®
Determines
the
operating
mode
for
the
A Trigger Circuit.
AUTO: With
the
proper
trigger
control
settings, A Sweep can be
initiated by signals
that
have
repetition
rates above
about
20
hertz
and
are
within
the
fre-
quency
range selected by
the
COUPLING switch.
In
the
ab-
sence of an
adequate
trigger
signal or when
the
trigger con-
trols
are misadjusted,
the
sweep
free-runs
to
produce
a reference
trace.
NORM: With
the
proper
trigger
control
settings, A Sweep can be
initiated by signals
that
are with-
in
the
frequency
range selected
by
the
COUPLING switch.
In
the
absence
of
an
adequate
trig-
ger signal
or
when
the
trigger
controls
are misadjusted,
there
is
no
trace.
SING SWP: After a sweep
is
dis-
played,
further
sweeps
cannot
be
presented
until
the
SING
SWP
pushbutton
is
pressed again.
The
display
is
triggered
the
same
as
for
NORM
operation
using
the
A

controls.
Provides
control
of
holdoff
time
between
sweeps
to
obtain
stable
displays
when
triggering
on
aperi-
odic
signals (such as
complex
digital
words). Variable can increase hold-
off
time
up
to
at
least
10
times
the
holdoff
time
of
the
NORM posi-
tion.
In
the
B ENDS A position
(fully clockwise),
the

is
reset
at
the
end
of
the

provide
the

MIX:
The

zontal sweep
is
displayed
at
a

set
by
the
A TIME/DIV

the
latter

of

at
a rate
set
by
the
B
TIME/DIV
switch. Relative
amounts
of
the
display allocated
to
each
of
the
two
rates are
determined
by
the
setting
of
the
DELAY-TIME POSITION dial.
A INT: Displayed sweep rate deter-
mined by
the
A TIME/DIV
switch.
An intensified
portion
appears
on
the
