P3410 and P3420 Instructions
Instructions
This package contains either a P3410 TTL pod or a P3420 variable
pod. Twelve cables are supplied with each pod (012-1502-XX for
the P3410 and 012-1504-XX for the P3420). Both pods are designed
to be used with the Tektronix DG2020 or DG2020A Data Generator.
Refer to Figure 1 to determine which pod you are using.
Information for installation, operations, specifications, and
accessories can be found in the DG2020 or DG2020A User Manual.
The following instruction describes about the cable connection only
between the Pod and the DG2020A. However, if your data generator
is the DG2020, you can also read this instruction as replacing
DG2020A with DG2020.
Precaution for Connecting Cable
CAUTION. Make sure that you have correctly inserted the cable
plug in the DG2020A and the pod before turning on power. The
yellow wire end of the connector must be aligned with the
triangular yellow index mark on the DG2020A or pod.
Incorrectly connected cables will damage the DG2020A and the
pod.
Note that the connectors on the DG2020A rear panel are installed
with the tab slot down, and the connector on the pod rear panel is
installed with the tab slot up (see Figure 2).
To connect a cable between the DG2020A and a pod, align the yellow
wire end of the cable connector with the triangular yellow index
mark on the DG2020A or pod connector. Doing this also correctly
aligns the connector alignment tab. See Figure 2. Then carefully but
firmly insert the cable connector into the DG2020A or pod connector.
For further information for connection, refer to the DG2020A User
Manual titled DG2020A Data Generator With P3410 & P3420 Pods.
