No TLA7BXX DesKew Fixture, but what is it?
« on: March 05, 2023, 08:35:14 am »
Hi to All,

Saw this "Fixture". Inadvertently described as DesKew Fixture, but no provision is seen for Probes. In addition: documented TLA7BXX Deskew Fixtures are different, not populated with that much electronic. Anybody who knows the in and outs?

I think this could be for deskewing the acquisition module itself. IIRC the TLA7Bxx modules have an SMA connector to provide the deskew test signal.
There are small lies, big lies and then there is what is on the screen of your oscilloscope.

Hi nctnico,

Thank you for your reply. I also thought of that. I have more then one TLA7BXX Module and the TLACAL Verfication and Adjustment Prodedures don't ask for such a Fixture in their Instructions, only the 020-2940-00 and 020-2942-00 Fixtures are mentioned. In addition:  Restoring Factory Defaults and Module Self-Calibration also don't need it. Maybe it is a Production Tool, needed to create Factory Defaults.
