6. Operation adjacent to equipment w h i c h produces strong A C magnetic fields should be avoided where possible. This includes such devices as large power supplies, transformers, electric motors, etc., that are often found in an industrial environment. Strong magnetic shields can exceed the practical C R T magnetic shielding limits and result interference and distortion.

® (23) TRIG COUPLING Select the coupling method used for the trigger signal. W h e n NORM is selected w i t h s w i t c h @ , either A C coupling ( J I _ A C ) or DC coupling ( _M_ DC) can be selected with s w i t c h (§).
OPERATION INITIAL STARTING PROCEDURE Until you familiarize yourself with the use of all controls, the following procedure may be used to standarize the initial setting of controls as a reference point and to obtain trace on the C R T in preparation for waveform observation. W h e n using the probe(s), refer to probe's instructions and "...

In the C H O P mode, the s w e e p is chopped at an approximate 5 0 kHz rate and s w i t c h e d between C H 1 and C H 2 . Note that in the C H O P mode of operation, the trigger source becomes the chopping signal itself, making waveform observation impossible.

Trigger signal (Gate signal) • CH1 (Input signal to amplifier, etc.) C H 2 (Output signal from amplifier, etc.) Fig. 6 Triggering Level Trigger point on waveform is adjusted by the L E V E L / P U L L S L O P E ® control. Fig. 7 s h o w s the relationship between the S L O P E and L E V E L of the trigger point.
[2] MAGNIFIED SWEEP OPERATION Sfnce merely shortening the s w e e p time to magnify a portion of an observed w a v e f o r m can result in the desired portion disappearing off the screen, such magnified display should be performed using the MAGNIFIED S W E E P .
APPLICATION P R O B E C O M P E N S A T I O N T o obtain an accurate measurement result, the probe must be adjusted correctly before measurement. 1 . Connect the probe to the INPUT terminal and set the control for a normal s w e e p display. 2.

ELIMINATION OF UNDESIRED SIGNAL COMPONENTS The A D D feature can be conveniently used to cancel out the effect of an undesired signal component which superimposed on the signal you w i s h to observe. Procedure: 1 . Apply the signal containing an undesired component to the C H 1 INPUT jack and the undesired signal itself alone to the C H 2 INPUT jack.
TIME MEASUREMENTS T h i s is the procedure for making time measurements between t w o points on a w a v e f o r m . The combination of the S W E E P T I M E / D I V and the horizontal distance in divisions between the t w o points is used in the calculation.

Fig. 13 1 cycle = 4 0 /*s (5 /ts/div. x 8 div.) [ E X A M P L E ] A period of 4 0 is observed and measured. (See Fig. 13) Substituting the given value: Freq = 1 / [ 4 0 x 1 0 " ] = 2 .
APPLICATION. OF X-Y OPERATION * Phase Shift Measurement A method of phase measurement requires calculations based on the Lissajous patterns obtained using X - Y operations. Distortion due to non-linear amplification also can be displayed. A sine w a v e input is applied to the audio circuit being tested. T h e same sine w a v e input is applied to the vertical input of the oscilloscope, and the output of the tested circuit is applied to the horizontal input of the oscilloscope.
MAINTENANCE AND ADJUSTMENT A Caution : Read this page carefully to keep your safety. For Electric Shock Protection: Be sure to disconnect the power cable from the socket before conducting the following operation. MAINTENANCE There is high voltage used inside this unit. Never open the case. R E P L A C E M E N T OF FUSES This oscilloscope will not function if the fuse has blown.
ADJUSTMENT This oscilloscope w a s already fully adjusted w h e n shipped from the factory. If adjustment becomes necessary, heed the following precautions. 1. S e t the power supply voltage to the proper level. 2 . Use only insulated adjustment screwdrivers for adjustment. 3 .
