Vertical input connector for signal.
Selects vertical mode of operation.
CH
1:
The
Channel 1 signal
is
displayed.
CH
2:
The
Channel 2 signal
is
displayed.
ALT:
Dual
trace display of signal on both
channels. Display switched
at
end
of
each sweep.
CHOP:
Dual
trace display of signal on
both channels. Approximately
one·-mi-
crosecond segments
from
each channel
displayed
at
a repetition rate of about
500
kilohertz.
ADD:
Channel 1 and 2 signals are alge-
braically
added
and the algebraic
sum
is
displayed on the
CRT.
TRIGGER
Selects source of internal trigger signal
from
vertical system.
NORM:
Sweep circuits triggered
from
dis-
played channel(s). Channel 1 signal
available
at
CH

connedor.
CH

Sweep circuits triggered only
from

Selects source of trigger signal.
INT:
Internal trigger signal obtained
from
Vertical Deflection System. When
CH
1 light
is
on, trigger signal
is
obtained
only
from
the Channel 1 input signal;
when the light
is
off,
the trigger signal
is
obtained
from
the displayed chan-
nel(s).
Source of internal trigger signal
is
selected by the
TRIGGER
switch.
LINE:

from
a sam-
ple of the
line

to
this
instrument.

10:
Attenuates external trigger sig-
nal
approximate·ly
10
times.
Light
indicates that the internal trigger sig-
nal
is
obtained only
from
the signal con-
nected
to
the Channel 1
INPUT
connector
(see
TRIGGER
switch).
Determines method of coupling trigger
signal to trigger circuit.
AC:
Rejects
DC
and attenuates signals be-
low
about 30 hertz. Accepts signals
between about 30 hertz and
50
mega-
hertz.
LF
REJ:
Rejects
DC
and attenuates signals
below about 30 kilohertz. Accepts sig-
nals between about 30 kilohertz and
50
megahertz.
HF
REJ:
Accepts signals between about 30
hertz and
50
kilohertz; rejects
DC
and
attenuates signals outside the above
range.
DC:
Accepts all trigger signals
from
DC
to
50
megahertz or greater.
Selects portion of trigger signal
which
starts the sweep.
""""
+:
Sweep can be triggered
from
positive-
going portion of trigger signal.
-:
Sweep can be triggered
from
negative-
going portion of trigger signal.
Selects amplitude point on trigger signal
at
which sweep
is
triggered.
Decreases display jitter for high-frequency
signals. Has negligible effect
at
lower
sweep rates.
