Section 1—SC 501
OPERATING
INSTRUCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
DESCRIPTION
The SC
501
general
purpose oscilloscop)e is
designed
to
operate
in
a
TM 500
Series Power
Module. The
SC
501 has
a
bandwidth of
at
least
5
MHz
and
a
calibrated
vertical
deflection range
from
10 mV/DIV
to
1 V/DIV,
selectable
in
decade steps.
An uncalibrated
VARIABLE control
extends
this
range
to at
least 10
volts/division.
Calibrated sweep
rates are selected by
pushbutton-
controlled
logic in decade steps
from
1
ms/DIV
to
lOOms/DIV
(millisecond
range)
and
in decade steps
from
1
ms/DIV
to 100 ms/DIV
(microsecond
range). A
VARIABLE
control
extends
the
slowest calibrated sweep
rate
to
at
least 1
second/division and
a
X5
Magnifier
extends
the fastest
calibrated
sweep
rate
to
at
least
200
nanoseconds/division.
The
triggering circuits
allow stable
triggering from either
internal or external sources. An AUTO
triggering mode and
manual LEVEL/SLOPE
selection
is
combined in
a
single
control. With no
input signal,
automatic
triggering provides
a
bright baseline
at
all
sweep rates.
An internal switch
converts the
horizontal deflection
system
of the
SC
501 to
an External Horizontal
Amplifier
mode
of operation.
INSTALLATION AND
REMOVAL
The
SC
501
is calibrated and ready
for use as
received.
Referring to
Fig. 1-1,
install the
SC
501
and turn on
the
Power
Module. Check
that the POWER
indicator on
the
SC
501 front panel comes
on.
NOTE
It
is
recommended
that the
Power Module be
turned
off before
inserting or removing
the
SC
501. Arcing
at
the
rear connector terminals
can reduce
connector
life. However,
no internal
damage will
result
if
the
SC
501 is
inserted in
a
live Power
Module.
Refer
to
CONTROLS &
CONNECTORS
(Fig.
1-2)
for
description
of front panel
controls, connectors
and
indicators.
