The input signal connectorsfor each channel let yo u connectsignals that you
want to sample. Toacquire a signal, connect the signal to the sampling module
through the Signal Connectorinput. Signal connectors used on your sampling
module are describedin Table 2 on page 2.
Connector Care. Never attach a cable to a sampling-moduleconnector if the cable
has a worn or damaged connector because you may damage the sampling-mod -
ule connector. Use extra care when attaching or removi ng a cable from the
connectors. Turnonly the nut, not the cable. When attaching a cable to a
sampling-module connector,align the connectors carefully before turning the
nut. Use light finger pressure to make this initial connection. Then tighten the
nut lightly with a wrench. For more information, see Connector and Adapter
CareRequirements on page 38. For the specific torque settings, see Table 5 on
page 42.
If the sampling-moduleconnectors will receive heavy us e, such as in a produc-
tion environment, you should install adapters(such as a Tektronix part number
015-0549-xx for3. 5 mm connectors)on the sampling module to make connec-
tions to the device under test.
Each channelhas a SELECT channel button and a yellow channel light. The
button operatesas follows:
