TEKTRONIX 370A is a a discontinued electronic test and measurement instrument developed by TEKTRONIX Inc. It is an all-in-one instrument with a broad range of instrumentation capabilities, ranging from basic digital logic and simple analog measurement applications to complex digital and analog design characterization tests. The instrument has a four-slot mainframe which houses six function modules. These include digital logic module, basic analog measurements module, digital (VHDL) design characterization module, advanced analog measurements module and chip probing module. The digital logic module of TEKTRONIX 370 A provides logic signals measurement capabilities. It includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a pattern generator, and periphery circuitry for logic signal manipulation and generation. With the ADC, up to eight individual voltage/logic-level inputs can be monitored at high accuracy in real-time. Furthermore, the onboard pattern generator allows the user to create digital patterns of up to sixteen logic signals. In addition, the logic module includes circuitry to analyze and monitor static and dynamic timing events between logic signals. The basic analog measurements module of 370A is equipped with analog signal measurement capabilities, allowing users to measure DC and AC signals up to 10KHz. It includes a true-rms microvoltmeter, an oscilloscope trigger and DC voltage source, and a four-quadrant plotter. The DC voltage source can be used to generate various reference voltages for applications such as comparison with measured signals. The oscilloscope triggered provides broad-band functionality, allowing the user to display various types of waveforms. The four-quadrant plotter allows for comprehensive waveform analysis of DC and AC signals. The digital (VHDL) design characterization module provides the capability to measure the timing, logic operation, I/O behavior, and power consumption of complex digital designs. It allows for a wide variety of timing-measurement capabilities and can also be used to validate designs before they are implemented. The advanced analog measurements module of 370 A enables users to measure various high-frequency signals up to 50MHz. It includes a spectrum analyzer, signal generator, true-rms voltmeter, and programmable high/low frequency counter. Furthermore, the integral programmable high/low frequency counter provides automated frequency measurements for a variety of simple and complex analog waveforms. Finally, the chip probing module of TEKTRONIX 370A provides the ability to manipulate and measure integrated circuit (IC) pins in a lab environment. This module includes a precision circuit-debugger, C-probe, oscilloscope, and low voltage microscope. With the precision circuit-debugger, an array of probing circuitry is provided to enable the user to accurately monitor IC behavior, including power (Vdd, Vee), internal nodes, and I/Os. Furthermore, the C-probe allows for the manual probing of individual IC pins using a tiny, yet highly sensitive, quartzstylus. The onboard oscilloscope enables the user to view real-time inputs and outputs of the IC, while the low voltage microscope provides hands-on probing under high-magnification, observing the internal workings of the IC. In conclusion, TEKTRONIX 370 A is a comprehensive electronic test equipment designed to provide a variety of measurement capabilities, ranging from basic digital logic and simple analog measurements to complex digital and analog design characterization tests. The versatile instrument includes six different function modules which provide logic signal measurement, basic and advanced analog measurements, digital design characterization, and chip probing capabilities.
