HUser-replaceable parts

Performance Verification

Consult the User Manual of the module on which the Option 01 is mounted. You

may use the Functional Check procedure listed in the Getting Started section of

that manual to verify that the module is operating correctly. The instrument has

been fully tested and calibrated before leaving the factory.

If the self test indicates a failure, contact your Tektronix field office or represen-

tative for assistance.

Preventive Maintenance

You should perform inspection and cleaning as preventive maintenance.

Preventive maintenance, when done regularly, may prevent Option 01 malfunc-

tion and enhance reliability. Inspect and clean the Option 01 as often as

conditions require by following these steps:

1. Turn off power and remove the Option 01 from the VXIbus mainframe.

2. Remove loose dust on the outside of the instrument with a lint-free cloth.

3. Remove any remaining dirt with a lint-free cloth dampened with water or a

75% isopropyl alcohol solution. Do not use abrasive cleaners.

Troubleshooting

If you suspect a malfunction, first double check connections to and from the

Option 01. If the trouble persists, perform a self test.

If the self test indicates a failure, contact your Tektronix field office or represen-

tative for assistance.
