c. Set the Square Wave Generator (item 2 of Recom
mended Equipment) to supply a 1-kHz square wave.
d. Connect the generator output through a 50-ohm
termination, (or a X10 attenuator), a 50-ohm cable, and a
47 pF Input Time-constant Standardizer, to the VERTICAL
-f- INPUT connector in the order given.
NOTE
To attain the desired deflection at different atten

remove the 50-ohm termination and /o r the X I0
attenuator. This w ill not affect the accuracy of
the time-constant checks.

switching between the 2 mSEC and .1 mSEC positions of
the SWEEP TIME/CM switch.

A ll attenuator compensation checks are made with
a display amplitude of 3 cm. Insert or remove
attenuation an d/o r adjust the signal generator
output to maintain this display amplitude.
k. Change the VERTICAL +INPUT switch to GND, the
VERTICAL —INPUT switch to DC, and move the generator
signal from the VERTICAL -f INPUT connector to the VERTI
CAL —INPUT connector.
l. Repeat the procedure outlined in steps (e) through (j).

e. Adjust the generator output for a display 3 cm in
amplitude, and center the display in the graticule viewing
area.
f. Rotate the LEVEL control counterclockwise to obtain a
stable display (near 0).
g. Check—Square-wave display with no more than 2%
aberrations. See Fig. 5-2 for typical displays.
h. Change the SWEEP TIME/CM to .1 mSEC.
i. Check—Square front corner on waveform, with no
overshoot, rounding, or tilt exceeding 2% of the display
amplitude.
j. Check the square wave response in all remaining
a. Requirement—Square waveform showing no more than
2% overshoot, rounding, or tilt.
