Verifying Option 124, Y-Axis Video Out
Oscilloscope Setup:
The oscilloscope display reveals the following:
The Video Out signal resembles the PSA display. This means the A7
Digital IF assembly in the PSA has successfully reconstructed a video
signal from the ADC.
The period of the trigger signal is 1 ms which corresponds to the full
10 division horizontal sweep time of 1 ms on the PSA.
The 200 mv /Div vertical scope setting allows 5 vertical divisions on the
oscilloscope to correspond to the 10 division display on the PSA.
