Norsk Data utility, Tektronix1.4.10.3 - Norsk Data utility, Tektronix


Tektronix 1240 Logic Analyzer serial no. B071055

Yet another Tektronix 1240 instrument, but unfortunately it does not work. The instrument starts, but fails in the selftest with the message:

MODULE AREAROUTINEINDEX
FRONT PANELFAILSOFT KEYS12211

The rest of the modules; I/O, display, control, trigger and interfaces pass the selftest. It is dismounted and some parts are kept as spare parts and the rest thrown away.

Front view:

  • The display with the touch screen, there are 10 predefined positions for the touch buttons, 5 at the top and 5 at the bottom of the screen.
  • The Execute buttons: Start, Stop and Auto.
  • The Scroll wheel.
  • The Menu buttons: Config, Trigger, Data, Edit and Utility.
  • The digits: 0..9, A..F, X (don't care) and Glitch.
  • The two select buttons: Up and Down.
  • The navigations buttons: Left, Right, Up, Down and Next.
  • The DC on/off switch.

Rear view:

  • The main AC power switch.
  • The main AC fuse which should be 5AF (fast) when used on the 115V net and 2.5AF (fast) on the 230V net. The fuse found on this instrument is a 5A (should be a 2.5A) so someone did not change or bother about using the appropriate fuse (nitpicking).
  • The main AC power connector.
  • The main AC line voltage selector (115V/230V).
  • Coaxial connector for the video output (external display).
  • A contrast knob for the internal display.
  • Two coaxial connectors for external trigger input and output.
  • A slot for a COMM PACK (not used).

Right view:

  • All the connectors for the probes, one common for clocks, triggers etc. and 8 data probes numbered from 0 to 7. Behind the slots 0 and 1 we have a 9 channels interface card so the slot 1 is not used, and there is none interface card installed for the slots 6 and 7.
  • A slot for a PROM/RAM PACK.
