OPERATOR’S CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
The following procedure is provided as an aid in obtaining a display on the
1720/1721 Vectorscope, and may be used as a check of basic instrument
operation. Only instrument functions are checked in this procedure. All checks
can be made with a cabinet on and it is necessary to have all internal jumpers in
the factory-set position.
When a complete check of the instrument performance to specification is
desired, a qualified service technician should make the Performance Check in
Section 5 of this manual.
This procedure requires a source of composite video and composite sync signals.
A TEKTRONIX 1410 Series Television Test Signal Generator mainframe with
Sync, Color Bar, and Linearity modules was used in preparing this procedure.
