NOTE
This instrument should be adjusted at an ambient temperature of +20°C for best overall accuracy. Allow at least IS minutes warmup before proceeding. c Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) film is attached on the enclosure and the front panel of the oscilloscope to protect the metal damaged by scratches, remove it. To clean the enclosure or the front panel, use neutral detergent. Refrain from using thinner, bent.me. alcohol or other chemicals. For safety operation, the instrument chassis and cabinet are sure to con nect the ground lead of the G D (ground) terminal to earth ground, if a two-wire AC power system is used. Failure to complete the ground system may allow the chassis and cabinet of this instrument to be elevated above ground potential and pose a shock hazard. surface. If the PVC film is

Then the sweep bright line will appear. If the observation is to be started immediately. set the FOCUS control at a point where the bright line is sharpest. 17

When mounting the battery pack AD-209, take care not to damage the connecting cables and components.

If the instrument is not used with the power supply turned on. rotate the I TENsity counterclockwise to reduce the brightness and also blur the FOCUS.

setting the MODE switch of vertical axis to ALT or CHOP. When observing two wavefonns of high repetition frequen cies, set the MODE switch to ALT and, in the case of low frequencies, set it to CHOP. Measurement of the phase difference is per formed after effecting synchronization with leading phase signal.

When using a probe
Use the attached probe, AT- I 0 AK I .5, when measuring a high frequency wave with high accuracy.

It should be noted, however, that since the input signal is attenuated by this probe to 1/10 before it is input to the oscilloscope, the use of the probe is disadvantageous for low signals, and that at the same time, the measuring range is extended by that amount for high signals.

(3) When observing wavefonn with X- Y
Set the MODE switch of vertical defection system to CH2 (X- Y) and TIM E/DIV switch to X- Y. Then the instrument works as an X- Y oscilloscope. Each input is applied to the instrument as follows. X-axis signal (horizontal axis signal) CHI INPUT CH2 INPUT

Bring the grounding point of the earth lead wire of the probe close to the point to be measured when measur ing a rapid rising signal or a high frequency signal. Long earth lead wire may cause wavefonn distortions such as ringing and overshoot.

When perfonning observation using a bare lead wire, no trouble occurs on the circuit to be measured at low impedance and high level. However. note that, in most cases. measurement error may be caused by static stray coupling with other circuit and power line. This measurement error cannot be ignored even in low frequency region.

Connect the tip of the probe to the output tenninal CAL O.SV of I kHz calibration square wave voltage.

This means that CHI is used as the triggering signal when investigating the length of time by which the signal of CH2 is delayed from the signal of CH 1. CH2 is used in the reversed case. In other words, the signal leading in phase is selected as the triggering signal source. If this process is reversed, the portion to be measured may sometimes not appear on the screen. Thereafter, equalize the amplitudes of the two signals appearing on the screen or superimpose one on another. Read the time difference between 50% amplitude points of the two signals. Sometimes the superimposing method is more convenient from the point of view of procedure. (5)
