PRODUCT OVERVIEW GOS-630FC User Manual Main Features Block Diagram High intensity The CRT incorporates high beam transmission, high intensity, and a 2kV high acceleration voltage. The CRT displays clearly readable traces even at acceleration higher sweep speeds. Wide In addition to the DC‐30MHz (‐3dB) wide bandwidth and bandwidth, the oscilloscope provides a 1mV/DIV high sensitivity. The 30MHz frequency range is sensitivity obtained by an improved triggering synchronization. Frequency A built‐in 5‐digit frequency counter offers ±0.02% Counter accuracy between 1kHz and 30MHz, and ±0.05% between 50Hz and 1kHz. Automatic Pressing the AUTO TIMEBASE key automatically timebase adjusts the sweep time to an appropriate range. adjustment Alternate Even when observing two waveforms in different triggering frequencies, both waveforms can be stably triggered using the alternate triggering mode. ...
