of

the

manual.

General

Information

The

Type

S-4

Sampling

Head

is

an

input

signal

processing

unit

for

Tektronix

sampling

units

such

as

the

Type

352,

355,

and

386.

Input

characteristics

of

the

sampling

system

are

determined

by

the

Type

S-4.

The

Type

S-4

has

an

input

im-

pedance

of

500

and

a

risetime

of

25

ps

or

less.

The

Type

S-4

can

be

installed

directly

into

a

sampling

unit

or

used

remotely

(with

the

Type

3S2

or

Type

355)

on

an

optional

3

foot

or

6

foot

extender

cable.

When

used

with

a

Type

356

Sampling

Unit

the

Type

S-4

is

plugged

into

the

dual-input

extender

cable

supplied

with

the

Type

356.

A

portion

of

the

signal

delivered

to

the

sampling

head

input

is

coaxially

coupled

to

the

sampling

unit

for

use

as

an

internal

trigger

signal.

The

Type

382

allows

selection

of

the

trigger

pickoff

signal

from

the

Channel

A

or

Channel

B

sampling

head.

Type

385

and

356

Sampling

Units

permit

use

of

the

trigger

pickoff

signal

only

from

Channel

A.

Use

of

this

trigger pickoff

signal

is

dependent

upon

the

type

of

sampling

unit

and

sampling

sweep

unit

used

in

the

system.

See

the

instruction

manual

for

your

sampling

unit

and

sampling

sweep

unit

for

further

information.

Vertical

deflection

factor

of

the

sampling

system

is

label-

ed

at

the

top

of

the

Type

S-4

as

mVOLTS/DIV;

the

label

refers

to

the

sampling

unit

Units/Div

switch

of

the

corre-

sponding

channel.

Digital

Unit

Programming

Connections

The

Type

S-4

has

two

contacts

at

its

rear

connector

that

program

the

decimal

and

units-of-measure

lamps

of

a

Tek-

tronix

Type

6RI1A

or

Type

230

Digital

Unit.

These

connections

are

not

used

with

a

Type

382

Sampling

Unit.

When

using

a

Type

355

or

Type

386,

one

of

the

sampling

head

contacts

notifies

the

digital

readout

unit,

through

the

sampling

unit

digital

control

circuits,

that

the

Type

S-4

is

a

voltage

meas-

uring

head.

This

causes

the

Volts

lamp

of

the

digital

readout

unit

to

light.

The

other

sampling

head

contact

notifies

the

digital

readout

unit,

through

the

sampling

unit

digital

control

circuits,

that

the

Type

$-4

sensitivity

requires

no

decimal

shift

of

the

numbers

around

the

sampling

unit

Units/Div

switch.

ELECTRICAL

CHARACTERISTICS

Characteristics

The

following

characteristics

apply

over

an

ambient

tem-

perature

range

of

0°C

to

+50°C

and

after

a

five

minute

warmup

providing

the

instrument

was

calibrated

at

a

tem-

perature

between

+20°C

and

+30°C.

Characteristics

listed

below

apply

only

after

the

Type

S-4

has

been

properly

mated

to

the

sampling

unit

and

indicator

and

after

these

units

have

been

given

should

be

adjusted

when

label

on

the

For

example,

with

in

a

Type

382

and

the

Units/Div

switch

set

at

100,

each

of

CRT

de-

flection

corresponds

to

100

millivolts

of

Display

Characteristics

of

Fastrise

Input

Pulses

In

Fig.

2-3A

the

displayed

pulse

shows

overshoot

at

the

end

of

the

fastrise

portion

of

the

pulse.

This

overshoot

is

normal

when

using

the

Type

S-4

together

with

a

fastrise

pulse

generator

such

as

the

Type

$-50.

Since

the

0%

to

100%

amplitude

of

the

pulse

is

5

divisions,

each

division

represents

20%.

In

Fig.

2-3A

the

overshoot

appears

to

have

an

amplitude

of

approximately

0.4

divisions

or

8%.

The

preshoot

portion

of

the

Type

S-50

output

pulse

is

the

relatively

slow

rise

signal

driving

the

Type

S-50

output

tunnel

diode.

The

fastrise

portion

occurs

as

the

output

tunnel

di-

ode

switches.

Thus,

the

region

labeled

as

the

preshoot

por-

tion

of

the

pulse

in

Fig.

2-3A

is

apparently

much

slower

than

the

fastrise

portion.

The

presence

of

several

dots

indicates

samples

taken

during

the

preshoot,

and

the

absence

of

samples

during

the

fastrise

portion

indicates

the

difference

in

risetime.

The

appearance

of

these

portions

of

the

Type

S-50

output

pulse

at

a

faster

rate

is

the

suddenly

by

mV.

The

displayed

pulse

of Fig.

2-3B

is

typical

of

the

Type

S-50

and

Type

S-4

combination.

In

Fig.

2-3B

the

aberration

occurring

approximately

4.5

ns

after

the

fastrise

portion

of

the

pulse

is

a

result

of

a

reflec-

tion

at

the

input

gate

of

the

Type

S-4.

A

portion

of

the

fast-

rise

part

of

the

pulse

traveling

from

the

Type

S-50,

through

the

2

ns

length

of

coax

and

through

the

Type

S-4

input

con-

nector

to

the

input

gate,

is

reflected

back

to

the

Type

S-50.

This

round

trip

requires

approximately

4.5

ns

when

the

Type

S-50

and

Type

S-4

are

interconnected

with

a

2

ns

section

of

coaxial

line.

Adding

a

second

2

ns

section

of

line

in

series

with

the

first

would

result

in

the

reflection

being

displayed

4ns

2ns)

later,

or

8.5ns

after

the

fastrise

portion

of

the

pulse.

Determining

Risetime

1.

Set

the

fastrise

portion

of

the

displayed

pulse

to

grati-

cule

center,

as

shown

in

Fig.

2-3B,

using

the

Time

Position

control

of

the

Type

372.

2.

Change

the

Type

3S2

factor

to

100

mV/Div

(Variable

at

CAL).

3.

Vertically center

of

the

pulse using

the

Type

3S2

4.

Set

the

Type

312

Time

Magnifier

at

X50 and

readjust

the

triggering

for

minimum

jitter

using

the

Type

312

Sensiti-

vity

control.

5.

Set

the

Type

3T2

Mag

at

X10

and

carefully

adjust

the

Time

Position

control

for

a

display

similar

to

that

of

Fig.

2-3C.

In

order

to

accurately

determine

the

displayed

risetime

the

display

should

be

photographed

or

stored

(on

a

Storage

Oscilloscope

CRT)

to

permit

careful

analysis.

To

store

the

display,

set

the

Type

3T2

Display

Mode

to

Single

Swp.,

the

Type

554

upper

and

lower

screen

for

storage,

and

push

the

Type

3T2

Single

Sweep

Start

pushbutton.

The

pulse

risetime

is

found

by

determining

the

horizontal

distance

between

the

10%

and

90%

amplitude

points

and

multiplying

this

distance

by

the

Time/Div

setting

of

the

sampling

sweep

unit.

It is

recommended

that

the

0%

to

100%

amplitude

be

adjusted

to

exactly

5

divisions

using

the

Type

382

Variable

control,

and

the

display

vertically

center-

ed

using

the

Type

382

DC

Offset

control.

This

will

position

the

0%

point

2.5

divisions

below

graticule

center

and

the

100%

point

2.5

divisions

above

graticule

center.

The

10%

amplitude

will

then

appear

2

divisions

below

graticule

cen-

ter

and

the

90%

point

2

divisions

above

graticule

center.
