Mechanical Installation
All qualification testing for the 1720/1721 was performed in a 1700F00 cabinet.
To guarantee compliance with specifications, the instrument should be operated
in a cabinet. The plain cabinet, 1700F00, is shown in Figure 3-4.
The portable cabinet, 1700F02, is shown in Figure 3-5. The 1700F02 has a
handle, four feet, a flip-up stand, and a front cover. This F02 cabinet is compat-
ible with the TEKTRONIX BP1 battery pack, which can be used as a dc power
source. The hole sizes and spacing are different from those of the 1700F00.
All of the 1700-Series metal cabinets, which are available from Tektronix as
Optional Accessories, provide the proper electrical environment for the
instrument. They supply adequate shielding, minimize handling damage, and
reduce dust accumulation within the instrument.
