Calibration— Type 544/RM544
f. Disconnect the VOM or 10X probe.
g. Disconnect the coax cables, 'T' connector, and set
the AMPLITUDE CALIBRATOR switch to OFF.
17. Check MAG ON and UNCAUBRATED Neons—
Horizontal Amplifier
a. Check that the MAG ON neon is lit when the HOR
IZONTAL DISPLAY switch is set to X2, X5, XI0, X20,
X50, and XI00.
b. Check that the MAG ON neon is not lit when the
HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch is set to EXT and
NORMAL.
c. Check that UNCALIBRATED neon is lit when the
combined settings of the TIME/CM switch and HOR
IZONTAL DISPLAY switch produces a sweep rate 5
nsec/cm or faster. For example: If the TIME/CM
switch is set to .5/SEC and the HORIZONTAL DIS
PLAY switch is set to XI00, the UNCALIBRATED neon
should light.
18. Adjust X I0 CAL (X I0 Magnified Sweep

b. Apply 100-ju.sec, 1-msec and 5-msec time markers
from the time-mark generator through a coaxial cable
to the TU-7 Ext Input connector.
c. Set the TU-7 Variable control so the display is about
4 cm in amplitude.
d. Center the display vertically using the TU-7 Vertical
Position control.
e. Adjust, if necessary, the TRIGGERING LEVEL control
to obtain stable triggering on the 5-msec time marks.
Fig. 5-6a shows the time markers displayed with re
spect to the graticule markings. Use the HORIZON
TAL POSITION control to position the center 5-msec
time marker to the center of the graticule as shown
in the illustration.
f. Set the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch to XI0. Posi
tion the center 5-msec time marker to graticule center
(see Fig. 5-6).

g. Adjust the XI0 CAL R544 control (see Fig. 5-2) so
there is 1 marker per cm from the 1-cm to 9-cm grati
cule lines. For accurate adjustment the XI0 CAL con
trol should be adjusted so the markers at the 1-cm
and 9-cm graticule lines coincide exactly with the
1-cm and 9-cm graticule lines.
