4-132.  Timing  Functions.  Before  proceeding with the op-
erational sequence, note the following timing functions: 
a. 
The  Address  Counter 
is 
incremented by the high to 
low  transition that occurs when Clock 
Cl 
changes from the 
write phase to the read phase. 
b.  Clock 
C9 
goes  high  during  the  read  phase 
of 
Cl. 
When 
C9 
goes 
high,  the  8-bit  word  present  on the 
RAM 
Data Output lines 
is 
strobed into the Latch. 
c. 
The  Read/Write  line 
of 
the 
RAM 
is 
controlled  by 
Clock  ClO  which  goes  low  during  the  write  phase 
of 
Cl. 
When 
ClO goes low, the 8-bit word from the Y-Axis A to D 
Converter 
is 
written into the 
RAM 
address selected by the 
X-Axis 
A to D Converter. 
d. 
The  A  to  D Converters  are  clocked by 
C9 
and C 
11 
during the read phase 
of 
Cl. 
This  means that their outputs 
can change only during the read phase. 
4-133.  Operational Sequence.  For the operational descrip-
tion, the following initial conditions exist: 
a. 
The 
SWEEP 
MODE 
switch 
is 
set to SING 
to 
provide a 
single 
frequency sweep. 
b.  The 
SWEEP 
TIME 
setting 
is 
0.01  SEC/DIV (fastest 
sweep time). 
c. 
The 
ADAPTIVE 
SWEEP 
control 
is 
set  to  the  OFF 
position. 
d. 
The 
CLEAR 
WRITE 
button has been pressed to clear 
the display and initiate a new sweep. 
e. 
'Clock Cl 
is 
high (write phase). 
f.  The  Address Counter 
is 
in state 1023 and will reset to 
r/J 
when C 1 goes low. 
4-134. 
At 
the  beginning 
of 
the frequency  sweep, the ramp 
input to the X-Axis  A to D Converter 
is 
0 V and the binary 
code  at  its  output 
is 
r/J 
(0000000000).  During  the  write 
phase 
of 
C 1,  the 
RAM 
Address  lines  are  switched  to  the 
X-Axis 
A 
to 
D  Converter  and address 
r/J 
is 
selected. 
When 
Clock ClO 
goes 
low, the 8-bit word from the Y-Axis A to D 
Converter 
is 
written  into  address 
r/J. 
This  8-bit  word 
represents the video amplitude at the start frequency 
of 
the 
sweep. 
When 
Clock 
Cl 
goes 
low, the 
RAM 
Address lines 
are 
switched to the  Address  Counter and the Address  Counter 
resets  to 
r/J. 
At 
this  point, the Display  Ramp Generator 
is 
reset,  the  CRT sweep 
is 
at the left-hand side 
of 
the screen 
and 
RAM 
address 
r/J 
is 
selected  by  the  Address  Counter. 
When 
Clock 
C9 
goes high, the 8-bit word stored in Address 
r/J 
is 
strobed into the Latch, converted 
to 
de 
by
0
the D 
to 
A 
Converter  and applied 
to 
the  vertical  deflection  plates 
of 
the  CRT. 
When 
Clock 
Cl 
goes 
high,  the 
RAM 
Address 
Lines 
are 
again 
switched to the 
X-Axis 
A 
to 
D Converter. 
With 
the 
SWEEP 
TIME  control  set 
to 
O.ol  SEC/DIV,  it
