Operating Instructions
This section duplicates material contained in your instrument’s User manual. The
information is presented here for the convenience of service personnel. This
section contains a brief introduction, “minimal” operating instructions (in six
easy steps!), general menu information, an overview of the instrument functions,
and brief instructions for displaying the desired signal. Please consult the User
manual any time you need a more complete explanation of these or any other
topics.
Getting Started
The Tektronix WFM 601 Serial Digital Component Monitor has been designed
for ease of operation. If you have previous experience with waveform monitors
and vectorscopes, you may be able to operate the instrument without referring
frequently to this section. However, you should be aware of the following
“special characteristics” of the WFM
601:
H
Each type of Waveform display (one line, two line, one field, and two field)
has one level of horizontal magnification that may be turned on and off with
the MAG button. The level of magnification depends on the display type;
you can sequentially display the four magnified views by repeatedly pressing
the Line/Field SWEEP button (once SWEEP MAG has been selected).
H
The Bowtie Display subtracts channels 2 and 3 from channel 1 and
automatically displays the results in a “parade” format. This lets you use the
Tektronix-developed Bowtie test signal to check and adjust inter-channel
timing on component systems.
H
Audio signals are input through the rear-panel REMOTE connector. See
“Installation” for the pin assignments.
H
The five buttons arranged vertically to the right of the display are called
Bezel Buttons. Use these buttons to toggle or select the on-screen menu
options that they are aligned with.
H
The middle three knobs under the display are called Bezel controls. Turn
these knobs to adjust the parameters—or scroll through the lists—that appear
above them on the display screen.
Operating Instructions
1. Connect the serial digital signal to the instrument (SER A or SER B); add a
termination to the loop-through connector, if necessary.
