The '''Nicolet 526''' is a signal averager that is used in a modified OEMed [[5110|Tektronix 5110]] ([[5103N]]/[[D10]]) mainframe. | |||
The modifications to the mainframe performed by Nicolet include | |||
* adding a perforated panel for fan cooling via the bottom panel of the scope, | |||
* adding a 12-pin connector on the rear panel of the scope | |||
* connected the 12-pin connector to the interface board, connector J604. | |||
The 526 has its own +5V regulated rail. | |||
<!--An external source of +7V unregulated DC is routed from thee 12-pin rear connector to the mainframe interface board, | |||
and into the plug-in.--> | |||
An LM323 +5V three-terminal regulator is the source of the +5V rail within the Nicolet 526. | |||
(Even though the input is marked "+7 UNREG" on the board, it should probably be +7.5V minimum, | |||
per the LM323 datasheet.) | |||
Since the LM323 is rated for 3 amperes, it is unlikely that the plug-in sinks more than that from | |||
the "+7 UNREG" input. | |||
How does the Nicolet 526 get the horizontal signal to the scope if it only plugs into the right vertical plug-in interface connector? | |||
In a standard, unmodified 5103, there is no signal path from the right vertical connector to the horizontal amplifier. | |||
Mechanically, the Nicolet 526 is a three-bay 5000-series plug-in. | |||
It mates with the center-bay plug-in connector. | |||
The Nicolet 526 is made of four boards and a backplane which has a 40 position two sided edge connector for each board. | |||
Connection to the Tektronix mainframe is done via the backplane. | |||
The four boards are: | |||
* ADC and Register: The SIGNAL wire from pin 23A on the plug-in interface goes to the inverting input of an LM301 opamp via a resistance of around 165 kΩ. The noninverting input of this opamp is grounded. | |||
* Address | |||
* Control | |||
* Memory | |||
The design makes heavy use of 7400-series digital logic in DIP packages. | |||
The printed circuit boards are two-layer. | |||
The memory is an array of Fairchild 2102DC MOS 1k x 1 static RAM ICs, DIP, soldered in place. | |||
The wires connecting the backplane board on the 526 to the mainframe interface connector on the 526 are labeled: | |||
* H LOCK TRIG (white w/ black stripe), pin 27B of the plug-in connector | |||
* TRIGGER (light violet) 26A | |||
* RO TRIG (violet) 26B | |||
* Y LOCK IN (blue) 25B | |||
* FID SIG (green) maybe "FID" stands for "Free Induction Decay" in NMR? pin 24B on the interface connector, wired to pin 33 of the board #2 (address). | |||
* SIGNAL (brown) 23A | |||
* RO STUS (yellow) 23B | |||
* +7 UNREG (black), pin 22A and 22B of the plug-in connector | |||
* +7 UNREG (black), pin 22A and 22B of the plug-in connector | |||
* GND (white) 14A and 14B (standard 5000-series pinout) | |||
* GND (white) 14A and 14B (standard 5000-series pinout) | |||
* -VERT SIG (white w/ red stripe) 13B (standard 5000-series pinout for vert CH2) | |||
* +VERT SIG (white w/ brown stripe) 13A (standard 5000-series pinout for vert CH2) | |||
* -HORIZ SIG (white w/ orange stripe) 11B | |||
* +30 (red) 5A (standard 5000-series pinout) | |||
* -30 (orange) 5B (standard 5000-series pinout) | |||
* 11A is jumpered to 14B at the male plug-in connector of the 526. | |||
The 12-pin rear-panel connector has its pins numbered on the inside of the connector. | |||
