SAFETY SUMMARY
This manual contains safety information which the user must follow to ensure safe operation of this instrument . WARNING
information is intended to protect the operator ; CAUTION information is intended to protect the instrument . The following
are general safety precautions that must be observed during all phases of operation and maintenance .
WARNING
Ground the Instrument
To reduce electrical-shock hazard, the mainframe (oscilloscope) chassis must be properly grounded. Refer to the mainframe
manual for grounding information .
Do Not Operate in Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate this instrument in an area where flammable gases or fumes are present. Such operation could cause an
explosion .
Avoid Live Circuits
Electrical-shock hazards are present in this instrument. The protective instrument covers must not be removed by operating
personnel. Component replacement and internal adjustments must be referred to qualified service personnel.
Do Not Service or Adjust Alone
Do not service or make internal adjustments to this instrument unless another person, capable of giving first aid and resusci-
tation, is present.
WARNING
Warning Statements
Warning statements accompany potentially dangerous procedures in this manual . The following warnings appear in this
manual and are listed here for additional emphasis .
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from the power source before soldering.
To avoid electrical shock, disconnect the instrument from the power source before replacing components.
Handle silicone grease with care . Avoid getting silicone grease in eyes. Wash hands thoroughly after use.
71380 Features
The 7880 Time-Base unit provides calibrated sweep rates from 5 seconds to 10 nanoseconds and triggering to 400 megahertz
for 7700-, 7800-, and 7900-series oscilloscopes . A X10 Magnifier increases each sweep rate by a factor of 10 and a VARI-
ABLE TIME/DIV control provides continuously variable sweep rates between calibrated steps . Variable hold off and alpha-
numeric readout are provided . Also, when operating in the AUTO TRIGGERING MODE, a bright baseline trace is displayed
in the absence of a trigger signal . The 71380 can be operated as an independent time base or as a delayed-sweep unit with a com-
panion delaying time-base unit .

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The 71380 Time-Base unit operates with a Tektronix 7700-, 7800-, and 7900-series oscilloscope mainframes and a 7A-series
amplifier unit to form a complete oscilloscope system . This section describes the operation of the front-panel controls and
connectors, provides general operating information, a functional check procedure, and basic applications for this instrument .
INSTALLATION 2. Install an amplifier plug-in unit in a vertical compart-
ment .
The time-base unit is designed to operate in the horizontal
plug-in compartment of the mainframe. This instrument
can also be installed in a vertical plug-in compartment to 3. Set the time-base unit controls as follows :
provide a vertical sweep on the crt. However, when used in
this manner, there are no internal triggering or retrace SLOPE (+)
blanking provisions, and the unit may not meet the specifi- MODE P-P AUTO
cations given in Section 2. COUPLING AC
SOURCE INT
POSITION Midrange
To install the unit in a plug-in compartment, push it in until TIME/DIV 1 ms
it fits firmly into the compartment. The front panel of the VARIABLE Calibrated (Pushed in)
unit should be flush with the front panel of the mainframe . (CAL IN)
Even though the gain of the mainframe is standardized, the HOLD OFF MIN (fully counter-
sweep calibration of the unit should be checked when in- clockwise)
stalled . The procedure for checking the unit is given under MAG X1 (pushed in)
Sweep Functions in the Functional Check procedure in this
section .
4. Turn on the mainframe and allow at least 20 minutes
warmup .
To remove the unit, pull the release latch (see Figure 1-1)
to disengage the unit from the mainframe, and pull it out of
the plug-in compartment.
CONTROLS, CONNECTORS, AND INDICATORS
All controls, connectors, and indicators required for the
operation of the time-base unit are located on the front
panel . Figure 1-2 shows and provides a brief description of
all front-panel controls, connectors, and indicators . More
detailed information is given in the General Operating
I nstructions .
FUNCTIONAL CHECK
The following procedures are provided for checking basic
instrument functions. Refer to the description of the con-
trols, connectors, and indicators while performing this pro-
cedure . If performing the functional check procedure
reveals a malfunction or possible improper adjustment, first
check the operation of the associated plug-in units, then re-
fer to the instruction manual for maintenance and adjust-
ment procedures .

TRIGGERING
LEVEL Control-Selects a point on the trigger signal where triggering occurs .
SLOPE Switch-Permits sweep to be triggered on negative or positive-going portions of the trigger signal .
READY Indicator-Illuminates when sweep circuit is armed (SINGLE SWEEP Mode) .
TRIG'D Indicator-Illuminates when the display is triggered .
MODE Pushbuttons-Selects the operating mode of the triggering circuit .
COUPLING Pushbuttons-Selects the method of coupling the trigger signal to triggering circuit.
SOURCE Pushbuttons-Selects source of the trigger signal .
SWEEP
POSITION Control-Provides horizontal positioning.
FINE Control-Provides precise horizontal positioning.
MAG Pushbutton-Selects magnified X10 or unmagnified sweep.
HOLD OFF Control-Permits hold off period to be varied to improve trigger stability on repetitive complex waveforms.
TIME/DIV Selector-Selects the sweep rate of the sweep generator.
VARIABLE Control and CAL Switch-Selects calibrated or uncalibrated sweep rates. Uncalibrated sweep rates can
be continuously reduced to at least the sweep rate of the next slower position .
SWP CAL Adjustment-Compensates for basic timing changes due to the differences in sensitivity of mainframes
EXTERNAL TRIGGER INPUT
EXT TRIG ATTENUATOR-Selects attenuation factor for external trigger signals .
EXT TRIG IN Connector-Connector (BNC type) provides input for external trigger signals.
