Getting Started
Getting Started This chapter provides an overview of the Tektronix IntelliFrame Mainframe family. It includes installation and configuration information on user-installed options. Product Description The IntelliFrame Mainframes are intelligent, 13-slot, C-size, VXIbus Mainframes. They fully comply with the VXIbus Specification 1.4 requirements and are VXIplug&play compatible. The mainframes can be configured as standard benchtop or optional rackmount instruments.
Getting Started Intelligent Cooling The IntelliFrame Mainframe provides optimal cooling for all installed modules. The mainframe uses an intelligent, adaptive cooling scheme to efficiently remove heat while maintaining quiet operation. The mainframe monitors the temperature rise of the exhaust air above each module slot and automatically adjusts the fan speed to keep the temperature rise to user specified temperature rise or less for the each module.
Getting Started You can install the rackmount kits along with the cable trays to provide vertical cable access to easily route cables to instruments above or below the mainframe while keeping lead lengths as short as possible. You can also install an optional Lexan door with the rackmount kit. NOTE. If you choose to extend the mainframe out of the front of the rack, the mainframe cannot accept a door.
Getting Started Standard Accessories The IntelliFrame Mainframe comes with the following standard accessories: H IntelliFrame Mainframe Instruction Manual H One single-slot panel filler H Five double-slot panel fillers H Two power cords (voltage range and plug type varies according to country, see Table 1–2) H Fuse holder H Line fuse, 15 A, 250 V H Line fuse, 20 A, 250 V H Line fuse, 6.

Getting Started Selecting the Correct Power Cord and Fuse The standard IntelliFrame Mainframe comes with two power cords and three fuses. Before installing the mainframe, you must determine the correct fuse and power cord for your application. Use the following information to determine the appropriate power cord and line fuse for either the VX1410A or the VX1420A mainframes. This information is important to avoid overloading the power distribution system and to comply with the National Electrical Code.
Getting Started Site Considerations The IntelliFrame Mainframe is designed to operate on a bench or in a rackmount environment. For proper cooling, allow at least 2 in (5.1 cm) of clearance on the rear and sides of the mainframe. Determine how you will use your mainframe with cable trays, and then follow the appropriate installation instructions. If you ordered your mainframe with a cable tray option and rackmount option, install the cable tray before installing the rackmount. WARNING.

Attach the left and right inside tracks to the sides of the IntelliFrame Mainframe using five 8-32 flathead screws. Add a spacer plate between the left track and mainframe, refer to the Replaceable Parts on page 9–15.
Getting Started 3. Align the rear bracket to the right slide-out track as shown in Figure 1–7. Note that the rear bracket has two pairs of mount-through holes. When aligning the bracket and the track, select a pair of holes that mount the rear bracket so the flange-to-flange distance (see Figure 1–7) matches the front rail to rear rail spacing that you just measured in step 2. NOTE. If necessary, refer to the rackmount kit instructions for detailed installation information. 4.
Getting Started NOTE. The 13.25-inch vertical clearance is only valid for the mainframe without the plastic feet, rails and cable trays. Refer to Figures 4–2, 4–4, and 4–5 on pages 4–11, 4–12, and 4–13 for information on vertical clearances of the mainframe with cable tray options. 12.0 in (304.8 mm) 14.0 in (355.6 mm) Left-front rail 1.5 in (38.1 mm) 0.5 in (12.7 mm) (For correct position of securing holes) Figure 1–8: Vertical clearance for rack installation (standard mainframe) 7.
Getting Started 8. Using the mounting method determined from the previous step, secure the right slide-out track assembly to the front and rear rails. Seat the screws fully, but lightly, so that you can adjust the mounting later. 9. Tighten the screws left loose in step 4 to fix the front to rear flange spacing of the slide-out track assembly. 10. Repeat steps 6 through 9 to mount the left slide-out track assembly. Left slide-out track Left slide-out track Use a bar nut if front rails are not tapped.
Getting Started 13. Slide the mainframe back until it stops. 14. Push to release the button latches, located on the outside of each track, and continue to slide the mainframe all the way back into the rack cabinet. 15. Tighten the four screws that you left loose at the rear of the rack when you performed step 8, and pull the mainframe part way out of the rack. (Tighten the 10-32 screws using 28 inch-lbs of torque.) 16.

Install the bottom halves of the two hinges to the left rackmount bracket as shown in Figure 1–11. 2. Install the top halves of the hinges on the door. 3. Install the catch on the right rackmount bracket. You can adjust the catch position forward or back to assure a flush fit between the door and the rackmount bracket. 4.
Getting Started Configuration After installing the mainframe, you are ready to configure it for your applications. If you have not already done so, install your VXIbus modules in the mainframe following the installation guidelines for your VXIbus module. Module Selection and Design Guidelines 1–20 The IntelliFrame Mainframe is UL listed to UL 3111-1 and CAN/CSA C22.2 No. 1010.1 and is IEC 1010-1 compliant.
Getting Started Install Empty Slot Panel Fillers If you have any unused (empty) slots in your mainframe, you may install the empty slot Panel Fillers. Install either the single-wide or double-wide fillers that came with your mainframe. Refer to Figure 1–12 for information on installing the slot fillers. CAUTION. To avoid damage caused by heat use only Tektronix front panels; otherwise, the shutters may activate, effectively robbing airflow from installed modules.
Getting Started Safety and Chassis Grounds The left rear of the IntelliFrame Mainframe has a connection point for the chassis ground (see Figure 1–13). WARNING. To avoid personal injury the safety ground screw must always be in place to ensure the proper bonding of the power supply to the mainframe. You can use the chassis ground connection to connect the grounds of one or more instruments to the mainframe. This ensures a common ground connection between instruments.
Getting Started EMI Configurations Perform the following steps if you intend to install the optional EMI Intermodule shields and/or blank EMI filler panels. Part numbers are listed under Optional Accessories on page 9–9: NOTE. It is only necessary to install the EMI intermodule shields if your VXIbus module does not have EMI shielding. Backplane EMI DIN shields are standard. 1.
Getting Started Logical Address Switch Settings You can set the logical address of the mainframe with the switches on the rear panel. Figure 1–15 shows the locations of the logical address switches on the rear of the Enhanced Monitor panel. In most cases, you can leave the switches in the factory default position of FF. This allows the mainframe to dynamically configure the address. However, make sure that no other module has the same slot address as the Enhanced Monitor board.
Getting Started Functional Check Use the information in this section to determine that the IntelliFrame Mainframe operates properly. The functional check consists of checking the power supply voltages at the 25-pin connector at the rear of the mainframe with a digital voltmeter. If your VX1410A mainframe comes with the optional display (standard on the VX1420A mainframe), verify that the display shows no errors at power on.

A root node is a mnemonic at the root level. A root node and one or more lower-level nodes form a header path to the last node called the leaf node.
Syntax NOTE. Do not include the <, >, {,}, or | symbols when entering the actual value for a parameter. Separate multiple parameters after a command header with a comma. For example: STATus:QUEStionable:TEMPerature:LIMit DELTa1,30 Table 3–13 defines the command and response parameter types for the IntelliFrame Mainframe.
Syntax Message Terminator and Message Separator In accordance with IEEE 488.2 and the VXIbus specification, the IntelliFrame Mainframe accepts any of the following message terminators: H LF^END Linefeed code (hexadecimal 0A) with the END bit in the Byte Available command asserted. H LF Linefeed code H ^END Last data byte with the END bit in the Byte Available command asserted. A semicolon separates one command from another when the commands appear on the same line. See Entering Commands.
Syntax Because the mainframe assumes that a command at the beginning of a program message starts from the root, you have the option of beginning the initial command header with a colon (:). Combining Commands You can combine (concatenate) commands and queries using a semicolon (;). The mainframe executes concatenated commands in the order it receives them. When you concatenate queries, the mainframe combines the responses into a single response message.

The fourth field of the id message includes both the SCPI and firmware version numbers. Syntax Parameters Reset Value Parameter Query response Not Applicable
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *OPC *OPC? The command synchronizes command execution with the controller. The command causes the device to set the OPC bit in the Standard Event Status register after the previous command has completed execution. The query causes an ASCII one to be placed in the output queue after the previous command has completed execution.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *PSC *PSC? Sets or queries the setting of the power-on state clear flag. If the parameter is zero, the power-on state clear flag is set to FALSE; otherwise the flag is set to TRUE. If the power-on state clear flag is FALSE, at power on, the Service Request Enable Register, the Standard Event Status Enable Register, and the SCPI Enable Register settings will be restored to their previous settings. Otherwise, the settings will be cleared. The factory default setting is 0.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *RST This command resets instrument settings to a default state. There is no query associated with this command. This command has no effect other than stopping the VXI Monitor. The VXI Monitor stops execution while other monitors remain active.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *SRE *SRE? Sets or queries the enable mask for the Service Request (Status Byte) Register. Setting unused enable bits does not generate an error; they are ignored. The STATus:PRESet command does not change this enable mask. The IntelliFrame Mainframe accepts NonDecimal Numeric masks even though this is not required by IEEE 488.2. The factory default setting is 0.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *STB? This query returns the contents of the Status Byte Register. There is no command associated with this query.
IEEE 488.2 Common Commands *TST? This query initiates an internal self test and returns a failure code.

Adjustment Procedures
Adjustment Procedures This chapter describes adjustment procedures for the IntelliFrame Mainframe. There are no hardware adjustments required for the IntelliFrame Mainframe. The information in this chapter describes the command set for service related tasks. Perform the calibration procedures when major modules have been replaced in the mainframe, such as the Enhanced Monitor, Backplane or Sense circuit boards. The information in this section is designed for use by qualified service personnel.
Adjustment Procedures 9. Refer to Table 7–1 and set up the PC RS-232 port configurations. The RS-232 settings must match those of the mainframe. Table 7–1: PC RS-232 settings for the calibration Procedure RS-232 Parameter Setting Baud Rate 9600 Data Bits 8 Stop Bits 1 Parity None Flow Control Xon/Xoff 10. Make sure that the mainframe has had at least five minutes to warm up before continuing this procedure. 11.
Adjustment Procedures 15. VX1410A with Option 1M or a VX1420A: Use then the front panel Next and Prev buttons to scroll through the delta temperature of the slots. All delta temperatures should read 0 °C ±1 °C. 16. Power down the mainframe. 17. This completes the calibration procedure. The rest of this section describes the CALibration and SYSTem:PASSword commands in detail.
Adjustment Procedures CALibration CALibration? This a service-related command. The command calibrates the exhaust temperature of each slot. While the mainframe executes the command, the command sets the CALibrating bit in the Operation Status Condition register. The query performs the same function as the command but it also returns a pass or fail response. A return value of 0 means that the calibration has passed and a return value between 10 and 22 indicates a calibration failure in slots 0 through 12.
Adjustment Procedures SYSTem:PASSword:CDISable This command disables the protected command CALibration. If the user sends the CALibration command after this command, the IntelliFrame Mainframe will generate an error. Syntax Parameters Reset Value Errors and Events Dependencies Examples Related Commands Query response ”VX1410” Not Applicable Not Applicable –221, “Settings Conflict.” You attempted to send an invalid password.
Adjustment Procedures SYSTem:PASSword:CENable This command enables the protected command CALibration. The user has to send this command before the CALibration command; otherwise the IntelliFrame Mainframe will generate an error. Syntax Parameters Reset Value Errors and Events Dependencies Examples Related Commands 7–6 Query response ”VX1410A” Not Applicable Not Applicable –221, “Settings Conflict.” You attempted to send an invalid password.
Adjustment Procedures SYSTem:PASSword:CENable:STATe? This query returns whether the password protected commands are enabled/disabled. Enabled commands return a value of 1; disabled commands return a value of 0.
Adjustment Procedures SYSTem:SERial SYSTem:SERial? This command stores the serial number of the instrument in nonvolatile RAM. The query returns the serial number previously stored. The command converts all lower case characters in the serial number to upper case.
