Preface
This manual documents the TEKTRONIX 1735 HD High Definition Waveform
Monitor.
The information in this manual is intended for instrument operators and service
technicians. Operators should be familiar with basic television terms and
measurements. Qualified service technicians also should be familiar with
television terms and measurements, and have moderate experience with analog
and logic circuits.
The manual is divided into two parts: Operator’s Information and Service
Information. The Operator’s Information is useful to both operators and service
technicians. The Service Information is intended only for qualified service
technicians.
Operator’s Section
The Operator’s section includes Sections 1 and 2.
Getting Started includes a general description of the instrument and describes
Options and Accessories.
Installation includes electrical and mechanical installation information. The
electrical installation information includes power mains conversion, adjustments,
and operational changes available with the instrument. The mechanical installa-
tion information includes rackmounting, custom installation, and portable use.
Operating Basics familiarizes the user with the front- and rear-panel controls,
connectors, and indicators; includes an operator’s checkout procedure and other
operator familiarization information.
Service Section
The Service section contains information required by service technicians to
install, calibrate, maintain, and troubleshoot the instrument. This is included in
the remaining sections of the manual.
Specifications includes references to the corresponding Performance Check
steps.
Theory of Operation provides an overall block diagram description and detailed
circuit descriptions. Read the block diagram description for an overview of the
instrument. The detailed circuit descriptions should be used with the block
diagram and schematic diagrams in the foldout pages for specific information
about individual circuits.

Preface
xii 1735 HD High Definition Waveform Monitor
Performance Verification and Adjustment Procedures includes the Performance
Check Procedure and the Adjustment Procedure. The Performance Check
Procedure is used to verify that the instrument’s performance is within its
specifications, and the Adjustment Procedure is used to adjust the instrument to
meet its specifications. The procedures are preceded by a list of recommended
test equipment. Each procedure has a short form listing of the individual steps.
Maintenance includes preventive, troubleshooting, and corrective information.
Replaceable Electrical Parts includes order information and part numbers for all
replaceable electrical parts.
Diagrams contains servicing illustrations. These include adjustment locations,
circuit board part locations, a block diagram, schematic diagrams, and
waveforms. Parts locating tables are included that cross-reference the circuit
board illustrations and the schematic diagrams.
Replaceable Mechanical Parts includes ordering information and part numbers
for all replaceable mechanical parts. This parts list is referenced to an exploded
view mechanical drawing. Also included are lists of accessories and optional
accessories.
Options documents instrument options. The information in this section summa-
rizes the options. Additional details are included in appropriate places throughout
the manual.
