How-to Troubleshoot the TDS3052B Tektronix TDS3000B Oscilloscope

General Troubleshooting Tips

• Verify that your factory defaults were in fact recalled before configuring your scope or taking any measurements.
• Double check the circuit configuration. An incorrect connection or missing wire could alter your results.

Function Check procedure for Tektronix Oscilloscope

1. Connect your oscilloscope power cable
2. Power on your oscilloscope. Confirm that self tests have passed.
3. Connect your oscilloscope probe to channel 1. Connect the probe tip & reference lead to PROBE COMP connectors.
4. Press the AUTOSET button. You should see a square wave in the display (approx. 5V at 1kHz).

Troubleshoot: RS-232 Communications Port

1. Verify the correct cable and adapters are in use
2. Verify that cables are connected to the correct ports
3. Reset the RS-232 parameters to Defaults, then set the Baud Rate to match the computer or hard copy device.
4. Enable the debug window to view the RS-232 status, data transmitted, data transceived, and errors.

Troubleshoot: No signals onscreen (after scaling & offsetting)

• Double check for loose wiring or connections from the probe alligator clips / grabber clips.
• Verify your black leads from the probes are grounded.
• If earth ground is present, verify black leads of the probes and earth ground are at the same potential.

 Troubleshoot: Unexpected signal onscreen

• Double check the timescale, a small piece of a larger waveform might be displayed.
• Double check that probe clips are connected to the correct circuit node.

 If your problem persists

• Recall factory defaults once more and try again
• Contact Tech Support for further assistance
