INPUT:
SELECTIVITY:
Standard B & K coaxial socket, fitting JP 0101 Plugs, paralleled by a
BNC socket on the rear panel. There is an input "Overload" lamp, and
a separate ground terminal. The maximum input voltage is 5V, and
the impedance is 1 MO in parallel with 100 pF.
A three-position switch that selects the bandwidth of the filters, and
the centre frequency step length for full-octave scanning. Functions
are as follows:
Upper position: third-octave bandwidth with scanning in third-octave
steps.
Middle position: full-octave bandwidth with scanning in third-octave
steps, with overlapping.
