Tektronix 314 Manual

I. Press INTEGRATE button momentarily (a fraction of a
second to several seconds is reasonable). Note a fully-stored
display. If the trace does not store fully on the first attempt,
repeat the integration for a longer time, or with a higher in 
tensity. Press ERASE button and release STORE button.
The ENHANCE button provides a method of storing single
sweep or low repetition-rate displays that exceed the normal
writing speed of the crt. The ENHANCE mode is not
normally used for repetitive sweeps.
NOTE
After sustained use (6 hours, or more) in the
non-store mode or in the store mode with no 
thing written, the writing speed may be improved
by leaving the target fully stored for 5 to 15
minutes. This procedure may be repeated every
few hours to refresh the storage target in appli 
cations requiring maximum stored writing rate.
Using Enhanced Mode
To use the enhance feature, first obtain the best possible
display of the signal in the normal store mode. Then press
ENHANCE button in and set the ENHANCE LEVEL con 
trol to about midrange. Apply a single-sweep display. If
ENHANCE LEVEL control is properly set, the display will
be stored with minimum background luminance. The
INTENSITY level may have to be set quite high in
ENHANCE mode.
If ENHANCE LEVEL control is set too high, the back 
ground luminance may obscure the desired display. If
ENHANCE LEVEL control is set too low, the display may
not be adequately stored. Therefore, experimentation is
necessary for an optimum enhanced display.
Integrated Fast-Rise Waveforms
The Integrate circuit permits storage of waveforms of rela 
tively fast sweep rates with relatively low repetition rates.
Waveforms that might be difficult to see because of the low
sweep duty cycle, or have poor resolution, due to the re 
quired high setting of the INTENSITY control, can often
be stored using the Integrate method to produce brightness
or better resolution.
S CAUTION
Do not attempt to store extremely fast-rising or
fast-falling portions of waveforms viewed at
relatively slow sweep rates. The high trace in 
tensity required (due to the intensity difference
between the horizontal and vertical segments)
could cause storage target damage.
