WARNING
GROUNDING. For electric shock protection, make the grounding
connection before making any connection to the instrument's input
or output terminals. This instrument is safety Class 1 equipment
(IEC designation). All accessible conductive parts are directly
connected through the grounding conductor of the power cord to
the grounded (earth) contact of the power plug.
Any interruption of the grounding connection can create an electriĆ
cal shock hazard. The power input plug must be inserted only in a
mating receptacle with a grounding contact where earth ground
has been verified by a qualified service person. Do not defeat the
grounding connection.

WARNING
AC POWER SOURCE AND CONNECTION. An improper voltage
supply can damage the instrument. The instrument operates from a
singleĆphase power source. It has a threeĆwire power cord and
twoĆpole, threeĆterminal grounding type plug. The voltage to
ground (earth) from either pole of the power source must not
exceed the maximum rated operating voltage, 250 V.
Before making connection to the power source, check that the LINE
VOLTAGE SELECTOR is set to match the voltage of the power
source and has a suitable twoĆpole, threeĆterminal groundingĆtype
plug.

Operating Information

Memory Backup
Power

There are four batteries within the instrument that allow the retention of
volatile memory upon loss of the AC power source. These selfĆcontained
power sources provide memory backup power to retain the following:
H

frontĆpanel settings

H

stored settings

H

stored waveforms

H

Time & Date parameters

H

some of the Time Base Cal Constants (these are regenerated automatiĆ
cally if lost)

H

the number of hours of instrument onĆtime, number of powerĆon seĆ
quences, and instrument serial number

The batteries have a nominal shelf life of approximately five years.

Operating
Environment

The following environmental requirements are provided so that you can
ensure proper functioning and extend the operation of the instrument.

Operating Temperature
The instrument can be operated where the ambient air temperature is beĆ
tween 0_ C and +50_ C and can be stored in ambient temperatures from
-40_ C to +75_ C. After storage at temperatures outside the operating
limits, allow the chassis to reach the safe operating temperature before
applying power.

Ventilation Requirements
The fan draws air through the side panels of the instrument and blows air
out through the rear to cool the instrument. To ensure that this cooling
process occurs properly, allow at least two inches clearance on both sides
and the rear of the instrument. The top and bottom of the instrument do not
require ventilation clearance.

System Functional Overview

Executive Processor
Block

After the user requests an operation (with a front panel control for instance),
the Executive Processor (EXP) directs the CSA 803C to perform this operaĆ
tion. Another primary function of the EXP is to execute diagnostic SelfĆTests
on the instrument when poweringĆon or at the user's request. To control
operations, the EXP controls and monitors the other circuit boards sharing
the executive system bus. Through the executive bus boards, the EXP also
indirectly controls all other instrument boards. The EXP generates comĆ
mands and status signals to control onĆboard devices and I/O devices, such
as GPIB and RSĆ232ĆC interfaces, that help process data and help control
the rest of the instrument.

Memory Management
Unit Block

The memory management unit (MMU) arbitrates requests for access to the
Waveform Memory from the following three sources:


the EXP



the Time Base/Controller



the display system

This arbitration allows all three systems transparent access to the Waveform
Memory.

Waveform Memory
Block

Waveform Memory is shared among the following processors:


the EXP



the Display



the Time Base/Controller

While the main function of the Waveform Memory is the storage of waveform
data and waveform related information, the shared memory is also used to
pass messages between the Executive, Display, and Time Base/Controller
processors. Eventually, all acquired waveforms are transferred from the
Acquisition system memory to the Waveform Memory for display.

3Ć4

Theory of Operation

System Functional Overview

Front Panel Controls

User control of the CSA 803C is primarily through the following three front
panel controls:


the frontĆpanel majorĆmenu buttons



the touch panel



the multifunction knobs

The major menu buttons are the top level menu selections for the instruĆ
ment. Touching an icon, menu item, or waveform selects that particular icon,
menu item, or waveform, respectively. The multifunction knobs control the
function of the particular item that is selected.

I/O Block

The I/O block provides a GPIB port, RSĆ232ĆC port, and a PRINTER port for
interfacing various I/O devices to the instrument.

Waveform
Compressor and
Display Control Block

The display subsystem provides all visual output to the user. This includes
not only data output such as waveform traces, graticules, axes, and annotaĆ
tion, but displays supporting the human interface as well (which includes
menus, labeling for touch panel input, and an interactive output to assist in
operating the system; that is, the current modeĆsetting information).
The CSA 803C uses a custom vertical rasterĆscan display that provides
excellent resolution for both waveform display and text. The display system
produces the display by the following:
1. transferring waveform data from the Waveform Memory
2. compressing it into 512 horizontal pixels
3. converting it to a format compatible with the vertical rasterĆscan display
The Waveform Compressor takes waveforms with more than 512 data points
and compresses these points into 512 groups. For example, for a 1024Ćpoint
waveform, each group would contain two points; for 2048Ćpoint waveforms,
each group would contain four points. The Waveform Compressor finds the
largest and smallest vertical value in a group of points and then draws a
vector between the maximum and minimum Ċ even in dots" mode. The
only difference between dots and vectors is that in vector mode the vectors
are extended vertically to meet the vector on the next scan line.

A1 M/F Strobe Drive
Board

The A1 M/F Strobe Drive board consists of the following circuits:


Data buffers circuitry



Address latch circuitry



Function decoder circuitry



Internal clock rate generator circuitry



Control buffers circuitry

See Figure 9Ć2 for a block diagram of this board.

Data Buffers
This circuit buffers the A5 Time Base/Controller board's address and data
buses with bidirectional buffers, and the A5 Time Base/Controller board's
control lines with octal buffers.

Address Latch
This circuit buffers and latches the address for the A5 Time Base/Controller
board to use.

Function Decoder
This circuit partially decodes this latched address and enables the data
buffers if the address is on this board or the A27 & A28 Acquisition system
boards (controlled through this board). The function decoder also selects
the appropriate direction of the data buffers to perform a read or write operaĆ
tion.

Internal Clock Rate Generator
This circuit is a 16Ćbit programmable counter that is tied to the ÷ 2 flipĆflop
that produces the square wave output. The overall division ratio of this block
can be programmed from 22 to 217. The internal clock rate generator is
programmed at powerĆon to provide a 100 kHz output given a 4 MHz input
on jumper J35.

A5 Time
Base/Controller
Board

The A5 Time Base Controller board consists of the following circuitry:


Microprocessor (MPU)



RAM/ROM



Trigger circuitry



Time Base circuitry



Acquisition system interface



Memory management unit (MMU) interface

See Figure 9Ć4 for the block diagram of this board.

Microprocessor
The microprocessor controls the time base and trigger circuitry in response
to commands from the Executive Processor, performs local onĆline calibraĆ
tion of the time base, schedules waveform acquisitions, and manages the
Acquisition system and waveform data transfers.

RAM/ROM Memory
Both RAM and ROM memory reside within the microprocessor's 1 Mbyte of
address space. The upper 256 Kbytes is reserved as ROM, the lower
128 Kbytes of static RAM is provided for dynamic data storage and local
nonĆvolatile memory. There are 32 Kbytes of memoryĆprovided communicaĆ
tion and waveform storage for the CSA 803C's 8 channels, and another
32 Kbytes for the Strobe Distribution block of the oscilloscope and multiplexĆ
ers. There are 512 Kbytes of memory assigned as communication and
primary waveform storage. Another 32 Kbytes are used to map the commuĆ
nication buffer of the parallel interface with the memory management unit,
and the remaining 32 Kbytes are divided into I/O space and time base
control.

Trigger
This circuitry Is comprised of the trigger recognizer and gated voltage conĆ
trol oscillator. The trigger circuits accept trigger signals from either the Direct
or Prescaler Inputs. The strobe sense signal and internal feedback signals
are used in the SelfĆTests diagnostic process but are not normally used for
data acquisition.
The trigger recognizer sees a valid direct or prescale trigger signal and
outputs this signal to the voltage controlled oscillator that sets the timing for
the strobe signal.
The direct trigger input allows programmed slope and level selection, but
the prescale trigger input is not adjustable.

change. Triggering is held off to beyond the rightmost point in the Main
record. The minimum value is 5 ms. The Actual Holdoff (auto mode) calculaĆ
tion is:
Actual Holdoff (auto mode) = max (5 ms, 5 ms+Main Pos+Duration)
where Duration = Main Size  10 divisions.
Manual Holdoff extends the trigger holdoff to longer periods, up to 2.5 seĆ
conds. The Actual Holdoff value depends on the value of Requested Holdoff
in addition to the time base settings. The Actual Holdoff (manual mode)
calculation is:
Actual Holdoff (manual mode) = max (5 ms, 5 ms+Main Pos+Duration,
Requested Holdoff)

 

This circuit is a very precise slewing delay generator. It accepts triggers from
the reference oscillator, generates a precise delay, and outputs a strobeĆ
drive pulse.
The time base circuitry consists of a TECL integrated circuit (IC), which
contains three sixĆbit highĆspeed counters, and a CMOS IC, which contains
a 48Ćbit programmable strobe delay generator.
On the first sample of the waveform, the sample is taken immediately after a
starting delay. Subsequent samples are delayed by a small additional
amount, called the dot delay. The dot delay is programmed and stored into
the strobe delay register. Each sample is delayed by one delay more than
the previous sample. The dot delay can vary from 10 fs to 20 ns depending
on the horizontal size and the number of points in the waveform record.
The sampling interval (incremental delay between samples) is the total
acquisition time (time/division  10 divisions) divided by the number of
points acquired.

  	

This circuit contains 16 Kbytes of RAM (physically located on the A28 AcĆ
quisition MPU board) that is shared between the Acquisition system and the
Time Base/Controller. This RAM is mapped into the microprocessor memory
space so that it can be accessed as any other RAM Ċ either by the microĆ
processor itself or the DMA controller.
This shared memory allows the microprocessor to transfer waveforms from
the Acquisition system to the Waveform Memory using DMA. It also provides
a mailbox structure for commands and data passed between the two sysĆ
tems.

The A8 CRT Driver board consists of the following circuits:


Horizontal sweep circuitry



Vertical sweep circuitry



High voltage and grid voltage generator circuitry



Degauss circuit



Beam current limit circuit



Grid bias circuit

The A8 CRT Driver board circuitry drives the raster scan CRT. The VIDEO
and SYNC signals from the A15 MMU board generate the ZĆaxis signal,
sweep signals, and grid bias voltages for the CRT.
See Figure 9Ć6 for a block diagram of this board.


# 
"
This circuit generates the sweep current for the horizontal deflection yoke.
The horizontal driver includes an oscillator, a voltage ramp generator, a
highĆgain amplifier, and a flyback generator. These components provide
sweep synchronization, horizontal deflection, and linearity.
The horizontal adjustments, HĆSIZE, HĆPOS, and HĆLIN, allow you to optiĆ
mize the appearance of the display.

 
"
This circuit produces a deflection current that sweeps the video beam from
the bottom to the top of the CRT. This circuit also produces a flyback signal
to the flyback transformer that is in parallel with the deflection yoke.
The vertical adjustments, VERT SIZE and VERT POS, set the vertical size
and position of the display.


   	  	
This circuit includes the flyback transformer that generates the 16 kV CRT
anode potential and other bias voltages. This transformer is coupled and
synchronized with the vertical deflection system.
The SCREEN adjustment provides the cutoff point; that is, the point where
no information is visible on the display screen. The FOCUS adjustment
provides manual focusing of the display image.

Two other signals of interest are GPIB RQ and GPIB GR. These signals are
used by the DMA Controller on the A17 Executive Processor board to comĆ
municate with the GPIB controller. The DMA can be programmed by the
microprocessor to service either the Inbyte register or the Outbyte register.

Standard RSĆ232ĆC Controller
This communications controller Is connected to the same data bus and
address bus as the GPIB controller. The RPD7ĆRPD0 address lines transfer
data to and from the microprocessor. The RPA1ĆRPA4 address lines are
used by the microprocessor to select individual registers in the GPIB controlĆ
ler. The STD RS SEL line goes low when the microprocessor wants to comĆ
municate with the RSĆ232ĆC controller. (This line also drives the Chip
Enable.)
The RD and WR signals are driven by the microprocessor to signal if the
GPIB controller is to be read from or written into. The controller sets the STD
RS INTR (interrupt) line low to request service from the microprocessor. The
microprocessor writes a byte into the controller's transmit buffer to transmit
data on the RSĆ232ĆC bus. The microprocessor reads a byte from the receivĆ
er buffer to receive data from the RSĆ232ĆC bus. The microprocessor can
also read the status of the controller. The RSĆ232ĆC controller translates the
parallel data from the microprocessor to serial data from RXD on the
RSĆ232ĆC bus to parallel data for the microprocessor.
There are transmit and receive buffers that are compatible with the
RSĆ232ĆC bus. Clear To Send (CTS) and Data Set Ready (DSR) are
RSĆ232ĆC control signals that can be controlled by the microprocessor.
Request To Send (RTS) and Data Terminal Ready (DTR) are signals that can
be read by the microprocessor. The received signal detect (RSD) control
signal is always high when power is on. This RSĆ232ĆC port is a DCE type.

Printer Port
The CentronicsĆstyle printer port, J111, is controlled by a programmable
peripheral interface IC. This IC has all the control lines necessary to connect
to a microprocessor, plus two general purpose eightĆbit ports and the conĆ
trol signals to use them. The A12 Rear Panel Assembly Data bus and AdĆ
dress bus connect to the IC and have the same function as described for
the GPIB and RSĆ232ĆC controllers. The Printer Sel line is set low by the
microprocessor when it is communicating with the interface. The RD and
WR lines allow the microprocessor to either read or write to the registers in
the programmable peripheral interface IC. This IC must be initialized by the
microprocessor for Port A to be a strobed input port. Port C provides the
control signals.

A13 Mother Board

A14 Input/Output
(I/O) Board

The A13 Mother board provides the interconnection for the microprocessor
signals and the +5 V power among the following boards:


A14 I/O board



A15 Memory Management Unit (MMU) board



A17 Executive Processor board



A18 Memory board

The A14 I/O board contains the following circuitry:


Data buffers



Timer configuration circuitry



Real time clock



Serial data interface (SDI)



Temp/tone readback buffer



Tone generator



GPIB control circuitry

See Figure 9Ć8 for a block diagram of this board.
The A14 I/O board is an interface between the Executive Processor (EXP)
and devices on the A9, A10, and A11 Front Panel boards, the A12 Rear
Panel assembly, and onĆboard I/O devices. The EXP reads and writes to
these I/O devices at specific I/O addresses. These I/O addresses are deĆ
coded to produce device select signals which enable the addressed device.
Each I/O device is located on I/O address boundaries of at least 100 .
The lower eight bits of the Executive data bus transmit data to and from the
various I/O devices. Note that only one I/O device can be accessed at a
time.

I/O Data Buffer
This circuit buffers the lower eight bits of the Executive data bus from P105.
The output of the I/O data bus drives data to the following six onĆboard
devices:

Block Diagram Descriptions

I/O Delayed Data Buffer
This circuit is the interface between the I/O data bus and the Write Delayed
data bus.

Timer Configuration
This circuitry is composed of a latch and three twoĆinput data multiplexers
built with discrete gates. When a byte of data on the I/O data bus is latched,
some of the data bits individually configure counters 1 and 2, allowing the
timer to accept different inputs for different system tasks. The operating
system uses counter 0 as a realĆtime clock based on the 2 MHz CLK input
from the clock generator that is always operating at 8 MHz.

Real Time Clock
This clock and its oscillator circuit maintain the current time of day. The EXP
sets the real time clock and also interrupts the Executive processor (EXP)
every one second to request the EXP to read the time.

Serial Data Interface (SDI)
This is a custom IC that interfaces the EXP to both front panel knobs. The
EXP controls this IC, and this IC interrupts the EXP when a device requires
service.

Tone Generator
This circuitry utilizes a DAC and a timer. The timer is equipped with a special
current switch and capacitor to set the timer's frequency. The timer outputs
a square wave whose frequency is inversely proportional to the digital value
written to the temp/tone DAC. Thus, if a zero value is input to the DAC, the
tone generator produces the highest tone.

Temp/Tone Readback Buffer
This circuit is an eightĆline buffer connected to the I/O data bus. The EXP
uses this buffer to monitor the tone generator.

Time Base/Controller Interface
Data is transferred to and from the Time Base/Controller subsystem and to
and from the MMU IC through this interface.

Executive Processor (EXP) Interface
This circuitry consists of bidirectional buffers, address mapping programĆ
mable array logic (PAL), and interface timing control PALs. This circuitry
directs data flow to the EXP from the MMU IC and vice versa.

Display IC
This component consists of the following functional circuits:


CRT controller



Video output circuitry



Compressor circuit

The basic function of the CRT Controller is to produce VIDEO and SYNC
signals that indicate to the CRT where to position video information. The
controller is virtually automatic in operation and invisible to the firmware
programmer with the exception of several internal registers that must be
initialized at powerĆon.
The video output circuitry is where the hardware recognizes and displays
specific data structures; the rasterĆscan CRT displays the contents of the bit
map.
During the refresh of the screen, the hardware acquires bit map data along
with waveform display data to yield a final color index.
The compressor circuit receives a waveform composed of several possible
number of data points and outputs 512 pairs (one minimum and one maxiĆ
mum) to the display.

Microprocessor
This component transforms the entire Display subsystem into an intelligent
peripheral dedicated to operating the display. The firmware that controls the
Display subsystem executes from ROM in the microprocessor's address
space. The clock for this microprocessor operates at a frequency of 8 MHz.

Bit Map RAM
This circuit consists of 256 Kbytes of RAM, divided into 4Ćbit planes of
65,536 bytes each. Three of the bit planes are for text and the remaining bit
plane is for XY, variable persistence, and infinite persistence. Each bit in a
plane represents a single pixel of the display. Setting the representative pixel
bit in each of the planes controls the color or intensity.

Video DigitalĆtoĆAnalog Converter (DAC)
This circuit converts the digital data from the Display IC into analog data for

A17 Executive
Processor Board

The A17 Executive Processor board consists of the:


Executive processor (EXP)



Numeric coprocessor circuitry



Bus buffer circuitry



Preset circuitry



Wait state circuitry



Interrupt controllers



DMA Controller

See Figure 9Ć10 for a block diagram of this board.

Executive Processor (EXP)
This microprocessor executes firmware routines stored in EPROMS that are
located on the A18 Memory board to control the operation of the CSA 803C.
Along with the numeric coprocessor, the EXP does all data processing not
directly related to generating the display or digitizing the waveform. When
power is first applied to the CSA 803C, the EXP executes local and system
diagnostic tests, which are located in the EPROMs on the A18 Memory
board.
The EXP performs the following functions with three main circuits:


the clock generator generates the timing signals and synchronized reset
signals for the microprocessor



the microprocessor reads and writes data, generates addresses for I/O
and memory devices, and generates status signals for the bus controller



the bus controller interprets the microprocessor's status signals and
generates the necessary bus control signals for the Executive bus

Address decoders, address latches, and data buffers are all support circuits
for I/O operations.

3Ć22

Theory of Operation

   

! 
This coprocessor is a highĆspeed, floatingĆpoint processor that executes
instructions in parallel with the EXP. The EXP programs and controls the
numeric coprocessor as an I/O device at addresses 0F8 to 0FF .

!  
This circuit consists of a data buffer, an address buffer, and a control buffer
that provide command and control signals from the microprocessor to the
three Executive busses. The Executive busses consist of the following:


 #    !Ċ is a bidirectional bus. It allows the microproĆ
cessor to fetch instructions from memory, and also to write data to
memory and read data from memory. The memory that the microprocesĆ
sor uses is located on the A18 Memory board.



 #   !Ċ carries the address of a device when the
microprocessor is requesting access to that device. Once the microproĆ
cessor has access, the addressed device can then respond to the
microprocessor.



 #    !Ċ carries control signals sent by the microproĆ
cessor. These control signals are sent to the devices that the microproĆ
cessor addresses, so that the devices can respond at the proper
moment in the bus cycle.


This circuit generates synchronized ready and reset control signals.

 
  
This circuit extends the bus cycle with wait states so that slower devices
have sufficient time to read or write data.

	 !  
These circuits constantly monitor the EXP's interrupt lines to ensure that the
highest priority interrupt gets serviced first. The Interrupt controllers provide
the ability to assign priority levels to all the system's interrupt lines and,
conversely, to ignore (mask) any of the interrupt lines as well.


  
This circuit shortens the GPIB transfer time as well as the transmission time
of waveforms through the GPIB.

The Acquisition system consists of two boards: the A27 Acquisition Analog
board and the A28 Acquisition MPU board.
The A27 Acquisition Analog board consists of the following major blocks:


Programmable gain amplifiers



A/D converters



Measurement hardware



Timing and sampling head control

The A28 Acquisition Analog board consists of the following major blocks:


Shared RAM



Time base/controller interface



Microprocessor



Measurement hardware



Timing and sampling head control

See Figures 9Ć14 and 9Ć15 for the block diagrams of these boards.

""   "#
The four sampling head outputs are multiplexed to two amplifier channels
through the input multiplexer. The microprocessor selects a sampling head
channel to be acquired and connects it to one of the amplifier channels. The
programmable gain amplifier then applies offset (Vert Pos) and amplifies or
attenuates the signal (Vert Size). The output of the amplifier is applied to the
analog to digital (A/D) converter for conversion to digitized data.


 	&"$"#
The output of each programmable gain amplifier is applied to an 8Ćbit flash
A/D converter. The converter compares its analog input to two reference
voltages (+1 V REF and -1 V REF) and outputs an 8Ćbit binary number that
indicates the value of the analog input signal in relation to the reference
voltages. The digital output from the A/D converters is stored in the shared
RAM and made available for transfer to the Waveform Memory through the
Time Base/Controller.


#%"$ "'"
This circuitry has the selected sampling head output from the input multiĆ
plexer applied to a precisionĆstrobed voltage comparator. This voltage
comparator compares the sampling head output voltage to a reference
voltage generated by a 14Ćbit digitalĆtoĆanalog converter (DAC). The
comparator output is then filtered by a filter and transition counter circuit on
the A28 Acquisition MPU board to remove false transitions generated by
noise and to count the transitions.

A microprocessor controls the Acquisition system, which has 64 Kbytes of
EPROM for code storage, 16 Kbytes of shared RAM, and 8 Kbytes of unĆ
shared RAM. The microprocessor calibrates and manages the programĆ
mable gain amplifiers and measurement hardware. The microprocessor also
accepts and executes commands from the Time Base/Controller processor
and manages the sampling head digital and analog controls, including
scanning the front panel SELECT buttons on the sampling head and driving
the front panel LEDs.

Performance Verification
This section contains procedures to check electrical specifications and
examine measurement limits listed in Table 4Ć1. Use these procedures to
check the CSA 803C following repair, or to verify that the CSA 803C meets
specifications. To functionally test the CSA 803C, simply perform the proceĆ
dures which have a yes" indication in the Functional Tests column listed in
Table 4Ć1. The Specifications or Measurement Limits are given at the beginĆ
ning of each procedure. Adjustment procedures are included in the 

 section. Refer to the   
 
 

 	



 for more information about specifications and CSA 803C operation.
The Setup in each procedure provides information concerning test equipĆ
ment setup or interconnection. Refer to Table 4Ć2 for more information
concerning test equipment used in the setups.
Most Performance Verification and Adjustment procedures can be run in any
order. However, the Sampling Head Calibration must always precede other
procedures which use an operational sampling head (i.e., does not apply to
procedures using the Calibration Head). Also, if different sampling heads are
used, then sampling head calibration is required for each additional samĆ
pling head.

PowerĆOn
Diagnostics

This procedure should be performed within the ambient temperature range
of +18 C to +28 C (64 F to 82 F) when a performance check at peak
operating conditions is required.

Setup to Invoke PowerĆOn Diagnostics
CSA 803C
Sampling
Head

(not
installed
yet)

Procedure to Invoke PowerĆOn Diagnostics
CAUTION

Applying a voltage outside the range printed on the sampling head
can result in damage. Static electricity is also a hazard.
The input diodes used in the sampling heads are very susceptible to damĆ
age from overdrive signal or DC voltages and from electrostatic discharge.
Never apply a voltage outside the range printed on the front of the sampling
head. Operate the CSA 803C only in a staticĆcontrolled environment.
Connect the wrist strap provided with the CSA 803C to the ANTISTATIC
CONNECTION, as shown in Figure 2Ć1. Refer to the CSA 803C CommunicaĆ
tions Signal Analyzer User Manual for more information.
ăStep 1:ăCheck that the sampling head is not yet installed and that the
ON/STANDBY switch is in the STANDBY position.
ăStep 2:ăRemove the top and bottom covers from the CSA 803C (unless
you are only performing a functional test).
ăStep 3:ăInstall an SD Series sampling head in the left sampling head
compartment marked CH 1/CH 2.
ăStep 4:ăWith the CSA 803C's rear panel PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH
set to OFF, connect the CSA 803C to a suitable power source.

4Ć14

Performance Verification

Performance Tests

ăStep 5:ăSet the rear panel PRINCIPAL POWER SWITCH to ON and then
set the CSA 803C's front panel ON/STANDBY switch to ON.
When the CSA 803C is first installed, the rear panel PRINCIPAL POWER
SWITCH should be set to and left in the ON position. From then on, use
the front panel ON/STANDBY switch to perform all subsequent power
switching.
ăStep 6:ăMonitor the following diagnostic run functions, and note the
range of possible results.

Diagnostics
Each time the front panel ON/STANDBY switch is set to ON, the CSA 803C
performs Kernel diagnostics on its microprocessor subsystems, followed by
SelfĆTest diagnostics on most of its major circuits. Failures from either of
these two sets of diagnostics may cause the CSA 803C to enter the ExĆ
tended Diagnostics menu as described in this procedure.
When Kernel diagnostics begin, the Diagnostics in Progress and Comm
Test in Progress messages are displayed on the screen. If the CSA 803C is
being poweredĆon from a cold condition, then the diagnostics may be
completed before the CRT is warmed up and able to display these mesĆ
sages. Diagnostic routines are then performed in parallel on each of the
CSA 803C's microprocessor subsystems (Display, Executive, Time Base,
and Mainframe Acquisition). Following successful execution of their Kernel
diagnostics, Acquisition microprocessors attempt to communicate with the
Time Base microprocessor and the Time Base and Display microprocessors
attempt to communicate with the Executive microprocessor.
Successful completion of Kernel diagnostics is indicated by the start of
SelfĆTest diagnostics. A failure of Kernel diagnostics will be indicated by the
message, Dsy Kernel Failure, or Comm Test in Progress displaying on the
screen (for Display kernel failures) and/or by a single highĆlow beep and
illuminated menu button indicators (for Executive kernel failures).

SelfĆTest Diagnostics
These begin by displaying SelfĆTest in Progress (when the Display microĆ
processor has successfully communicated with the Executive microprocesĆ
sor). Pattern changes on the display and the flashing of the display indicate
a test in progress. The SelfĆTest diagnostics are successfully completed
when the CSA 803C returns to normal operation. Any failures cause the CSA
803C to produce a double highĆlow beep, and then to display the Extended
Diagnostics menu on the screen. Faulty field replaceable units (FRUs) may
then be identified by touching the (?)Help label. If any errors occur, record
the error codes for the failed circuit block(s), and then refer the CSA 803C to
a qualified service person.

This procedure shows the setup and lists the test steps for calibrating Loop
Gain and Offset Null. Note that this is an optional enhanced accuracy proceĆ
dure and it fine tunes internal channel processing circuitry in conjunction
with any operational sampling head type being used (the 067-1413-00
calibration head is a service device and does not require system calibration).
This procedure also initiates a builtĆin CSA 803A program which causes the
mainframe to remember which sampling head type was used in the calibraĆ
tion. In this way, preĆcalibrated heads can be interchanged without requiring
recalibration.

Performance Verification


This section contains procedures to check electrical specifications, to exĆ
amine measurement limits, and to manually set all internal adjustments
listed in Table 5Ć1. Use these procedures to return the CSA 803C to speciĆ
fied operation following repair or as part of a comprehensive performance
test procedure to verify that the CSA 803C meets specifications. To adjust
the CSA 803C, simply perform the procedures listed in this section. The
Measurement Limits are given at the beginning of each procedure. FunctionĆ
al tests are included in the 
 
 section. Refer to the
	  
 	  
  for more informaĆ
tion about specifications and CSA 803C operation. The Setup in each proceĆ
dure provides information concerning test equipment setup or
interconnection. Refer to Table 5Ć2 for more information concerning test
equipment used in the setups.
Most Adjustment and Performance Verification procedures can be run in any
order. However, the Sampling Head Calibration must always precede other
procedures which use an operational sampling head. Also, if different samĆ
pling heads are used, then sampling head calibration is required for each
additional sampling head.

Observe the following precautions to avoid damage:

  
 		



Minimize handling of staticĆsensitive components.



Transport and store staticĆsensitive components or assemblies in their
original containers, antiĆstatic tube rail, or conductive foam. Label any
package that contains staticĆsensitive assemblies or components.



Discharge the static voltage from your body by wearing a wrist strap
while handling these components. Servicing staticĆsensitive assemblies
or components should be performed only at a staticĆfree work station by
qualified service personnel. We recommend using the static control mat,
Refer to Table 4Ć2 for the part numbers of these test equipment.



Keep the work station surface free of anything that can generate or hold
a static charge.



Keep the component leads shorted together whenever possible by
storing them in conductive foam or rails.



Pick up components by the body, never by the leads.



Do not slide the components over any surface.



Avoid handling components in areas that have a floor or workĆsurface
covering that can generate a static charge.

Fan Motor Removal/
Replacement

See Figure 6Ć2 for connector and screw locations.
Remove and replace the fan motor as follows:
ăStep 1:ăUsing a pencil or tape, mark the top of the fan motor housing
for later use in determining the positioning of the motor. Remove the four
screws securing the housing to the rear of the instrument mainframe.
Hold the housing as you remove the last screws.
ăStep 2:ăSeparate the grill and the housing from the motor.
ăStep 3:ăRemove the two wires at their motor connections. Note that the
red wire is (+) and the brown wire is (-).
ăStep 4:ăRemove the fan motor.

NOTE
Observe the position in which the motor was mounted. Ensure that
the motor is remounted in its original positioning, or the fan wires
may not reach.
To replace the fan motor, perform the previous steps in reverse order and
note the following additional points while replacing the motor:


use the mark from Step 1 to determine the original positioning of the
motor



tighten the screws securely



remove the mark from the top of the housing

Cathode Ray Tube
(CRT) Removal/
Replacement

WARNING
The cathode ray tube (CRT) may retain a dangerous electrical
(16 kV) charge. To prevent electric shock, fully discharge the anode
before removing the CRT. Short the anode lead from the CRT to the
chassis. Wait approximately ten minutes and again firmly short the
anode lead to the chassis. Then, remove the CRT.
If the CRT breaks, the glass fragments scatter at a high velocity
(implosion). Use extreme care when handling the CRT. Protective
clothing and safety glasses should be worn. Avoid striking the CRT
on any object which might cause it to crack or implode. When
storing a CRT, place it in a protective carton or set the CRT face
down in a protected location with a smooth surface and with the
CRT faceplate on a soft mat.
See Figures 6Ć1, 6Ć4, 6Ć5, 6Ć6, 6Ć7, 6Ć13, and 6Ć32 for module, connector,
screw, and index locations.
Remove the CRT as follows:
ăStep 1:ăRemove the three Torx head screws that secure the CRT cover,
and then the CRT cover.
ăStep 2:ăSet the instrument in the inverted position.
ăStep 3:ăUse a 1/16Ćinch Allen wrench to loosen the two small screws
that secure the two control knobs. Carefully remove the control knobs
so that you do not lose the small Allen screws inside the knobs.

CAUTION

When replacing the two control knobs, do not overtighten the two
Allen screws.
ăStep 4:ăRemove the two Torx head screws on the bottom of the A9
Touch Panel Assembly.
ăStep 5:ăLift up on the bottom of the A9 Touch Panel Assembly and
swing the assembly outward. The top of the A9 Touch Panel Assembly is
held in place with two tabs that hook under the top of the chassis. Pull
the assembly out until you can access the black ground wire that conĆ
nects the A9 Touch Panel Assembly to the instrument chassis.
ăStep 6:ăRemove the quickĆdisconnect ground connector that connects
the black ground wire to the instrument chassis.

6Ć20

Maintenance

 


 
Set the A9 Touch Panel Assembly aside. To avoid stressing the
ribbon cable that is still connected to the A9 Touch Panel Assembly, and
to keep the assembly from cluttering your work space, place the A9
Touch Panel Assembly on top of the sampling head compartments. Do
not damage the A9 Touch Panel Assembly when placing it on top of the
sampling head plugĆin compartments.
 
Carefully set the instrument on its left side.
 	
Remove the two plastic circuit board guides from the top of the
card cage.
 
Remove the two Torx head screws that secure the A7 CRT
Socket board cover. Use a short Torx head screwdriver to remove the
rearĆmost Torx head screw.
 
Remove the A7 CRT Socket board cover.
 
Slowly pull the A7 CRT Socket board toward the rear of the
instrument to remove the A7 CRT Socket board from the CRT.

NOTE
When reattaching the A7 CRT Socket board to the CRT, align the
pins of the CRT to the receptacles on the A7 CRT Socket board.
Then, slowly push the pins into the receptacles.
Do not force the connector into place; doing so can bend or break
some of the pins. If the pins do not slide easily into the receptacles,
then pull the A7 CRT Socket board away from the CRT, and realign
the A7 CRT Socket board to the CRT.

WARNING
The CRT anode voltage is 16 kV. To avoid electric shock, ground
the anode lead from the CRT to the chassis to remove any stored
charge remaining in the CRT. Wait approximately ten minutes. Then,
ground the anode load to the chassis again.
 
Remove connector J54 from the A8 CRT Driver board. Note
the position of the multiĆpin connector's index triangle to ensure that you
can correctly replace the connector.
 
Remove the four Torx head screws that secure the CRT to the
top of the instrument chassis. Two of the screws are removed from the
front of the front panel chassis, and two of the screws are removed from
behind the front panel casting.

Cabling diagrams are provided (in the  section) to show the interĆ
connecting cables between the various circuit boards, modules, and assemĆ
blies. Use these diagrams as a reference when you are removing and/or
replacing cables between these units.

 

Two methods of interconnection are used to electrically connect circuit
boards with other boards and components. When the interconnection is
made with a coaxial cable, a special endĆlead connector plugs into a socket
on the board. Other interconnections are made with a pin soldered into the
board.
Two types of connectors are used for these interconnecting pins. If the
connector is mounted on a plugĆon board, a special socket is soldered into
the board. If the connector is on the end of a lead, an endĆlead pin connecĆ
tor that mates with the interconnecting pin is used. The following information
provides the removal and replacement procedure for the various types of
interconnecting methods.

 
  	 
Peltola and SMB connectors use color coding of wires, which may be helpful
to correlate a Peltola connector to its socket on a circuit board. The wire
insulation's color, or its colored stripe, is the same as the color represented
by the last digit of the JXX component number. (For example, a green wire
would connect to a J05 socket.) Other Peltola connectors may have labels
which designate their JXX component number.


  
These connectors are arranged so that the pin connectors used to connect
the wires to the interconnecting pins are clamped to the ends of the
associated leads.
Some of the pin connectors are grouped together and mounted in a plastic
holder. The overall result is that these connectors are installed and removed
as a multiĆpin connector.
Pin 1 on multiĆpin connectors is designated with a triangle (or arrowhead). A
triangle, dot, or square printed on circuit boards denotes pin 1. When a
connector is plugged onto a circuit board, the position or orientation of the

 #  	(

NOTE
Match the index triangles on the multiĆpin connectors with the
corresponding square pads on the circuit board.
Some multiĆpin connectors are keyed by a gap between the pin 1
and 3 positions in the holder. (A small plastic plug covers the pin 2
position on the end of the holder.) There is a corresponding gap
between pins 1 and 3 on the circuit board.
Align the plug in the multiĆpin holder with the gap between the
circuit board pins. The connector is then ready to be installed.

This section provides the information necessary to troubleshoot a faulty
CSA 803A to the field replaceable unit (FRU) level. In most cases a FRU is a
circuit board. The primary means for troubleshooting is to use the error
index code output from the Kernel diagnostics and crossĆreference it to the
suspect circuit boards in the following tables, or to use the builtĆin FRU help
function available in Extended Diagnostics. In addition, conventional troubleĆ
shooting techniques are described at the end of this section to help identify
a faulty A4 Regulator board, CRT, Power Supply module, A13 Mother board,
or A8 CRT Driver board.

 	

Each subsystem processor (Executive, Display, Time Base, and Acquisition)
executes a set of Kernel diagnostics prior to the SelfĆTest diagnostics. After
the Acquisition processor has verified its support circuitry, it tries to establish
communication with the Time Base processor. After the Time Base procesĆ
sor has verified its critical support circuitry, and after it has attempted to
communicate with the Acquisition processor, the Time Base processor
attempts to communicate with the Executive processor. Likewise, the DisĆ
play processor attempts to communicate with the Executive processor after
successfully executing its Kernel diagnostics.
After a processor has successfully completed its Kernel diagnostics and
established communications with the next order processor (for example,
AcquisitionĆtoĆTime Base and Time BaseĆtoĆExecutive), then SelfĆTest diagĆ
nostics execute to verify the more global functionality of the processor's
hardware system. After all the SelfĆTest diagnostics are executed, any failĆ
ures cause the CSA 803C to enter Extended Diagnostics and to display the
error index codes in a diagnostic menu. Extended diagnostics contains tests
which are a superset of the SelfĆTest.
The Kernel diagnostics (lowĆlevel SelfĆTest diagnostics) and SelfĆTest/ExĆ
tended Diagnostics produce and format error index codes differently, so
they are covered separately. Kernel diagnostics error index codes for each
subsystem are produced and read quite differently from each other.
Note that some of these tests that may indicate faulty FRU(s) are not
executed automatically during the SelfĆTest diagnostics (that is, some errors
codes are only generated by manually selecting tests or Extended DiagnosĆ
tics).


  
 

6Ć79

	
 


 	


Kernel diagnostics are executed each time the front panel ON/STANDBY
switch is set to ON. The CSA 803C performs powerĆon diagnostics on its
microprocessor subsystems and SelfĆTest diagnostics on all of its major
circuits.
When Kernel diagnostics begin, the messages 	
  

and    
 are displayed. If the CSA 803C is poweredĆon
from a cold condition, then the diagnostics may complete before the CRT is
warmed up and able to display these messages.
Diagnostic routines are performed in parallel on each of the instrument's
processor subsystems: Display, Executive, Time Base, and Acquisition.
Following successful execution of their Kernel diagnostics, the Acquisition
processor attempts to communicate with the Time Base processor and the
Time Base and Display processors attempt to communicate with the ExecuĆ
tive processor.
The Executive processor will continue SelfĆTest diagnostics even if it is the
only processor that has successfully completed its Kernel diagnostics.
In the case where the Display processor has not communicated successfully
with the Executive processor, the message indicating that SelfĆTest diagnosĆ
tics are beginning will not appear on the screen. Kernel diagnostic failures
may be indicated by the message,   	, or   

 on the screen and/or a single highĆlow beep and illuminated
menu buttons.
If either the Display, Time Base, or Acquisition processors do not successfulĆ
ly pass their communications stage, then the CSA 803C automatically enters
Extended Diagnostics at the end of the SelfĆTest diagnostics. If the Display
processor is at fault, then the Extended Diagnostic menu will not appear on
the screen.
The Kernel diagnostic tests execute concurrently in all three subsystem
processor circuits at powerĆon. Hardware critical to diagnostic operation is
verified, such as ROM, RAM, DMAs, timers, and interrupt control circuitry.
For the Executive Processor, this requires checking basic operation for most
boards in the card cage (that is, those boards plugged in to the A13 Mother
board). The last step of Kernel diagnostics for the Display, Time Base, and
Acquisition processors is to verify communication. Within each processor, all
Kernel diagnostics must execute without failures before the SelfĆTest diagĆ
nostics can execute. However, the Executive processor continues with its
SelfĆTest diagnostics despite a communication failure encountered with the
Display and/or Time Base processors; additionally, the Time Base processor
does not halt when it has a communication failure with the Acquisition
processor.
Since the condition of the instrument is unknown at powerĆon, when a kernel
failure occurs, Kernel diagnostics in the Executive, Time Base, and AcquisiĆ
tion processors do not attempt to display error index codes. Instead, these
processors generate hexidecimal (hex) numbers that are read as a series of
binary bits, such as XXX1 0101 (hex error code 15 ) for the Executive
processor, 0100 (hex error code 4 ) for the Time Base processor, or

Diagnostic Menus

The upper portion of the display screen is used to display diagnostic menus.
Menus are comprised of menu items and menu fields. Menu items are rows
of items that can be selected, while menu fields are columns of status inĆ
formation.
There are four tiers of menus which may appear in the menu area (only one
is present at any given time): the Subsystem, Block, Area and Routine
menus. Upon entry into any menu, there is always one menu item that is
selected. And, only one menu item can be selected at any given time.
The following field descriptions apply for Subsystem, Block, Area and RouĆ
tine menus.
Subsystem, Block and Area menus are divided into the following four fields:
Execution Mark, Title, Error Index Code, and Failure Count. The Routine
menu has these and three additional test result fields.


Execution Mark Ċ is a one character field preceding the Title field and
succeeding the keystroke selector identification. The three values of this
field and their meanings are as follows:
`'

All routines in this Subsystem, Block, or Area are available for
execution

`*'

No routines in the Subsystem, Block, or Area are available for
execution

`-'

One or more routines in the Subsystem, Block, or Area are
available for execution

Refer to the Delete and Add descriptions for further information.

6Ć84



Title field Ċ contains the name of individual hardware Subsystems,
Blocks, Areas, or Routines.



Error Index Code field Ċ contains an index code. The index field may
contain one of five types of status (indicating one of four types of tests),
providing the following information:
pass"

An automatic test has executed and did not fail.

Yxxxx"

A test has failed and the failure encountered in subsysĆ
tem Y is xxxx. This index code contains one digit each
for Subsystem identification, Block identification, Area
identification, Routine identification, and a Test identifiĆ
cation that gives some specific information about the
failure.

****"

An automatic test has not yet been executed. When the
test does execute, the test will provide pass or Yxxxx
failure status.

- - - -"

The test requires you to perform some type of test setĆ
up using the RSĆ232ĆC loopback connector. When
executed, this status provides pass or Yxxxx failure
status. To execute this test, you must select it.

Maintenance

Diagnostic Troubleshooting



 " (blank)

This status indicates that the test requires action from
the user (such as the front panel verification tests), or
that the test is for stimulus only (such as the manual
calibration tests). This status does not provide failure
status. To execute this test, select it individually.

????"

This status indicates that an option was found that was
not present in the current instrument configuration or
that a subsystem was found that did not have a workĆ
ing communication path.

Failure Count field Ċ indicates the total number of routine failures (one
per routine) currently encountered in the Subsystem, Block, or Area.
Thus, the Failure Count will never be more than the total number of
routines in the subsystem. If no tests have been executed or no failures
have occurred, then this field is blank. Since the failure count field is an
indication of all routines that have failures, it is possible to have a failure
field count greater than the loop count (for example, there may be five
routine failures after the first loop).
A field display of 65535+ indicates that the Failure Count field has gone
beyond 65534 and that an overflow condition has occurred.

The following field descriptions apply only to Routine menus.


Test Results fields Ċ contain information useful for troubleshooting.
One of the following formats is used:



test address, expected data, and actual data



expected data lower bound (minimum), expected data upper bound
(maximum) and actual data

Diagnostic Menu Hardcopy
Press the hardcopy button on the front panel to make hardcopy of a diagĆ
nostic menu. The hardcopy is sent to a printer attached to the PRINTER
port. Screen hardcopies can also be obtained from other menus (for examĆ
ple, help menus, interactive test menus, and hardware debugger menus).
After a hardcopy is output, a Form Feed is issued to the printer. If no printer
is attached or the printer can not print (for example, if the printer is off line or
if the printer is out of paper,) then the following warning is shown in the
Input/Prompt area:
Hardcopy absent or off line.
The hardcopy function is unavailable for some tests requiring human interĆ
action, such as touch panel interactive tests, various display tests, and
CRT/touch panel calibration patterns.
The knobs control the screen intensity during the four main diagnostics
menu levels. The TOUCH PANEL ON/OFF button enables/disables the touch
panel from responding to user touches.

The RSĆ232ĆC port drives a terminal which conforms to the ANSI 3.64 stanĆ
dard. In this mode, the terminal provides a screenĆdriven, interactive human
interface.
This mode is useful when either the display or touch panel is not functioning
properly, or when it is desired to remotely use the diagnostics with a modem
and phone link.
There are several single terminal keystroke commands which are equivalent
to front panel buttons or are terminalĆonly commands, all of which do not
appear on any of the display screens. The following terminal keystrokes do
appear on the screen and are shown in quotes:


	% "$"Ċ this keystroke, followed by the baud rate and
carriage return) allows you to change the default baud rate to any one of
the allowable product baud rates (300, 1200, 9600, 19200). The default
powerĆup baud rate is determined from the position of two internal
jumpers located on the A14 I/O board. (The Default setting is for 9600
baud.)



Ċ this keystroke toggles the screen output between the current
screen display and an ANSI compatible terminal. The terminal should
initially be set in its ANSI mode.




Ċ this keystroke toggles the screen output between the current
screen display and a Tektronix 4x05 terminal (4105, 4205).



Ċ this keystroke toggles the screen output between the current
screen display and a Tektronix 4x07 terminal (4107, 4207).



Ċ this keystroke produces a hardcopy of the current diagnostic
menu as described earlier.



Ċ this keystroke disables/enables the touch panel from responding
to the user's touches. It is equivalent to the TOUCH PANEL ON/OFF
button.



Ċ this keystroke, when used in interactive test menus, stops and
starts the display information in the keypad prompt area. This keystroke
is equivalent to the ACQUISITION RUN/STOP button in those menus.

To gain access to the terminal mode diagnostics, the instrument must be in
the Extended Diagnostic mode.
To exit the terminal mode, either recycle the power, enter the (Exit) keystroke
twice to begin normal operation, or enter the appropriate `L', `T', or `K'
keystroke to transfer the screen output back to the instrument display.

Battery Testing

The CSA 803C holds four lithium batteries to provide power when the instruĆ
ment is turned off. The following discussions provide criteria for determining
if a battery has exceeded its lifetime, and is thus causing incorrect instruĆ
ment operation. (A battery's lifetime will typically exceed five years.) If the
battery voltage measures (at 20 C) equal to or greater than the voltages
listed in this section, then the circuit should operate correctly from 0 C to
50 C. (These voltage measurements are taken with the instrument power
off.)
Battery BT130 provides power for the real time clock on the A14 I/O board. If
the clock begins to lose time rapidly when the instrument is turned off or the
diagnostics report that the Real Time Clk (E42XX) has failed, the battery
should be tested. If the battery voltage measures less than 2.7 V, then the
most likely source of the problem is the battery and you should follow the
instructions for battery disposal earlier in this section.
Battery BT150 provides power for the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) on the
A18 Memory board. If the diagnostics consistently reports an NVRAM
Battery (E141X) failure over multiple powerĆons, then the battery should be
tested. If the battery voltage measures less than 2.7 V, then the most likely
source of the problem is the battery and you should follow the instructions
for battery disposal earlier in this section.
Sockets for devices U500 and U511 provide power for the NVRAM on the
A5 Time Base/Controller board. If the diagnostics consistently report a Static
RAM Battery (T1331) failure over multiple powerĆons, then the batteries
should be tested. If either one of the battery voltages measures less than
2.1 V, as measured on pin 28 (Vcc), follow the instructions for battery disĆ
posal earlier in this section. (It is recommended that both batteries be reĆ
placed at the same time.)

NOTE
Turning the instrument off while Extended Diagnostics is executing
one of the NVRAM memory tests may cause failure of the NVRAM
battery test. If the diagnostics report an NVRAM battery failure, then
exit the diagnostics. This will rewrite the confidence words into the
NVRAM. Turn off the instrument for at least one hour. Then, turn the
instrument back on. If the diagnostics still indicate an NVRAM
battery failure, then the battery should be tested.

The status LEDs (DS306 and DS307) on the A17 Executive Processor board
will flash while the Kernel diagnostic tests are executing. If a kernel failure is
detected, then one or both LEDs will remain on. Table 6Ć11 lists the various

Fuse Testing

The A14 I/O board has four fuses (see Figure 6Ć37). F200 supplies +5 V to
the A12 Rear Panel board. F800 supplies +5 V to the A10 Front Panel ConĆ
trol board and the A9 Touch Panel board. F600 supplies +15 V to the
A14 I/O board, card cage, A10 Front Panel Control board, A9 Touch Panel
board, A11 Front Panel Button board, and A12 Rear Panel board (reduced
to +12 V). F602 supplies -15 V to the A14 I/O board, card cage, A10 Front
Panel Control board (reduced to -5 V), and A12 Rear Panel board (reduced
to -12 V).


F200 supplies +5 V to the A12 Rear Panel board. If diagnostics report
failure of all three ports (RSĆ232ĆC, GPIB, and PRINTER), then this fuse
is the probable suspect (assuming that the ribbon cable to the A12 Rear
Panel board is connected). When tested with a multimeter, this fuse
should measure less than 1.5 V.



F800 supplies +5 V to the A10 Front Panel Control board and the
A11 Front Panel board. If the diagnostics report both an A9 Touch Panel
board failure and knob failures, then this fuse is one possible source of
this problem. When tested with a multimeter, this fuse should measure
less than 1 W.



F600 supplies +15 V to the A14 I/O board temperature sensor and tone
generator, the lights of the A11 Front Panel Button board, the A9 Touch
Panel board, the A12 Rear Panel board's RSĆ232ĆC output line drivers,
the card cage, and the A17 Executive Processor board's NVRAM. If the
NVRAM battery test and the RSĆ232ĆC External Loop Back test fail (but
the Internal Loop Back test passes), and the A11 Front Panel Button
board's lights, temperature sensor, and tone generator are all off, then
this fuse is the probable suspect. When tested with an multimeter, this
fuse should measure less than 1 W.



F602 supplies -15 V to the A14 I/O board temperature sensor and tone
generator, A12 Rear Panel board's RSĆ232ĆC output line drivers, the
A9 Touch Panel board, and the card cage. If the temperature sensor,
tone generator, and RSĆ232ĆC External Loop Back test fail (but the
Internal Loop Back test passes), then this fuse is the probable suspect.
When tested with an multimeter, this fuse should measure less than 1 W.

The A14 I/O board uses the +15 V and -15 V supplies on board to operate
the temperature sensor and the tone generator. Of the other card cage
boards, the A18 Memory board uses the +15 V supply to operate the
NVRAM circuitry. The information above and Table 6Ć17 will help you to
identify a failure of one of these fuses. If a test fails, then check the fuses.

See Figures 6Ć2 and 6Ć37 for the location of the line fuse and the A14 I/O
board fuses, respectively.
When a fuse must be replaced, unsolder the fuse from the board. Be careful
not to damage the solder pads on the board. (It may be helpful to straighten
the fuse leads on the rear of the board before removing the leads from their
holes in the circuit board.) Refer to the Parts List section for the correct value
and part number of each fuse.

Acquisition
Calibration Errors

When acquisition calibration errors occur, a message will appear on the
CSA 803A screen followed by a number that indicates in which Acquisition
system the error was detected. Following this number, there will be a string
of eight, fourĆdigit error codes that are used to identify possible faulty FRUs.
The following example shows the form that the error message will appear:
Error detected in acquisition system AA: BBBB, CCCC, DDDD,
EEEE, FFFF, GGGG, HHHH, IIII
where the A digits represent the number of the Acquisition system, and the
B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I digits represent the fourĆdigit error codes.
The B and I digits can be ignored. If any of the C or D digits are nonĆzero,
then the possible faulty FRUs, from most to least likely, are:
ACQMPU
MFACQCON
ACQANALOG
TBC
If any of the E, F, G, or H digits are nonĆzero, then the possible fault FRUs,
from most to least likely, are:
