GENERAL INFORMATION
AND INSTALLATION
Introduction
The 475 Oscilloscope is a 200 megahertz bandwidth
portable instrument designed to operate in a wide range of
environmental conditions. The lightweight, compact
design combines accurate high-frequency measurement
capability and ease of transportation.
The dual-channel, DC-to-200 megahertz vertical
deflection system provides calibrated deflection factors
from 2 millivolts to 5 volts/division. A BW/TRIG VIEW
switch permits limiting the bandwidth of the vertical
system to reduce interference from high-frequency
signals when viewing lower-frequency, low-level signals.
The switch also permits displaying of the signal applied to
the ‘A’ Trigger Generator on the CRT.
sweep to trigger in a stable manner on aperiodic signals or
complex digital words. The horizontal deflection system
has calibrated sweep rates from 0.5 second to 0.01
microsecond/division. A X10 magnifier increases each
sweep rate by a factor of 10 to provide a maximum sweep
rate of one nanosecond per division in the .01 position.
The delayed and mixed sweep features allow the start of B
sweep to be delayed a selected amount from the start of A
sweep to provide accurate relative-time measurements.
Calibrated X-Y measurements can be made with Channel
2 providing the vertical deflection and Channel 1 providing
the horizontal deflection (TIME/DIV switch fully
counterclockwise and VERT MODE switch to CH 2).
Regulated DC power supplies provide stable instrument
performance over a wide range of line voltages and
frequencies. Maximum power consumption of the instru-
ment is approximately 100 watts.
