Operating Instructions—434
3. Set both In pu t Coupling switches to DC (AC if DC
component of inp ut signal is too large).
4. Set the Vertical Mode switch to A L T . Set the
V O LT S /D IV switches so the signals are about equal in
am plitude.
5. Set the TR IG G ER SOURCE switch to COMP.
6. Set the Vertical Mode switch to A D D . Set the
IN VE R T switch so the common-mode signals are of
opposite polarity.
7. Adjust the Channel 2 V O LT S /D IV switch and
Variable VO LT S /D IV control fo r m axim um cancellation of
the common-m ode signal.
8. The signal which remains should be only the desired
portion of the Channel 1 signal. The undesired signal is
cancelled out.
EXAM PLE. An example of this mode of operation is
shown in Fig. 2-14. The signal applied to Channel 1 con
tains unwanted line-frequency components (Fig. 2-14A). A
corresponding line-frequency signal is connected to Channel
2 (Fig. 2-14B). Fig. 2-14C shows the desired portion of the
signal as displayed when comm on-mode rejection is used.
