AM700 Audio Measurement Set Service Manual
1–1
Specifications
The Tektronix AM700 Audio Measurement System is a programmable high-
performance, mixed signal audio analyzer designed for use in product design,
characterization, quality control, manufacturing test, and servicing. It is also a
valuable tool for monitoring and testing of signal distribution systems used in
broadcasting and related applications.
The AM700 Audio Measurement System is an advanced audio test set combin-
ing the signal generating capability of a two-channel analog and digital audio
generator with the measurement / analysis capability of a two-channel analog and
digital audio analyzer using digital signal processing. All hardware control,
instrument configuration, data storage and I/O operations may be accomplished
with the front-panel interface. The AM700 can be operated remotely through its
GPIB port. Timed functions may be programmed using remote control.
Key Features of the AM700
H The AM700 is compact, light weight, and self contained making it suitable
for both bench and portable audio testing applications.
H The AM700 is the first advanced audio analyzer to employ the proven
touch/turn/zoom interface consisting of hard keys, knobs, and touch screen
soft key controls.
H The AM700 provides manual, semiautomatic, and fully automatic testing
operation.
H Graphical and text displays of measurements on early versions of the AM700
are displayed on a 7-inch monochrome raster-scan CRT. Later versions use a
flat-panel LCD color display. A touch screen and soft key menu structure
provides the user interface to the extensive applications of the AM700.
Larger, external color displays of the AM700 screens are supported with a
VGA port and user-supplied VGA monitor.
H Printed copies of screens of the AM700 may be output to printers connected
to RS-232C or GPIB ports. In addition, you may store the information on a
1.44 Mbyte, 3.5-inch floppy disk, using the internal disk drive, for later use
or analysis.
H LISTEN mode on all applications (except Digital Interface Tester) allows
monitoring of signals through headphones.
H The physical size of the AM700 is approximately 7.7 inches high, 18.2 in-
ches wide (with handle), 18.8 inches deep, and it weighs about 31 pounds.
This size allows the instrument to fit laboratory bench space and enhances
