Connecting the SDA601
Figure 2- 2: Connecting the SDA601
Connect the instrument as shown in Figure 2--2. The OPTION connector is
reserved for later versions of the instrument. Note that the SDA601 has many
capabilities and features, and you may wish to gain familiarity with it by first
connecting it directly to a serial digital, component video signal generator such
as the Tektronix TSG601, an analog video monitor, and—if convenient—a
compact printer, such as the Seiko DPU 411 printer (Tektronix part number
119-4594-00), available from Tektronix distributors and through TekDirect.
