GENERAL INFORMATION
1-1. INTRODUCTION.
1-2. The Hewlett-Packard Model 1740A is a dual-
channel, 100-MHz, delayed sweep oscilloscope de-
signed for general-purpose bench or field use. The
dual-channel vertical deflection system has 12 cali-
brated deflection factors from 5 mV/div to 20 V/div.
Input impedance is selectable (50 ohms or 1 megohm)
to meet various measurement requirements. The
horizontal deflection system has calibrated sweep
rates from 2 s/div to 0.05 us/div and delayed sweep
rates from 20 ms/div to 0.05 us/div. A 10X magnifier
expands all sweeps by a factor of 10 and extends the
fastest sweep to 5 ns/div. In alternate or chop modes,
the trigger-view control feature will display three
signals: channel A, channel B, and trigger signal. This
allows correlation of the time between the trigger
signal and the channel A and channel B signals. With
the A VS B control, an X-Y mode of operation is
possible. The channel A input (Y-axis) is plotted versus
the channel B input (X-axis).
1-3. This manual contains installation and operating
instructions, as well as maintenance information for
the Model 1740A. Instrument specifications and pro-
cedures for verifying proper operation are included.
Procedures are also included for adjusting the instru-
ment to its performance specifications. Schematic
diagrams, the theory of operation, and troubleshooting
information are provided for use in maintaining the
instrument.
1-4, This section of the manual contains the perform-
ance specifications for the Model 1740A, and a list of
the options available. It also lists the accessories sup-
plied with the Model 1740A and other accessories that
are available. Instrument and manual identification in-
formation are also included.
1-5. SPECIFICATIONS.
1-6. Table 1-1 is a complete list of the Model 1740A
critical specifications that are controlled by tolerances.
Table 1-2 contains general information that describes
operating characteristics of the Model 1740A.
1-7. Any change in the specifications due to manufac-
turing, design, or traceability to the U.S. National
Bureau of Standards will be listed on a manual change
sheet included with this manual. The manual and
manual change sheet supersede all previous infor-
mation concerning specifications of the 1740A.

1-12. OPTIONS.
1-13. The options listed below extend the usefulness
of the Model 1740A.
OPTION 001. Option 001 replaces the standard de-
tachable power cord with a captive power cord. There
are two standard options available that install a special
CRT in the standard instrument. The only difference
between the optional CRT and the standard CRT is the
phosphor used in the CRT. Option 007 uses P7 phos-
phor and Option 011 uses P11 phosphor.
OPTION 090. This option omits the two Model 10006D
divider probes normally supplied as accessories. Other
probes listed under Accessories Available, which are
more suitable, may be specified.
OPTION 101. Option 101 is designed for optimum per-
formance with the HP Model 1607A Logic State An-
alyzer to provide both digital logical state and analog
electrical analysis. (Refer to Section IV for circuit de-
tails and Section VI for a list of replaceable parts in
Option 101.)
