Primary Trouble Isolation
The actions in the Primary Trouble Isolation are done without disassembling the
oscilloscope. Interaction of the front panel with the rest of the oscilloscope and other
indicators are used to help identify the problem area.
A letter is assigned to boxes in the flowchart. The letter corresponds to a specific
