Adjustment
-
Adjust the FINE trimmer on the
oscillator
until the wave-
form moves with a velocity of a
maximum
of 1 div/IOs
(0.1
Hz). See Figure
6-5.
If the
adjustment is too narrow, proceed as
follows:
-
Set the FINE trimmer fully clockwise.
~
Remove the two screws holding the
oscillators text plate.
-
Use a pair
of
tweezers to remove the small
plastic
cylin-
der beneath
the text plate.
-
Connect an
external counter
to the 10 MHz OUT
socket
of
the counter to be
adjusted.
-
Adjust the
COURSE
trimmer until the display
reads
1
0000003 Hz on the external
counter.
-
Adjust the
FINE trimmer
until the display
reads
10000000 Hz on the external
counter.
-
Reinstall the plastic
cylinder
and the text plate
to
the os-
cillator.
Adjust
the FINE trimmer on the oscillator
until
the waveform
moves
with
a velocity of a maximum of 1
div/IOs
(0.1
Hz).
