope func

tions properly. The only equipment required is a standardaccessory probe.
These procedures verify function; that is, they verify that the oscillo
scope operates. They do not verify that it operates within limits.
Therefore, when the functional tests that follow instruct you to verify
that a signal appears on screen that is about five divisions in ampli
tude" or has a period of about six horizontal divisions," do not
interpret the quantities given as limits. Operation within limits is
checked in Performance Tests, which begin on page 413.
DO NOT make changes to the frontpanel settings that are not
called out in the procedures. Each verification procedure requires
you to set the oscilloscope to certain default settings before verifying
functions. If you make changes to these default settings, other than
those called out in the procedure, you may obtain invalid results. In
this case, begin the procedure again from step 1.

Temperature
Compensation
Calibrations
The procedures that follow allow you to quickly compensate the calibration
of the oscilloscope for any external temperature variations. This ensures the
most accurate measurements. No test equipment is required to perform
these procedures.
Optimum instrument performance depends on the recommended
20 minute minimum warmup time prior to performing the following
calibration routines. All calibration routines require a successful
completion (no failed" message).
The Temperature Compensation Calibrations affect the accuracy of

Performance Tests
This subsection contains procedures to verify that the TAS 455 and TAS 465
Analog Oscilloscopes perform as warranted.
The procedures are arranged in three logical groupings: Vertical Checks,
Horizontal Checks, and Trigger Checks. They check all the characteristics
that are designated as checked in Section 1, Specifications. (The checked
characteristics appear in boldface type under Warranted Characteristics in
Section 1.)
These procedures extend the confidence level provided by the Brief Perfor
mance Checks in this section.

Adjustment Procedures
This section contains information needed to adjust the TAS 455 and
TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes.
Description The Adjustment Procedures are divided into two parts:

H
General information about adjusting the oscilloscope
Written procedures for calibrating the oscilloscope
Purpose Use these procedures to return the oscilloscope to confor
mance with its Warranted Characteristics as listed in Section 1, Specifica

tions. They also optimize the performance of the oscilloscope.
These procedures are not required to verify the oscilloscope conforms with
its warranted characteristics. Performance verification procedures are found
in Section 4, Performance Verification.
Adjustment Interval As a general rule, perform these adjustments after

every 2,000 hours of operation or once a year if used infrequently.
Requirements for
Performance
Before you perform this procedure, you need to address the following
requirements.
Personnel
This procedure is only to be performed by trained service technicians.
Access to Adjustments
The cabinet must be removed to perform the adjustment procedure. Refer to
Section 6, Maintenance, for procedures to remove the cabinet. The adjust
ment procedures make references to adjustments located on internal circuit
boards. Figure 51 shows the location of each board with adjustments. The
end of this section contains figures that show the location of each adjust
ment for each circuit board.
WarmUp Period
This oscilloscope requires a 20 minute warmup period in a 20_ C to 30_ C
environment before performing this adjustment procedure. Adjustments
performed before the operating temperature has stabilized may cause errors
in performance.

Figure 51:Location of Boards for Adjustments
Equipment Required
These procedures use external, traceable signal sources to adjust the

TAS 455 and TAS 465 Oscilloscopes. Table 41 on page 414 lists all the test
equipment required for these procedures.
Performing the
Adjustment
Procedures
The following topics cover what is required to adjust the oscilloscope. Also,
the performance of individual adjustments is discussed.
52
The Factory Horizontal Cal and Factory Vertical Cal adjustment routines
are selected from the Utility menu of the oscilloscope. These routines use
both frontpanel controls and external standards you provide in response to
instructions displayed on the CRT readout.
Complete Adjustment
A complete adjustment consists of a sequence of individual adjustment
steps performed in the order shown:
1. Power Supply Adjustment
2. CRT Adjustment
3. Low Frequency Output Compensation
4. Factory Horizontal Cal
5. Factory Vertical Cal
6. High Frequency Step Response Adjustment
7. Attenuator Compensation
8. Vertical Gain Adjustment
Partial Adjustment
The Adjustment Procedures allow you to make individual adjustments of the
steps outlined above; however, usually all adjustment steps are made. Read
the information under Adjustment Dependencies that follows before perform
ing an individual adjustment.
Adjustment Dependencies
Some adjustments depend on the successful prior completion of other
adjustments. Generally, the procedures should be performed in the order
shown under Complete Adjustment. Some adjustments do not depend on
completion of other adjustments. Table 51 lists the adjustments and their
dependencies.

Maintenance
Inspection and Cleaning

Inspection and Cleaning describes how to inspect and clean the TAS 455
and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes. Inspection and cleaning are preventive
maintenance. Preventive maintenance, when done regularly, may prevent
oscilloscope malfunction and enhance its reliability.
Preventive maintenance consists of visually inspecting and cleaning the
oscilloscope and using general care when operating it.
How often to do maintenance depends on the severity of the environment in
which you use the oscilloscope. A proper time to perform preventive mainte
nance is just before oscilloscope adjustment.
General Care
The cabinet helps keep dust out of the oscilloscope and it is a major compo
nent of its cooling system. It should normally be in place when operating the
oscilloscope. The oscilloscope front cover protects the front panel and
display from dust and damage. Install it when storing or transporting the
oscilloscope.
Inspection and
Cleaning Procedures
Inspect and clean the oscilloscope as often as operating conditions require.

The collection of dirt on components inside can cause them to overheat and
breakdown. (Dirt acts as an insulating blanket, preventing efficient heat
dissipation.) Dirt also provides an electrical conduction path that could cause
an oscilloscope failure, especially under highhumidity conditions.
CAUTION
Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents that might damage the
plastics used in this oscilloscope. Use a 75% isopropyl alcohol
solution as a cleaner and rinse with deionized water. Use only
deionized water when cleaning the menu buttons or frontpanel
buttons. Before using any other type of cleaner, consult your Tektro
nix 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).
65
Inspection Exterior
Inspect the outside of the oscilloscope for damage, wear, and missing parts.
Use Table 62 as a guide. Oscilloscopes that appear to have been dropped
or otherwise abused should be checked thoroughly to verify correct opera
tion and performance. Repair defects that could cause personal injury or
lead to further damage to the oscilloscope immediately.

pose detergentandwater solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
CAUTION
To prevent getting moisture inside the oscilloscope during external

cleaning, use only enough liquid to dampen the cloth or applicator.
3. Clean the CRT screen with a lintfree cloth dampened with either a
75% isopropyl alcohol solution or, preferably, a gentle, general purpose
detergentandwater solution.
NOTE
If the CRT Implosion Shield needs further cleansing, refer to the
procedure on page 67.
66
Maintenance
Cleaning Procedure Interior

If, after doing steps 1 and 2, a module is clean upon inspection, skip
the remaining steps.
1. Blow off dust with dry, lowpressure, deionized air (approximately 9 psi).
2. Remove any remaining dust with a lint free cloth dampened in isopropyl
alcohol (75% solution) and rinse with a warm deionized water. (A
cottontipped applicator is useful for cleaning in narrow spaces and on
circuit boards.)
3. If steps 1 and 2 do not remove all the dust or dirt, the oscilloscope may
be spray washed using a solution of 75% isopropyl alcohol by doing
steps 4 through 8.
4. Gain access to the parts to be cleaned by removing easily accessible
shields and panels (see Removal and Installation Procedures).
5. Spray wash dirty parts with the isopropyl alcohol solution and wait
60 seconds for the majority of the alcohol to evaporate.
6. Use hot (+50_C to +60_C) deionized water to thoroughly rinse them.
7. Dry all parts with lowpressure, deionized air.
8. Dry all components and assemblies in an oven or drying compartment
using lowtemperature (+50_C to +60_C) circulating air.
Cleaning the CRT Implosion Shield

This procedure describes how to clean both sides of the CRT Implo
sion Shield, thus requiring its removal. Perform this procedure only if
cleaning the backside of the Implosion Shield is necessary.
1. Remove the Implosion Shield as described in the removal and replace
ment procedures beginning on page 628.
2. Clean the shield with a lint free cloth dampened in a general purpose
detergentandwater solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.
3. Remove any static charge that may have accumulated by holding the
shield in a deionized air flow.

Troubleshooting
This subsection contains information and procedures designed to help you
isolate problems to a faulty module in the oscilloscope. If a module needs to
be removed for repair or replacement, follow the Removal and Installation
Procedures located in this section.
Troubleshooting
Procedure
If the oscilloscope does not perform correctly, note each symptom or failure.
Next, refer to the Symptom Matrix Table (Table 65). Locate the symptoms
that most closely resemble the symptoms you noted. If there are multiple
symptoms, use a process of elimination to reduce the number of possible
faulty modules. Identify possible faulty modules, and then perform the
troubleshooting procedure/s indicated.
The cabinet must be removed to gain access to the modules for measuring
signals and voltages. Refer to the Removal and Installation Procedures
beginning on page 69 for instructions to remove the cabinet.

Repackaging Information
If you ship the TAS 455 or TAS 465 Oscilloscope, pack it in the original
shipping carton and packing material. If the original packing material is not
available, package the instrument as follows:
1. Obtain a corrugated cardboard shipping carton with inside dimensions
at least 15cm (6in) taller, wider, and deeper than the TAS 455 or
TAS 465 Oscilloscope. The shipping carton must be constructed of
cardboard with 170 kg (375 pound) test strength.
2. If you are shipping the TAS 455 or TAS 465 Oscilloscope to a Tektronix
field office for repair, attach a tag to the oscilloscope showing the instru
ment owner and address, the name of the person to contact about the
instrument, the instrument type, and the serial number.
3. Wrap the oscilloscope with polyethylene sheeting or equivalent material
to protect the finish.
4. Cushion the oscilloscope in the shipping carton by tightly packing
dunnage or urethane foam on all sides between the carton and the
oscilloscope. Allow 7.5cm (3in) on all sides, top, and bottom.
5. Seal the shipping carton with shipping tape or an industrial stapler.

Diagrams and Circuit Board Illustrations

This section contains circuit board illustrations, component locator tables,
waveform illustrations, and schematic diagrams for this oscilloscope.
Symbols
Graphic symbols and class designation letters are based on ANSI Standard
Y32.21975. Abbreviations are based on ANSI Y1.11972.
Logic symbology is based on ANSI/IEEE Std 911984 in terms of positive
logic. Logic symbols depict the logic function performed and can differ from
the manufacturer 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:

Values one or greater are in picofarads (pF). Values less

than one are in microfarads (mF).
Values are in Ohms (W).
Each assembly in the instrument is assigned an assembly identifier (for

example, MAIN or A5). The assembly identifier appears on the circuit board
outline on the diagram (see Figure 91), in the title for the circuit board
component location illustration, and in the lookup table for the schematic
diagram and corresponding component locator illustration. The Replaceable
Electrical Parts list is arranged by assemblies in numerical sequence; the
components are listed by component number.

Component Locator
Diagrams
The schematic diagram and circuit board component location illustrations

have grids. A lookup table is provided for ease of locating a component. The
circuit board illustration only appears once; its lookup table lists the diagram
number of all diagrams that the circuitry appears on.
Some of the circuit board component location illustrations are expanded and
divided into several parts to make it easier for you to locate small compo
nents. To determine which part of the whole locator diagram you are looking
at, refer to the small locator key positioned at the upper left of each circuit
board component locator diagram, as shown in Figure 92. The gray block,
within the larger circuit board outline, shows where that part fits in the whole
locator diagram. Each part in the key is labeled with an identifying letter
which appears in the figure titles under component locator diagrams.

Replaceable Mechanical Parts

This section contains a list of the components that are replaceable for the
TAS 455 and TAS 465 Analog Oscilloscopes. As described below, use this
list to identify and order replacement parts. There is a separate Replaceable
Parts List for each instrument.
Parts Ordering
Information
Replacement parts are available from or through your local Tektronix, Inc.,
service center or representative.
Changes to Tektronix instruments are sometimes made to accommodate
improved components as they become available and to give you the benefit
of the latest circuit improvements. Therefore, when ordering parts, it is
important to include the following information in your order:
H
Part number
Instrument type or model number
Instrument serial number
Instrument modification number, if applicable
If a part you order has been replaced with a different or improved part, your
local Tektronix service center or representative will contact you concerning
any change in the part number.
Using the
Replaceable Parts
List
The tabular information in the Replaceable Parts List is arranged for quick
retrieval. Understanding the structure and features of the list will help you
find all the information you need for ordering replacement parts.
Item Names
In the Replaceable Parts List, an Item Name is separated from the descrip
tion by a colon (:). Because of space limitations, an Item Name may some
times appear as incomplete. For further Item Name identification, U.S.
Federal Cataloging Handbook H61 can be used where possible.

Indentation System
This parts list is indented to show the relationship between items. The
following example is of the indentation system used in the Description
column:

Attaching parts for Parts of Detail Part
Attaching parts always appear at the same indentation as the item it
mounts, while the detail parts are indented to the right. Indented items are
part of, and included with, the next higher indentation. Attaching parts must
be purchased separately, unless otherwise specified.
