The '''Tektronix 1240''' is a logic analyzer, introduced in 1984. The '''1241''' is the same device but with a color-shutter CRT, it was introduced in 1986.


The Tektronix 1240 is a logic analyzer. The [[1241]] is the same device but with a color-shutter CRT.
==Specifications==
The 1240/1241 accommodate one to four acquisition boards of type [[1240D1]] with 9 channels or [[1240D2]] with 18 channels
for a total of up to 72 acquisition channels.  Acquisition speeds reach up to 100 MHz asynchronous or 50 MHz synchronous.
The 1240/41 provides 14 levels of triggering with conditional branching.  


The power supply is a switch-mode supply that mainly generates 5 V at up to 45 A. It requires a minimum load of 11.6 A. Additionally it generates 3 V at up to 8 A with no minimum load and several other voltages that are derived from linear post regulators.
There are two cartridge interfaces. 
 
The rear slot is for I/O devices; three were produced.  The [[1200C01]] is the RS232C Comm pack.  The [[1200C02]] is the GPIB comm pack.  The [[1200C11]] is the parallel printer comm pack.  It required the [[12RC01]] Printer Support ROM pack. 
 
The cartridge slot interface on the side of the instrument was memory specific and was for ROM and RAM packs.  Both 8K and 64K RAM packs with battery backup were made, note that the battery is a potential HazMat made by Catalyst Research and may destroy the cartridge when it leaks.  There were also ROM packs (12RMXX series) that allow for mnemonic disassembly and state analysis of most microprocessors of the time.  The ROM packs were made with a generic PCB that had two socketed ROMs and jumpers to select the size.
 
See the [[Microprocessor support table]] for processor configuration options.
 
There is a design for a multipurpose RAM/ROM pack, called [[Making_1200_series_cartridges|SuperPack]] by Pavel Korensky.  Note the errata in the [[Media:Tek1240-SPDesign10.ZIP|README file]].
It uses either [[P6460]] (general purpose) or [[P6462]] (TTL) 9-channel probes.
==Internals==
The 1240 is built around an [[Intel 8088]] as the control processor with 64K DRAM, and firmware in a bank of EPROMs.
 
A separate I/O processor board is powered by a [[Zilog Z-80]]A CPU. The display controller is built from individual TTL and ECL ICs.
 
The power supply is a switch-mode supply that mainly generates 5 V at up to 45 A. It requires a minimum load of 11.6 A.  
Additionally it generates 3 V at up to 8 A with no minimum load and several other voltages that are derived from linear post regulators.


Boards are two to six layers.
Boards are two to six layers.
The CPU board has battery backed up RAM to save the current configuration and one user configuration. 
This battery is a lithium iodide cell.  It will eventually fail and leak, damaging the PCB. 
The battery is visible on the picture for the A09 processor board.
