Re: 7613 Mainframe - Readout problem
and I must be thinking of another 7K frame as I couldn't find it in the manual I have. It's also been called thermal compensation, or it may not be there on this model. But the symptom was dancing

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
No problem, Attilio! :) As to tuning the filter, it's very important to take a good picture (or several) showing clearly the initial state of all of the adjustments before you started adjusting them.

Re: 7613 Mainframe - Readout problem
There is a low frequency compensation adjustment on the vertical output amplifier. If your power supplies are ok, check that next. -ls-

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
Thanks Tom, sorry, but I'm a little old and sometimes I miss something. I have read the cavity filter tuning procedure, the note that warns me that if you lose the signal it becomes almost impossible

Re: 7613 Mainframe - Readout problem
Thanks Harvey, I have not yet tested the voltages and their ripple on the power supply, I thought it was a fault on the Readout board, but I replaced it and the defect remained. Tomorrow I'll check

Re: 7613 Mainframe - Readout problem
Have you checked power supply voltages and ripple with the two sets of plugins inserted?? Wandering across the screen suggests both X and Y problems, and changing with load suggests power supply.?

Re: Spectrum analyzer Tektronix 7L13 on mainframe Tektronix 7603
Hi Attilio, I encourage you to read the article I linked you to earlier. You do have to retune the filter only a few percent. You cannot skip that step¡ªthe filter has a very steep rolloff so a few

7613 Mainframe - Readout problem
Greetings to all, I brought home a 7613 mainframe to insert the 7L13 (SA) plug-in, but it has a problem in readout. It currently has a 7A16A vertical plug-in and a 7B70 plug-in timebase installed.

Thanks Tom, you still give me hope to find the 52.5 MHz crystal third overtone. Just one question: if I understand correctly I don't have to touch the calibration of the four cavity filter, is that

A frame and front panel from a 5000 series scope plugin is the same as the TM500[0] plugins. Sometimes they can be found for under $20 on ebay. Vince. -- K8ZW http://www.metalworkingfun.com
