TDS 500B, 600B and TDS 700A Service Manual

Introduction
Service Strategy
STOP. Throughout this manual, any field-replaceable component, assembly, or
part of this oscilloscope is referred to generically as a module.
This manual contains all the information needed for periodic maintenance of the
TDS 500B, 600B and 700A Digitizing Oscilloscopes. (Examples of such
information are procedures for checking performance and for readjustment.)
Further, it contains all information for corrective maintenance down to the
module level. This means that the procedures, diagrams, and other troubleshoot-
ing aids help isolate failures to a specific module, rather than to components of
that module. Once a failure is isolated, replace the module with a fresh unit
obtained from the factory.
All modules are listed in Mechanical Parts List. To isolate a failure to a module,
use the fault isolation procedures found in Section 6, Maintenance Information.
To remove and replace any failed module, follow the instructions in Removal
and Installation Procedures, also found in Section 6.
