INSTALLATION
Cooling
The 1340 is cooled by convection. For proper circula-
tion
of air, the instrument should normally be operated
with
the top and bottom covers in place. If overheating
occurs, check for adequate circulation and ventilation.
Operating Voltage
The 1340 can be operated from either a 115-volt or
230-volt nominal line voltage source. The Line Voltage
Selector assembly, located on
the rear panel (Fig. 2-1),
converts
the instrument from one operating range to the
other (115 volts or 230 volts). The assembly also allows
selection of any one of three regulating ranges and contains
the
two line fuses. When the instrument is converted from
one nominal line voltage source
to the other, the assembly
connects
or disconnects one of the fuses to provide the
proper protection for the power transformer.
Use
the following procedure to change line voltages or
regulating ranges:
1. Disconnect the instrument from the power source.
2. Loosen
the two captive screws which hold the cover
to the assembly, and remove the cover.
3. To convert
to a different line voltage, pull out the
Voltage Selector switch bar, reverse it and plug it into the
opposite set of holes. The Voltage Selector switch bar will
be
in the upper positiqn for 115-volt operation, and in the
lower position for 230-volt operation.
4.
To change regulating ranges, pull out the Range
Selector switch bar, slide it
to the desired range and plug it
back in. Select a range which
is centered about the average
line voltage
to be applied.
Fig. 2-1. LINE VOLTAGE SELECTOR
5. Re-install the cover with the two captive screws. Be
sure the cover fits firmly against the rear panel. This ensures
that the line fuses are installed correctly.
6. Before applying power
to the instrument, check that
the indicating tabs on the switch protrude through the
proper holes in the cover for the correct line voltage and
regulating ranges.
Operation of the instrument with either the Voltage
Selector or Range Selector switch in the wrong
position will cause incorrect operation
and may
damage the instrument.

MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT
Introduction
This section of the manual contains maintenance infor-
mation for use
in preventive maintenance, corrective
maintenance,
or troubleshooting of the instrument. It also
contains instructions for checking and adjusting
the 1340
power supplies.
PREVENTIVE MAINTENANCE
General
Preventive maintenance consists of cleaning, visual in-
spection, lubrication, etc. Regular preventive maintenance
may prevent instrument breakdown and improves instru-
ment reliability. Perform preventive maintenance
as often
as necessary.
The instrument covers
protect against dust in the
interior. Leave panels in place except when working on the
instrument.
Avoid the use of chemical cleaning agents which
might
damage the plastics used in this instrument.
Avoid chemicals which contain benzene, toluene,
zylene, acetone or similar solvents.
Exterior. Remove loose dust on the outside of the
instrument with a soft cloth or small paint brush. Use the
paint brush to dislodge dirt on and around the front panel.
Remove
the remaining dirt with a soft cloth dampened in a
mild detergent and water solution.
Do not use abrasive
cleaners.
Interior. Keep the interior of the instrument free of
dust, since a heavy dust layer combined with high-humidity
conditions can cause failure. Clean
the interior by blowing
off
the accumulated dust with dry, low-pressure air.
Remove any remaining
dirt with a soft paint brush or a
cloth dampened with a mild detergent and
water solution.
Use a cotton-tipped applicator to clean circuit boards.
Lubrication
Proper lubrication increases the reliability of switches
and
other moving parts. Do not use too much lubrication.
A lubrication kit containing the necessary lubricants and
instructions
is available from Tektronix, Inc. Order
TEKTRONIX Part
No. 003-0342-01.
Visual Inspection
Occasionally inspect the instrument for defects, such as
broken connections, damaged
or improperly installed
circuit boards, and heat-damaged parts.
If you can see the trouble,
the repair procedure is
usually obvious. If heat-damaged components are found, be
sure
to locate and correct the cause of heat damage before
replacing
the component.
Semiconductor Checks
Periodic checks or replacement of semiconductors is not
recommended. The best check of a semiconductor is its
performance during instrument operation. See the dis-
cussion
on troubleshooting for more details.
Recalibration
Check the calibration of this instrument after 500 hours
of operation or every six months, whichever occurs first. If
a
component is replaced you may have to recalibrate the
affected circuit.
TROUBLESHOOTING
Introduction
While troubleshooting the instrument, consult other
sections of this manual in addition to the following
information.
Diagrams. The circuit numbers, electrical parts list,
electrical values and connections
of all components are
shown on
the diagrams. Important voltages are also shown.
Parts List. Replacement parts are available through your
local TEKTRONIX Field Office or representative. However,
many electrical parts are available locally. Before pur-
chasing
or ordering replacement parts, tonsult the Parts List
for value, tolerance, and rating.
Circuit Board Replacement. If a circuit board is damaged
beyond repair, either
the wired assembly or the unwired
board can be replaced. Part numbers are given
in the
Mechanical Parts List for either the completely wired or the
unwired board. For Interface Board replacement, refer to
the discussion on Interface Board repair.
3-1

Maintenance-1340 SN B040000-up
Resistor Color Code. In addition to the composition
resistors, some metal-film resistors-are used
in this instru-
ment. Nearly all resistors are color-coded for resistance
value and tolerance using EIA color code
(a metal-film
resistor may have
the value printed on the body). Composi-
tion resistors have four stripes which represent
two signifi-
cant figures, the multiplier and the tolerance value. Metal-
film resistors have five stripes which represent three
significant figures,
the multiplier and the tolerance value.
Capacitor Marking. The capacitance of a disc or elec-
trolytic capacitor
is marked in microfarads on the side of
the component body. The white ceramic capacitors used in
this instrument are color-coded in picofarads using a
modified EIA code.
Diode Color Code. The cathode end of each glass-
encased diode
is indicated by a stripe, a series of stripes, or
a
dot. For most striped diodes, the color code indentified
the unique portion of the TE KT RON IX Part Number using
the EIA color-code system (e.g., a diode color-coded pink-,
blue-,
or brown-gray-green indicates TE KT RON IX Part
Number 152-0185-00).
Semiconductor Lead Configuration. Fig. 3-1 shows the
lead configurations
of semiconductors used in the 1340.
Troubleshooting Techniques
The following steps are intended as aids
in locating a
defective component. If a defective
component is located,
refer
to the replacement procedures given under Corrective
Maintenance.
1. Check Control Settings. Incorrect control settings can
be misleading.
2.
Check Associated Equipment. Ensure that associated
equipment used with
the 1340 is operating correctly. Check
for improper signal connections and flaws
in intercon-
necting cables.
3. Check the Power Source.
4. Visual Check. Inspect
the trouble area. Possible
troubles include unsoldered connections, broken wires,
damaged circuit boards, damaged components, etc.
5. Isolate Trouble to a Circuit. The symptom often
identifies
the circuit in which the trouble is located. When
trouble symptoms appear
in more than one circuit, check
affected circuits
by taking voltage and waveform readings.
3-2
6. Check Voltages and Waveforms. The defective com-
ponent can often be located by checking for the correct
voltage or waveform
in the circuit.
7. Check Individual Components. The following pro-
cedures describe methods of checking components. Com-
ponents which are soldered
in place should first be isolated
by disconnecting one end.
A. SEMICONDUCTORS
CAUTION
Turn the power off before removing or replacing
semiconductors.
To check a transistor, substitute another which is known
to be good. If substitute transistors are not available, use a
dynamic tester. Static-type testers are
not recommended.
8. DIODES
A diode can be checked for an open
or shorted
condition by measuring
the resistance between terminals.
Using an
ohmmeter having an internal source of between
800 millivolts and 3 volts, the diode resistance should be
very high
in one direction and very low when the meter
leads are reversed.
CAUTION
Do not use an ohmmeter scale that would supply a
relatively
large current to the diode. Avoid the lower
ranges, such
as RX1 and RXTO.
C. RESISTORS
Check
the resistors with an ohmmeter. See the Electrical
Parts List for
the tolerance of the resistors used in this
instrument. Resistors normally
do not need to be replaced
unless
the measured value varies widely from the specified
value.
D. CAPACITORS
Use an ohmmeter (high resistance scale) to check a
capacitor for leakage
or short-circuit. Do not exceed the
voltage rating of the capacitor. The resistance reading
should be high after initial charge of the capacitor. An open
capacitor can best be detected with a capacitance meter or
by checking whether the capacitor passes
AC signals.
8. Repair and Readjust the Circuit. If any defective
parts are located, follow
the replacement procedures given
in this section. Be sure to check the performance of any
circuit
that has been repaired.

CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE
General
Corrective maintenance consists
of component replace-
ment and instrument repair. Special techniques required
to
replace components in this instrument are given here.
Obtaining Replacement Parts
Standard Parts. All replacement parts for the instrument
can be obtained through
your local TEKTRONIX Field
Office
or representative. However, many of the standard
electronic components can be obtained locally
in less time
than
is required to order them from Tektronix, Inc. Before
purchasing
or ordering replacement parts, check the parts
list for value, tolerance, rating, and description.
Special Parts. In add ition to the standard electronic
components, some special components are used
in the
1340. These components are manufactured or selected by
Tektronix, Inc.,
to meet specific performance requirements,
3-3

Maintenance-1340 SN B040000-up
or are manufactured for Tektronix, Inc., in accordance with
our specifications. These special components are indicated
in the Electrical Parts List by an asterisk preceding the part
number. Most
of the mechanical parts used in this
instrument have been manufactured by Tektronix, Inc.
Order all special parts directly from your local
TEKTRONIX Field Office or representative.
Ordering Parts. When ordering rE1placement parts from
Tektronix, Inc., include the following information:
1. Instrument
type.
2. Instrument serial number.
3. A description
of the part (if electrical, include circuit
number).
4. TEKTRONIX Part Number.
Soldering Techniques
WARNING
Disconnect the instrument from the power source
before soldering.
Circuit Boards. Use ordinary 60/40 solder and a 35- to
40-watt pencil type soldering iron on the circuit boards.
The
tip of the iron should be clean and properly tinned for
best heat transfer
to the solder joint. A higher wattage
soldering iron may separate
the wiring from the base
material.
The following technique should be used
to replace a
component on a circuit board. Use the procedures given
under
Component Replacement to remove the boards from
the instrument before soldering.
1. Grip
the component lead with long-nose pliers.
Touch
the soldering iron to the lead at the solder
connections. Do
not lay the iron directly on the board as it
may damage
the board.
2. When
the solder begins to melt, pull the lead out
gently. This should leave a clean hole in the board. If not,
insert a sharp object such as a toothpick into the hold to
clean it out. A vacuum-type desoldering tool can also be
used for this purpose.
3-4
3. Bend the leads of the new component to fit the holes
in the board. Insert the leads into the holes in the boards so
the component is firmly seated against the board, or as
positioned originally. If it does not seat properly, heat the
solder and gently press
the component into place.
4. Touch
the iron to the connection and apply a small
amount of solder to make a firm solder joint; do not apply
too much solder. To protect heat-sensitive components,
hold
the lead between the component body and the solder
joint with a pair
of long-nose pliers or other heat sink.
5. Clip
the excess lead that protrudes through the
board.
6. Clean
the area around the solder connection with a
flux-remover solvent.
Be careful not to remove information
printed
on the board.
Metal Terminals. When soldering metal terminals (e.g.,
switch terminals, ground lugs, etc.), ordinary
60/40 solder
can be used.
Use a soldering iron with a 40- to 75-watt
rating and a 1/8-inch side wedge-shaped tip.
Observe
the following precautions when soldering metal
terminals:
1. Apply only enough heat
to make the solder flow
freely. Use a heat sink
to protect heat-sensitive
components.
2. Apply only enough solder
to form a solid connection.
Excess solder may impair
the function of the part.
3. If a wire extends beyond
the solder joint, clip off the
excess.
4. Clean
the flux from the solder joint with a flux-
remover solvent.
WARNING
Disconnect the instrument from the power source
before replacing the components.
General. The exploded-view drawings associated with the
Mechanical Parts List may be helpful in the removal or
disassembly
of components or subassemblies.

Circuit Board Replacement. If a circuit board is damaged
beyond repair, either
the entire assembly including all
soldered components, or the board only, can be replaced.
Part numbers are given
in the Mechanical Parts List for
either
the completely wired or the unwired board.
Interface Board Repair
The 1340 uses strip-cabling to connect the Interface
Board
to the rear-panel connectors. Since the cables are
permanently fastened
to the Interface Board, we do not
recommend replacement of either a cable assembly or the
Interface Board. In the event of the failure of a single
conductor
in a strip cable, the following repair procedure is
recommended:
Using a piece
of No. 28 wire, strip and tin the ends of
the wire. Solder the ends of the wire to the Interface Board
and rear panel connector so
as to shunt the defective
conductor.
In
the event of a failure such as a torn or cut cable,
consult
the nearest TEKTRONIX Field Office or represent-
ative. He can make arrangements for factory
or service
center repair, whichever
is appropriate.
CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
Introduction
A complete calibration procedure for the 1340 is given
in the following pages. Completing the procedure in
sequence, returns the instrument to original performance
standards. Limits and tolerances
in this procedure are given
as calibration guides, and are not instrument specifications.
Performance and calibration
of the 1340 should be
checked after each
500 hours of operation or at least every
6
months to ensure that the instrument is operating
correctly. Recalibration
of the instrument may be per-
formed periodically
as part of a regular maintenance
schedule,
or may be done whenever the need is indicated by
the performance check procedure. Portions of the instru-
ment may require recalibration
if components have been
replaced
or other electrical repairs have been made to the
circuitry.
Any required maintenance should be performed before
recalibration. Trouble observed during calibration should be
corrected using
the techniques discussed earlier in this
section.

Section 4-1340 SN B040000-up
APPLICATIONS
General
The combination of circuit cards installed in a 1340
Data Coupler is determined by the interface and multi-
plexing needs
of the system. The information in this section
is provided as a guide for the selection of appropriate 1340
circuit cards. The information includes: a list of optional
interface-packages for typical applications, a description
of
the purpose and content of each interface-package, a list of
design considerations for computer-oriented circuit cards,
and examples
of typical Data Coupler applications.
NOTE
Circuit cards for a variety
of system applications can
be obtained by ordering from the list of optional
interface-packages
in the TEKTRONIX Catalog. If a
particular system application has requirements that
cannot be accomodated
by the available circuit cards,
consult your local TEKTRONIX Field representative
concerning custom designed circuit
cards.
1340 OPTIONAL INTERFACE PACKAGES
An Interface-Package consists of an Instruction Manual,
one
or more circuit cards, and when required, special 1340
to device cables. The packages are classified according to
function; Control, Specific Device, General Purpose, and
Special Purpose.
The cards of all the Control packages and
some
of the cards of the other packages must be installed in
specific connectors. If a system requires circuit cards that
use the same connectors, a second Data Coupler may be
connected
in parallel to provide the additional facilities. See
Typical
1340 Applications for an example of a system using
two Data Couplers.
Table 1 lists
the Optional Interface-Packages, their part
numbers, and their circuit card connector assignments. Part
numbers for
the individual circuit cards that make up a
package are listed
under Interface Package Description.
Do not install a circuit card, that is designed for use
in connector J1, in any other connector. +19 V is
applied to pins A48 and 848 and -19 Vis applied to
pins
A49 and 849 of connectors J2-J12. These pins
of connector J7 are usually used for logic levels.
Control Packages
The Control packages are used to direct data exchange
between
the System's control unit and the other 1340
Interface Package circuit cards. Every 1340 installation
requires
the use of one Control Interface Package.
PDP-8/l Computer, 021-0008-00. For use with Digital
Equipment Corp. PDP-8/L. Permits bi-directional data
exchange between computer and any other Interface
Package
except 021-0079-00 (32-bit Output & Echo).

Special Purpose
The Waveform Digitizer and Reference Frequency pack-
ages extend a 1340's applications beyond the interface
dimension. The Waveform Digitizer package converts analog
information to digital information to permit computer
analysis
of a measurement. The Reference Frequency
package provides a means
of using a computer to generate
correction factors
for the measurement system's signal path
errors.
Waveform Digitizing Package, 021-0029-00. This pack-
age consists of the following:
2 circuit cards;
(670-1420-00), and
(670-2107-00).

The
use of this package requires the installation of Field
Modification Kit, 040-0577-00, in the system's Type 3T5
or Type 3T6.
The Waveform Digitizing
circuit cards can be operated in
three modes:
1. Scan, Free Run. This is a non-digitizing mode. It can
be selected with the 1340 front panel MODE switch or by
activating the CLEAR programming line to these circuit
cards.
2. Scan, Sample
and Hold. This mode is used to digitize
vertical signal magnitudes at a
series of sequential hori-
zontal
sweep time-points (up to 1024 per sweep). Relating
the horizontal
sweep to an oscilloscope display that is
calibrated for 100 time- points per centemeter, the 1024
time-points occur
from 0 to 10.23 cm. The signal magni-
tudes
of both vertical channels (A and B) can be digitized at
each of the 1024 time-points of a complete sweep.
3. Park, Sample
and Hold. This mode implies equivalent
time sampling oscilloscope operation. It is used to make
repeated digital conversions
of the vertical signal magnitude
at a single horizontal time-point. It is also used for sweep
initializing
prior to using the Scan mode.
NOTE
See Instruction Manual 070-3057-00 for detailed
programming instructions.
