General

information

The

Tektronix

Type

519

Oscilloscope

is

a

wide-band

laboratory

type

instrument

designed

expressly

for

the

observation

and

measurement

of

high-frequency

phenomena.

Fast

linear

sweeps,

high

crt

accelerating

potential,

high

sensitivity,

wide-band

trigger

system,

and

extreme

bandwidth

permit

single-shot

photo-

graphic

recording

of

fractional

nanosecond

signals.

An

internal

delay

line

in

the

vertical

channel

of

the

instrument

eliminates

the

need

for

adjusting

cable

lengths.

Since

the

length

of

the

delay

line

remains

constant,

the

band-

width

of

the

Type

519

also

remains

constant.

The

Type

519

incorporates

an

adjustable

repetition

rate

fast-rise

pulse

generator

and

a

fast-rise

calibration-step

generator

which

can

supply

waveforms

to

check

the

calibration

of

the

oscilloscope

itself

or

drive

external

devices.

These

generators

meet

most

require-

ments

to

complete

a

test

setup.

PRELIMINARY

INSTRUCTIONS

Cooling

A

blower

maintains

safe

operating

temp-

erature

in

the

Type

519

Oscilloscope

by

drawing

air

through

a

filter

and

circulating

it

over

the

components.

Therefore,

the

instrument

must

be

placed

so

that

the

air

intake

and

cabinet

ventilating

holes

are

not

blocked.

The

air

filter

must

be

kept

clean

to

permit

adequate

air

flow.

A

thermal

cutout

switch

will

disconnect

the

dc

power

if

air

flow

is

restricted

or

ambient

temperature

is

too

high.

DC

power

will

return

when

the

temperature

drops

to

a

safe

value.

The

pilot

lamp

will

increase

to

full

brightness

in

event

of

loss

of

dc

power.

The

Focus

and

Astigmatism

The

FOCUS

and

ASTIGMATISM

controls

operate

collectively

to

permit

a

sharp,

clearly

defined

spot

or

trace

to

be

obtained.

The

proper

setting

of

the

ASTIGMATISM

control

is

obtained

by

rotating

the

FOCUS

control

fully

clockwise,

setting

the

PULSE

AMPLITUDE

or

SYNC

control

fully

counterclockwise,

and

setting

the

INTENSITY

control

high

enough

so

the

spot

is

visible

(it

may

be

necessary

to

adjust

the

POSITIONING

controls),

Then

adjust

the

ASTIGMATISM

control

to

obtain

the

most

circular

spot

possible.

The

FOCUS

control

is

then

adjusted

to

reduce

the

spot

diameter

as

much

as

possible.

This

method

of

spot

adjustment

is

made

with

no

input

signal

applied

©

to

the

SIGNAL

125

input

connector.

Also,

the

ambient

light

in

the

room

should

be

kept

low

or

the

viewing

hood

should

be

used

so

the

spot

can

be

observed

at

a

low

intensity

level.

Another

method

for

adjusting

the

spot

size

—

would

be

to

couple

a

10-volt

step

waveform

from

either

the

RATE

GENERATOR

or.

the

CALIBRATION-STEP

GENERATOR

to

the

SIG-

|

NAL

12592

connector.

When

the

step

waveform

is

displayed

on

the

screen,

the

FOCUS

control

is

adjusted

to

narrow

the

trace

during

the

rising

portion

of

the

waveform.

The

ASTIG-

MATISM

control,

is

used

to

narrow

the

trace

along

the

horizontal

portion

of

the

same

wave-

form.

Since

the

two

controls

interact,

repeat

the

procedure

to

obtain

a

sharply-defined

trace

in

both

the

vertical

and

horizontal

direction.

POSITIONING

Two

VERTICAL

and

HORIZONTAL,

are

used

to

allow

the

trace

to

be

positioned

to

the

control,

AXIS

is

used

to

align

the

trace

with

the

horizontal

centerline

of

the

graticule.

The

VERTICAL

position

control

has

suf-

range

to

allow

the

trace

to

be

positioned

completely

off

the

top or

bottom

of

the

screen

or

to

any

intermediate

point.

The

trace

moves

up

when

the

control

is

rotated

clockwise

and

down

when

the

control

is

rotated

counter-

clockwise.

The

HORIZONTAL

position

control

causes

.

the

trace

to

move

to

the

right

when

it

is

rotated

in

the

clockwise

direction

and

to

the

Page7

left

when

it

is

rotated

counterclockwise.

The

total

horizontal

positioning

range

of

the

_is

about

2

centimeters.

The

AXIS

ROTATION

control

is

a

screw-

driver

adjustment

located

between

the

VER-

TICAL

and

HORIZONTAL

controls.

This

adjust-

ment

permits

the

trace

to

be

rotated

about

an

axis

through

the

center

of

The

control

is

adjusted

to

align

the

centerline.

VERTICAL-DEFLECTION

SYSTEM

Input

Signal

Connection

The

electrical

signal

to

be

observed

is

applied

externally

through

a

125-ohm

coaxial

cable

to

the

SIGNAL

1252

connector.

The

Signal

passes

internally

first

through

atrigger-

energy

takeoff,

then

through

a

45-nsec

delay

cable

to

the

distributed

vertical

deflection

plates

of

the

crt.

The

signal

causes

the

spot

to

be

deflected

vertically.

The

spot

traces

out

the

signal

waveform

on

the

screen

as

the

spot

is

deflected

horizontally

by

the

horizontal

sweep

circuits.

The

vertical

size

of

the

displayed

waveform

is

adjusted

to

a

suitable

amplitude

by

inserting

external

attenuators

or

an

amplifier

in

series

with

the

signal-carrying

cable.

Or,

if

the

CALIBRATION-STEP

GENERATOR

is

being

used

as

the

signal

source,

the

vertical

amplitude

of

the

waveform

can

be

adjusted

by

means

of

the

CALIBRATION-STEP

GEN-

ERATOR

front-pane!

controls.

The

vertical

sensitivity

of

the

Type

519

Oscilloscope

is

the

same

as

the

sensitivity

of

the

crt

mounted.in

the

instrument.

Each

crt for

the

Type

519

is

measured

for

sensitivity

and

risetime

at

the

factory.

These

measure-

ments

are

then

clearly

recorded

on

the

crt

face

mask.

The

sensitivity

measurement

can

be

checked

at

any

time

by

using

the

CALI-

BRATION-STEP

GENERATOR.

To

check

the

measurement,

connect

a

125-

ohm

cable

from

the

OUTPUT

125Q

connector

to

the

SIGNAL

125

connector.

Set

the

(CALI-

BRATION-STEP

GENERATOR)

RANGE

switch

to

10V

TO

125Q

and

rotate

the

VOLTS

control

to

10.00.

Adjust

the

oscilloscope

front-panel

controls

for

a

stable

presentation

of

the

step

waveform.

Rotate

the

VOLTS

control

counter-

clockwise

until

that

portion

of

the

waveform

located

2

nsec

after

the

rise

is

exactly

one

Page

8

centimeter

high.

The

exact

vertical

sensitivity

in

volts

per

centimeter

can

now

be

readdirectly

from

the

VOLTS

dial.

For

example,

if

the

VOLTS

dial

shows

a

.

reading

of

8.70,

the

vertical

deflection

factor

is

8.7

volts

per

centimeter.

When

connecting

the

oscilloscope

to

any

signal

source,

the

connections

should

be

made

directly

through

125-ohm

cables

or

through

suitable

impedance

matching

devices

to

the

SIGNAL

125Q

connector.

If

the

signal

amplitude

is

too

great,

it

will

be

necessary

to

attenuate

the

signal

to

a

usable

level

before

applying

it

to

the

SIGNAL

125

connector.

This

can

be

done

by

inserting

a

125Q

attenuator

(or

known

attenuation

factor)

between

the

signal

source

and

the

SIGNAL

125Q

connector.

Attenuators

may

be

used

individually

or

may

be

"

stacked"

(connected

in

series).

If

the

signal

amplitude

is

too

low

to

produce

sufficient

vertical

deflection,

an

external

ampli-

fier

can

be

inserted

between

the

signal

source

and

the

SIGNAL

1252

connector.

However,

if

the

amplifier

does

not

provide

the

correct

‘input

and

output

impedance,

or

has

limited

bandwidth,

signal

waveform

errors

may

result.

In

addition,

if

the

amplifier

stages

do

not

operate

linearly

the

signal

will

not

be

repro-

duced

faithfully

on

the

crt.

In

general,

to

obtain

an

accurate

waveform

display

and

to

prevent

unwanted

reflection

of

high-frequency

waveforms

or

of

fast-rise

pulses,

all

cables

should

be

terminated

in

their

characteristic

impedances.

Delaying

the

Signal

+

The

Type

519

Oscilloscope

contains

a

fixed

signal-delay

line

which

permits

the

sweep

to

be

well

under

way

before

displaying

the

leading

edge

of

an

input

signal.

By

means

of

the

fixed

signal-delay

line,

the

input

signal

is

purposely

delayed

45

nanoseconds

before

arriving

at

the

vertical

deflection

plates.’

This

amount

of

delay

allows

sufficient

time

for

the

trigger

circuits

to

process

the

trigger

signal

and

start

the

sweep.

The

DELAY

control

delays

the

start

of

the

sweep

from

O

to

35

nanoseconds.

Within

this

range

of

time,

the

DELAY

control

can

be

used

to

select

the

display

time

and

thus

apparently

position

the

waveform

horizontally

on

the

screen.
