Tektronix 4052/4054 & A-Series Tech Data has 34 pages on microcode!

This is the Tektronix 070-2840-03 Nov 1982 revision of the 4052/4054 Technical Data Service Manual to include the 4052A/4054A:
http://dvq.com/tektronix/Tek_070-2840-03_4052-4054A_technical_data.pdf

Pdf pages 142 to 175 have a LOT more detail on the ALU microcode than previous versions of this manual.
These pages are all noted as Revised Nov 1982.

This could really help @daver2 in creating a 4052/4054 Emulator

This service manual also includes changes to the calibration sections for 4052A and 4054A!

I am entering the calibration programs from this manual and debugging the typo errors to create programs for me to use to debug my Write-Thru hotspot issue on my 4054A.

I'll give them a read...

Something (more) to do over Christmas...

The 4052 has the same Display Board and GPIB and other I/O as the 4051.
The 4052/4054 have the v5.1 ROMS


The 4052A and 4054A have the A-Series v1.5 ROMs and the newer ALU microcode for the new opcodes

This is the version of the document I've been using preferentially. Searching my email, I think you pointed out dvq.com/tektronix to me back in April '22... I think I must have just poked around in there a bit.

Note that this document has the mix-ups in the 4054A calibration around the swapped figure legends for the standard and Option 31 version of the HV/Z-axis board.

I think these have been corrected in the October 1983 updates to the technical manual that you scanned and uploaded here:

There are also corrections to the figure legends mentioned above.

I have a copy of this document - and this is largely what is implemented within my 4052 emulator already.

Yes, I have been looking at all of these Technical Data manual versions as I am trying to create a single calibration program with user definable keys to select which image to display - based on which model 4050 computer you have.

I'm placing the menu for which UDK displays which calibration image as a single line of text above the graphics area like I have been doing for my latest SVG and Bitmap images. I think I will have one main calibration program that detects which 4050 model and then appends the correct program containing the routines in the manual for that model. I see a test that is for the 4052A and one for the 4054A that I will only show if you have that model.
