Model 1020 Description
The Model 1020 is designed to provide fast, simple to do, and accurate measurements of TTL, CMOS, ECL, PECL, sinewave and low voltage 3V quartz clock oscillators. Oscillators with special functions such as VCXO functions, enable/disable pin functions, pretest of TCXOs, etc. can be tested. The Model 1020 is ideally suited for production final testing and incoming inspection. The specifications of the various oscillator types can be stored on the computer's disk to allow easy recall from a menu. The screen shows in a red background the tests that failed to allow easy analysis of nonconforming parts. The Model 1020B uses a Gage-Tektronix 85G 500MHz BW scope card. The Model 1020 occupies 2 full length positions in the PC but only one PCI slot in the computer. Software is Windows 95/98 32 bit code. The computer must have MicroSoft's EXCEL 2000 or 2002 spreadsheet program installed. The Model 1020 has three programs. 
The specification program permits entering and editing the specifications for the oscillators to be tested. The measurement program which operates in MicroSoft's EXCEL. The calibration program which is password protested. The Model 1020 containsa simple controller. With the continuing evolution of the PC and the multi media complexity, the Model 1020 does not depend on the PC for timing and control. The PC only sends commands like those sent on the GPIB or RS232 to any other instrument and receives back status and data. The control is via the COM port of the PC. The measured data can be printed as well as always being displayed on the screen. Measured data of up to 500 tested devices are accumulated to permit subsequent displaying or printing in statistical form. The data is stored in an EXCEL spreadsheet. The logic level thresholds are programmable to any value within the oscillator's supply voltage. The % settings are of oscillator output amplitude. The output Vhigh and Vlow measurements are done using the peak level mode or the histogram mode. The Model 1020 can test TCXOs. The pullability or deviation from several voltage points can be specified. Several data points can be measured and this frequency versus voltage function is then fit to the best straight line through the points. The error in %from the best fit is then computed and compared to user input limits. The Model 1020 can be supplied with numerous test fixtures. These are optimized for each type of oscillator. When a specification is selected, the type of fixture is also selected before testing begins. The standard Model 1020 fixtures do NOT havea Zero Insertion Force DIP/DIL oscillator test socket. These sockets do not have sufficient bandwidth and have far too muchC and L strays. The basic set of contacts will permit mounting the test sockets for DIP/DIL and the various SMT parts. One of these sockets could bea ZIF type socket with the subsequent measurement degradation. The Model 1020 is supplied witha calibration fixture to calibrate the oscilloscope, power supply set voltages and power supply currents. The counter can be operated referenced to an external standard. PRA will consider additional tests to the Model 1020. The Model 1020 is intended to continue to expand to meet the industries needs. For example a Tektronix TDS210 can be used for low frquency testing. The PRA Model 2470/2474 is an expanded version of the Model 1020. The Model 2470/2474 had more capable software, other scopes can be used, for example the Tekronix TDS7404, TDS3052, TDS820, etc.
