Introduction
Even though a large amount of developments have taken place in electronics, the
Oscilloscope is still a widely used instrument for testing of analog and digital circuits.
The dynamic performances of the circuits like instantaneous values, fast responses
and many other parameters are easily analyzed on Oscilloscope. Full understanding of
the working of Oscilloscope and operation of various controls thus has become very
important in education.
SCIENTECH Oscilloscope Demonstrator-cum-Trainer ST2001E specifically
designed for the study of working of Oscilloscope. It is a user friendly, fully working
Oscilloscope in an open form. The controls are placed actually at the places as they
are in the circuit schematic. And thus trainee can look at it any sections, components
of the section and can study it thoroughly. The function controls are adjustment
controls, fully adjustable to the trainee and to verify their effect on the working of the
scope.
A new concept has been evolved, fault simulation, to train on actual fault-finding, by
simulating faults in the instruments. The faults created in the instrument no way
affects or damage the instrument. The Instructor can introduce faults of his/her choice
from the standard 15 faults and ask trainee/student to probe into it and to find out the
cause of the fault. This way trainee gets complete insight of training of faults in the
electronic circuits.
An illustrated block and circuit schematic and the adjustment plan right in front of
trainee's eye helps him/her to correlate each operation during the demonstration.
We hope our attempt will help the user to understand the working of the Oscilloscope
and shall further help to achieve the best from any Oscilloscope used by them.

Operating and Safety Instructions


General Information :
The Oscilloscope - cum - Demonstrator is easy to operate. The logical arrangement of
the controls allows anyone get familiar with the operation of the instrument in a short
time. However, even experienced users are also advised to read through these
instructions so that all functions are understood. Immediately after unpacking, the
instrument should be checked for mechanical damage and loose parts in the interior. If
there is transport damage, it must be informed immediately. The instrument must then
not be put into operation.
Safety :
The case, chassis and all measuring terminals are connected to the protected earth
contact of the inlet. The mains plug shall only be inserted in a socket outlet provided
with a protective earth contact. The protective action must not be negated by the use
of an extension cord without a protective conductor.
Warning !
Any interruption of the protective conductor inside or outside the instrument or
disconnection of the protective earth terminal is likely to make the instrument
dangerous. Intentional interruption of the protective earth connection is prohibited.
The mains/line plug should be inserted before connections are made to measuring
circuits.
Under certain condition, 50 Hz hum voltage can occur in the measuring circuit due to
interconnection with other mains/line powered equipment or instrument. This can be
avoided by using an isolation transformer between the main/line outlet and power
plug of the instrument. When displaying waveforms where the low level side of the
signal is at high potential, even with the use of a protective isolation transformer, it
should be noted that this potential is connected to the Oscilloscope's case and other
accessible metal parts. High voltages are dangerous. In this case, special safety
precautions are to be taken. Whenever it is likely that protection has been impaired,
the instrument shall be made imperative and be secured against any unintended
operation. The protection is likely to be impaired if, for example, the instrument.
• Shows visible damage.
• Fails to perform the intended measurements,
• Has been subjected to prolonged storage under unfavorable conditions (e.g. in
the open or in moist environments).
• Has been subjected to severe transport stress (e.g. in poor packaging).
Operating Conditions :
The instrument has been designed for indoor use. The permissible ambient
temperature range during operation is 10°C-40°C. The permissible ambient
temperature range for storage or transportation is -20°C to +70°C. The maximum
operating altitude is upto 2200 (non-operating 15000 m). The maximum relative

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 12


ST2001E

humidity is up to 90 %. If condensed water exists in the instrument it should be


acclimatized before switching on. In some cases (e.g. extremely cold Oscilloscope)
two hours should be allowed before the instrument is put into operation The
instrument should be kept in a clean and dry room and must not be operated in
explosive, corrosive, dusty, or moist environments.
First Time Operation :
Check that the instrument is set to the correct mains/line voltage. Before applying
power to the Oscilloscope it is recommended that the following simple procedures are
performed
• Both DC-AC Gnd input coupling slide switches for CH I and CH II in the Y -
field should be set to Gnd position. Open the lid of the scope.
• Check that all push buttons are in the out position, i.e. released.
• Rotate the i.e. Time/Div. variable control, fully counter-clockwise to a position.
• Set all controls with marker lines to their mid range position.
Switch on the Oscilloscope by pressing the red Power push-button. An LED will
illuminate to indicate working order. The trace displaying one base line should be
visible after a short warm up period of 10 seconds. Adjust Y Pos. I and X Pos.
controls to center the baseline. Adjust Intensity and Focus control for medium
brightness and optimum sharpness of the trace. The Oscilloscope is now ready for
use. If only a spot appears (Caution! CRT phosphor can be damaged), reduce the
intensity immediately and check that the X-Y push button is in the released (out)
position. If the trace is not visible check the correct positions of all knobs and
switches (particularly Auto/Norm. button in released position).
To obtain the maximum life from the cathode-ray tube, the minimum intensity setting
necessary for the measurement in hand and the ambient light conditions should be
used. Particular care is required when a single spot is displayed, as a very high
intensity setting may cause damage to the fluorescent screen of the CRT. Switching
the Oscilloscope off and on at short intervals stresses the cathode of CRT and should
therefore be avoided. The instrument is so designed that even the incorrect operation
will not cause serious damage. The push-buttons control only minor functions, and it
is recommended that before commencement of operation all push buttons are in the
"out" position. After this the push buttons can be operated depending upon the mode
of released required.
All knob and switches should again be checked to ensure that the correct positions
have been selected. Moreover, particular attention should be paid to the 'Level'
control. In the absence of an input signal the baseline will only be displayed if this
control is in the fully anti clockwise and locked position 'Auto' (Automatic
triggering). If only a dot appears (Caution! The CRT phosphor could be damaged
under this condition) probably the push button for XY is pressed. If this is so, it
should be released. Now, the base line should appear and the 'Intensity' control should
be adjusted for average brightness, while optimum sharpness is obtained by adjusting
the 'Focus' control. At the same time both input coupling switches 'DC-AC Gnd

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 13


ST2001E

should be in the 'Gnd' position. Thus, the inputs of the Y-amplifiers are shorted
preventing the introduction of unwanted signals.
Trace Rotation (TR) :
In spite of Mu metal-shielding of the CRT, effects of the earth's magnetic field on the
horizontal trace position cannot be completely avoided. This is dependent upon the
orientation of the Oscilloscope on the place of work. A centered trace may not align
exactly with the horizontal centre line of the graticule. A few degree of misalignment
can be corrected by a potentiometer in the trace rotation section.
Type of the Signal Voltage :
All types of signals whose frequency spectrum is below 20 MHz can be displayed on
the ST2001E. The display of simple electrical processes such as sinusoidal RF and
AF signal or 50Hz ripple voltages poses no problems. However, when square or pulse
shaped signals are displayed it must be remembered that their harmonic content must
also be transmitted. The bandwidth of the vertical amplifier must therefore, be
considerably higher than the repetition frequency of the signal. Greater problems
occur when composite signals are to be displayed, especially if they do not contain
any suitable level components at the repetition frequency which can be used for
triggering. To obtain a well triggered display in this case, it may be necessary to use
the time base 'Var' control. Television video signals are relatively easy to trigger.
However, when investigating signals at Name frequency, the 'TV' pushbutton must be
in this way, the more rapid line pulses can be attenuated so that, with appropriate level
adjustment, triggering can easily be carried out on the leading or trailing edge of the
frame synchronizing pulse.
For optional operation as an AC or DC voltage amplifier, each channel is provided
with an 'AC-DC' switch. The DC range should only be used if the acquisition of the
DC voltage content of the signal is absolutely necessary. However, when
investigating very low frequency pulses, disturbing ramp offset may occur with AC
coupling. In this case DC coupling must be used. DC voltages are always measured in
the 'DC' position. DC operation is to be recommended even for the representation of
logic and pulse signals, particularly if the duty cycle permanently changes during
operation. Otherwise, the display will move up and down with any change.
Amplitude Measurements :
In general electrical engineering, alternating voltage data normally refers to effective
values (rms = root-mean-square value). However, for signal magnitudes and voltage
designations in Oscilloscope measurements, the peak-to-peak voltage (Vpp) value is
applied. The latter corresponds to the real potential difference between the most
positive and most negative points of a signal waveform.
If a sinusoidal waveform, displayed on the Oscilloscope screen, is to be converted
into an effective (rms) value, the resulting peak-to-peak value must be divided by 2 x
√2 = 2.83. Conversely, it should be observed that sinusoidal voltages indicated in
Vrms (Veff) have 2.83 times the potential. Different voltage magnitudes can be seen
from the following figure 1.

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 14


ST2001E

Figure 1
Vrms = effective value
Vp = simple peak or crest value
Vpp = peak-to-peak value
Vmom = momentary value.
The maximum signal voltage required at the vertical amplifier input for a display of 1
cm is approximately 5mVpp. This is achieved with the attenuator control set at
5mV/cm, however smaller signals than this may also be displayed. The deflection
coefficients on the input attenuators are indicated in mV/cm or V/cm (peak-to-peak
value).
The magnitude of the applied voltage is ascertained by multiplying the selected
deflection coefficient by the vertical display height in cm. If an attenuator probe X10
is used, a further multiplication by a factor of 10 is required to ascertain the correct
voltage value.
With direct connection to the vertical input, signals upto 160 Vpp may be displayed.
With the designations:
H = display height in cm
U = signal voltage in Vpp at the vertical input.
D = deflection coefficient in V/cm at attenuator switch,
The required quantity can be calculated from the two given quantities:
U=D.H. H=U/D D=U/H
However, these three values are not freely selectable. They have to be within the
following limits (trigger threshold, accuracy of reading).
H between 0.5 and 8 cm. if possible 3.2 to 8 cm.
U between 2.5 mVpp and 160 Vpp,
D between 5mV/cm and 20V/cm in 1-2-5 sequence.
Examples :
Set deflection coefficient D = 50 mV /cm = 0.05 V /cm,
Observed display height H = 4.6 cm.
Required voltage U = 0.05 x 4.6 = 0.23 Vpp
Input voltage U = 5 Vpp
Set deflection coefficient D = 1 V /cm
Required display height H = 5/1 = 5 cm

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 15


ST2001E

If the applied signal is superimposed on a DC (direct voltage) level the total value
(DC + peak value of the alternating voltage) of the signal across the Y-input must not
exceed + 350 V.
Reference Line :
With Y-Pos control (input coupling to Gnd) it is possible to see a horizontal graticule
line as reference line for ground potential before the measurement. It can lie below or
above the horizontal central line according to whether positive and/or negative
deviations from the ground potential are to be measured. Certain switchable X10 / X1
attenuator probes also have a built-in-ground reference switch position.
Time Measurements :
As a rule, most signals to be displayed are periodically repeating processes, also
called periods. The number of periods per second is the repetition frequency
Depending on the time base setting of the Time/Div. switch, one or several signal
periods or only a part of a period can be displayed. The time coefficients are stated in
s/cm, ms/cm and µs/cm on three fields. There are 18 time coefficient ranges of the
ST2001E, from 0.5s/cm to 0.2s/cm.
The duration of a signal period or a part of it is determined by multiplying the relevant
time (horizontal distance in cm) by the time coefficient set on the Time/Div. switch.
The variable time control (identified with an arrow knob cap) must be in its calibrated
position Cal. (arrow pointing horizontally to the left).
With the designations
L = displayed wave length in cm of one period.
T = time in seconds for one period
F = recurrence frequency in Hz of the signals,
Tc = time coefficient in s/cm on time base switch and the relation
F = 1/T,
The following equations can be stated:
T = Tc x L, L = T/Tc Tc = T/L
F = 1/L.Tc L = 1/F.Tc Tc = 1/L.F.
With pressed X-MAG. X5 pushbutton the Tc value must be divided by 5. However,
these four values are not freely selectable. They have to be within the following
limits:
L between 0.2 and 10 cm, if possible 4 to 10 cm,
T between 0.05s and 2s,
F between 0.5 Hz and 20 MHz,
Tc between 0.5 s/cm and 0.2 s/cm in 1-2-5 sequence (with XMAG X5 in out position)

Examples :
1. Displayed wavelength L = 7 cm,
Set time coefficient Tc = 0.5µs/cm.
Required period T = 7 x 0.5 x 10 -6 = 3.5µs
Required Freq. F = 1: (3.5 x 10 -6) = 286 KHz
2. Displayed ripple wavelength L = 1 cm,
Set time coefficient Tc = 10 ms/cm,
Required ripple freq. F = 1: (1 x 10 x 10-3) = 100 Hz.
3. TV-line frequency F = 15,625 Hz
Set time coefficient Tc = 10µs/cm
Required wavelength L = 1: (15625 x 10-5) = 6.4 cm.
4. Sine wavelength L = min. 4 cm, max. 10 cm,
Frequency F = 1 KHz.
Max. Time coefficient Tc = 1: (4 x 103) = 0.25 ms/cm,
Min. Time coefficient Tc = 1: (10x 103) = 0.1 ms/cm.
Set Time coefficient T = 0.2 ms/cm,
Required wavelength L = 1: (10 x 0.2 x 10-3) = 5 cm.
5. Displayed wavelength L = 0.8 cm.
Set time coefficient T = 0.5 µs/cm.
Pressed X-Mag X5 button: T = 0.1µs/cm,
Required. Frequency F = 1: (0.8 x 0.1 x 10 -6) = 12.5 MHz
Required period t = 1: (12.5 x 106) = 80 ns.
If the time is relatively short as compared to the complete signal period, an expanded
time scale should always be applied (X-Mag X5 button pressed). In this case, the
ascertained time values have to be divided by 5. The time interval of interest can be
shifted to the screen center using the X-Pos. control.
When investigating pulse of square waveforms, the critical feature is the rise time of
the voltage step. To ensure that transients, ramp offset, and bandwidth limits do not
unduly influence the measuring accuracy, the rise time is generally measured between
10% and 90% of the vertical pulse height. For peak-to-peak signal amplitude of 5 cm
height, which are symmetrically adjusted to the horizontal center line, the internal
graticule of the CRT has two horizontal dotted lines ± 2.5 cm from the center line.
Adjust the Y attenuator switch together with the Y Pos. Control so that the pulse
height is precisely aligned with these 0 and 100% lines. The 10% and 90% points of
the signal will now coincide with the two lines, which have a distance of ± 2 cm from
the horizontal center line and an additional subdivision of 0.2 cm. The rise time is

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 17


ST2001E

given by the product of the horizontal distance in cm between these two coincidence
points and the time coefficient setting. If magnification is used, this product must be
divided by 5. The fall time of a pulse can also be measured by using this method.
With a time coefficient of 0.5µs/cm and pushed X-Mag X5 button the example shown
in the figure No.2 results in a measured total rise time of
Ttot = 1.6 cm x 0.5µs/cm : 5 = 160ns

When very fast rise time is being measured, the rise time of the Oscilloscope
amplifier and of the attenuator probe has to be deducted from the measured time
value. The measurement applies.
tr = 350 / B or B = 350 / tr
Connection of the Test Signal :
Caution !
When connecting unknown signals to the Oscilloscope input, always use automatic
Triggering and set the DC-AC input coupling switch to AC. The attenuator switch
should initially be set to 20 V/cm.
The signal to be displayed should be fed to the Y input of the Oscilloscope by means
of a shielded test cable or by an X10 attenuator probe. The use of these cables with
high impedance circuits is only recommended for relatively low frequencies (upto
approximately 50 KHz). For higher frequencies and when the signal source is of low
impedance, a cable of matched characteristic impedance (usually 50 Ω) is
recommended. When investigating square or pulse waveforms with fast rise time,
transient phenomenon on both the edges and top of the signal may become visible, if
the correct termination is not used. It must be remembered that the 50 Ω through-
termination will dissipate a maximum of 2 watts. If an X10 attenuator probe is used,
no termination is necessary. In this case, the connecting cable is matched directly to
the high impedance input of the Oscilloscope. With attenuator probe, even high-
internal impedance sources are only slightly loaded. Therefore, when the voltage loss
due to the attenuation of the probe can be compensated by a higher sensitivity setting
on the ST2001E, the probe should always be used.
Additionally, it provides the series protection for the input of the Oscilloscope
amplifier. Note that all attenuator probes must be compensated in conjunction with
the Oscilloscope.

ST2001E

It is important to remember that for the display of small signal voltages the position of
the ground point on the test circuit can be critical. It should always be located as
close as possible to the measuring point. If this is not done serious signal deformation
may result from any invalidated currents through ground leads or chassis parts. This
also applies to the ground leads of the attenuator probes. These should ideally be as
short and thick as possible.
If after connecting the test signal, the trace disappears suddenly, the signal amplitude
may well be too large, i.e. the amplifier is over scanned. In this case, the attenuator
switch should be turned anti-clockwise, until the vertical deflection is only 3-7 cm.
For signal amplitudes greater than 160Vpp a X10 probe should always be used. If
after connecting the signal the intensity of the trace is low, it is possible that the
period of the test signal is substantially slower than the value set of the 'Timebase'
switch. This control should then be turned anti-clockwise to a corresponding slower
time coefficient.
Probe Compensation :
For the undistorted display of signals, the X10 attenuator probe must be compensated
to match the input impedance of the vertical amplifier. This can be easily achieved as
ST2001E has a built-in Square Wave Generator with a repetition frequency of
approximately 1 KHz and an output voltage of 0.2Vpp. The method employed is as
follows : The probe tips are connected to the test-point TP40 marked with a cal Out,
and adjusted by using the trimmer tool supplied with the probe. The correct display is
shown in figure 3.

Figure 3
The 'Timebase' switch should be in the '0.2 ms/cm' position. The signal has amplitude
of 0.2Vpp ± 1 %. If the attenuator switch is set to 50 m V /cm, the display will have a
height of 4cms (1:1 probe). Since an attenuator probe is constantly subjected to
considerable stresses, the compensation should be frequently checked.
Operating Modes :
The required operating modes are selected with push buttons in the vertical amplifier
section. For 'Mono' operation with channel I only, all push buttons should be out. For
'Mono' operation with channel 2, only, the 'Alt/Chop' button must be pressed. For
internal triggering with the signal from channel 2, the Trig 1/2 button has to be
pressed in addition. On pressing the button marked 'Mono/Dual', dual trace operation
is selected. In this condition both traces are displayed consecutively (alternate sweep).
This mode is not suitable for the display of very low frequency signals as the display

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 19


ST2001E

will flicker or appear to jump. This can be overcome by pressing the 'Alt/Chop'
button. Both channels then share the trace during each sweep period (chopped mode).
For display with a higher repetition rate, the type of channel switching is less
important but the alternate mode is normally suggested.
For XY operation the XY button must be pressed. The X signal is connected via the
input of channel 2. The sensitivity of the horizontal amplifier during X-Y operation is
selected by the CH II attenuator switch. The sensitivity and input impedance for both
the X & Y axes are equal. Note that the frequency limit of the X axis is approximately
2 MHz (-3 dB). Therefore, an increase in phase difference is noticeable at higher
frequencies. The phase shift is 3° approximately at 60 KHz.
Lissajous figures can be displayed in the X- Y mode for certain measuring tasks.
• Comparing two signals of different frequency or bringing one frequency upto
the frequency of the other signal. This also applies for whole number multiples
or fractions of the one signal frequency.
• Phase comparison between two signals of the same frequency.
Phase Comparison with Lissajous figure :
The figure 4 shows two sine signals of the same frequency and amplitude with
different phase angles.
Calculation of the phase angle or the phase shift between the X and Y input voltages
(after measuring the distances a and b on the screen) is quite simple with the
following formula and a pocket calculator with trigonometric functions and besides
independent of both deflecting amplitudes on the screen.

ST2001E

The following must be noted here :


• Because of the periodic nature of the trigonometric functions, the calculation
should be limited to angles 90°. However here is the advantage of the method.
• Do not use a too high test frequency. The phase shift of the two Oscilloscope
amplifiers of the ST2001E in the X-Y mode can exceed an angle 3° above 100
KHz.
• It cannot be seen as a matter of course from the screen display if the test voltage
leads or lags the reference voltage. ACR network before the test voltage input of
the Oscilloscope can help here. The 1MΩ Input resistance can equally serves as
R here, so that only a suitable capacitor C needs to be connected in series. If the
aperture width of the ellipse is increased (compared with C short-circuited), then
the test voltage leads the reference voltage and vice versa. This applies only in
the region up to 90° phase shift therefore C should be sufficiently large and
produce only a relatively small just observable phase shift.
Should both input voltage be missing or fall in the X-Y mode, a very bright light dot is
displayed on the screen. This dot can burn into the phosphor at a too high brightness
setting (Intensity. knob) which causes either a lasting loss of brightness, or in the
extreme case, complete destruction of the phosphor at this point.
Trigger And Time Base :
Time base operation is particularly important in obtaining a satisfactory stable
display. If the 'Auto' pushbutton is not pressed the sweep generator will be triggered
automatically. The time axis (baseline) is then also visible without applying a signal
voltage. In this position practically all uncomplicated, periodically recurring signals
above 30 Hz repetition frequency can be displayed in a stable locked in position.
Operation of the time base is then restricted mainly to adjusting the time setting.
To obtain a stable display at all frequencies the time base must be triggered
synchronously with the applied signal. Triggering can be initiated by this signal itself
or by a different externally fed-in voltage, which must also be in synchronism. For
this purpose, press the 'External.’ button. The trigger signal (at least 1Vpp) is applied
to the socket marked 'Trigger Input. On single channel operation a trigger signal may
also be applied to the input of channel 2 (in this case trigger selector button ' Trig 1/2'
must be pressed). This method is recommended if the amplitude of the trigger signal
does not fall in the range 1 to 6Vpp, or if it is unknown value. Using this method the
signal can be adapted to the trigger input of the time base within a range of 5mVpp to
approximately 160Vpp by means of the CH II attenuator switch. Initially the
unknown external trigger signal should be displayed and then adjusted to a peak-to-
peak amplitude of 3-6 cm. The trigger signal can be taken either from CH I or 2.
Selection is made by means of the button marked ' Trig 1/2 in trigger Amp circuit. If
possible, it is always better to trigger with the less complicated signal. To select the
trigger edge, use the '+/-'button. When it is not pressed, all displays start with a
positive-going rise.

ST2001E

As already described, simple signals may be triggered automatically, i.e. without


pressing 'Auto/Norm' switch. However, if the pulse duty factor of a square signal
changes drastically, and a part of this square-wave deforms to a needle pulse, the
operation of the 'Level' control may become necessary, after pressing ''Auto/Norm''
switch. With composite signals the trigger facility is dependent on the occurrence of
certain periodically recurring levels. The 'Level' adjustment of these signals will
require care. If, for example, the complex video signal of a television set is to be
displayed at frame frequency, synchronization is generally difficult due to the faster
sequence of the line pulses contained in the signal. For attenuation of the line pulse,
the 'TV' button must be pressed. This setting is also advantageous for triggering other
signals below a repetition frequency of 1KHz as high frequency harmonics or noise in
the trigger signal are suppressed by the presence of the low pass filter.
If no triggering point can be found on complex signals even after repeated and careful
adjustment of the 'Level' control it may be possible to obtain one by adjusting the
'Var' control. Sometimes it can also be advantageous to use only the 'Var' control.
All coefficient settings on the "Timebase" switch are calibrated when the 'Var' control
is set at the 'Cal' position. With 'Var' control in the anti-clockwise position the sweep
rate is made faster by a factor of 2.5. This factor is not precisely calibrated. With the
X5 expansion of the sweep a maximum sweep of approximately 40 ns/cm is obtained.
The choice of the optimum time coefficient depends on the repetition rate of the
signal being measured.
Component Tester :
General :
Oscilloscope demonstrator ST2001E comes with an additional facility, a built-in
Component Tester. This allows passive and active components like resistors,
capacitors, inductors transformer, silicon/germanium diodes, zener, tunnel diode,
Schottky diodes, transistors, JFETs, MOSFETs, UJTs, SCRs, TRIACs, and even
linear and digital ICs to be tested while still in circuit. Using the ST2001E
Component Tester is very simple. Just push in the CT switch, plug in two test sockets
marked CT-Input. A horizontal line about 5 to 6 cms will be seen. On shorting the two
test prod tips a vertical line is seen. Connect the component under test across the
prods. Some typical test patterns are shown on the following page figure 5.
Only remember to keep the scope in the CH I operating mode and Ground the input of
CH I. After use, to return the Oscilloscope to normal operation, release the CT push
button.

Theory of Operation
General Description :
The basic objective of an Oscilloscope is to read an unknown signal & display it on
the screen for observation and measurements.
These signals are applied on the input of either channel or simultaneously on both
channel inputs. The input attenuator then attenuates the signal with appropriate
attenuation and displays on the screen. The selection of input may be AC component
of DC + AC components. The disconnection of signal from source is to be done with
input switch to Gnd position.
The output signal of attenuator is then applied to preamplifier stage, where a high
input, high gain bandwidth FET input is applied. Here, signal is isolated from input,
applied to preamplifier for further amplification and converting the input to two line
outputs.
In Y intermediate amplifier, two channels are selected, either CH I or Chin or both in
alternate or chop mode. This is done with the help of diodes switching amplifier.
The selected output form Y intermediate amplifier is applied for Y final amplifier.
This circuit amplifies sufficient output signal level necessary to drive the Y plates of
CRT, for appropriate deflection of electron beam. The Y amplifier is designed in such
a way so that it gives good extended Guassian roll-off with minimum noise level.

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 25


ST2001E

The time base circuits adjust the sweep / ramp signal so that Y input signal can be
resolved in time direction / X direction for measurement of waveform or a portion of
waveform. This is a calibrated ramp and hence time measurements are made with the
help of this circuit.
The signal applied is to be synchronized with sweep output. This is known as
triggering of signal. In auto mode as and when signal is applied to the input of scope,
it gets triggered/synchronized with ramp at almost at zero crossing of signal.
Whenever, a trigger level is to be adjusted, a level control is used to set the desired
trigger level. While triggering, one can select the different available coupling like AC,
DC internal, external, CH I or CH II.
AC trigger is used over a wide range of signals from 10 Hz to 20 MHz. While
triggering, low frequency signals like few Hertz, the trigger point may shift. For stable
DC trigger coupling is used. It works from DC to 20 MHz signals.
A TV sync circuit is provided for stable triggering on television vertical sync pulses.
This can select H and V frame as required.
The ramp output , synchronized with input signal is given at preamplifier input, where
X position on the screen is given at preamplifier input, where X position on screen
can be adjusted as X-Pos and in the circuit X1-X5 magnification is provided.
The preamplifier output is then applied to X final amplifier for appropriate
magnification, to be applied to X plates of the CRT.
In the X-Y mode of operation, the X input signal is applied on CH II and Y input
signal to CH I. The X signal applied on CH II is passes through attenuator
preamplifier, CH II trigger selector, trigger amplifier and then to X plate via X final
amplifier.
In the CRT circuit, a negative potential is applied at Cathode to accelerate the electron
beam. The astigmatism, an unblanking circuit along with Z modulation, intensity,
focus control etc. are been arranged in the circuit.
The power supply circuit provides the necessary operating voltages for the instrument.
The operating potentials are obtained from the voltage regulator circuit and HV power
supplies.
In calibrator circuit, a probe compensation output is provided for compensating X10,
X100 and other attenuator or probes, to adjust with input capacitance of Oscilloscope
input. The potential is 0.2 V square waves 1 KHz approximately.

Detailed Circuit Description


Note :
Please refer to the circuit diagram given at the back of the manual when reading the
circuit description.
Vertical Attenuators :
The input signal once passed through input coupling (identical for each channel) is
appearing at wafer of attenuator rotary switch. Here input is divided in 1:1 or 10:1 or
1000:1, depending upon the switch position. The pre-attenuated signal is again
attenuated to 1:1 or 2:1 or 4:1 depending upon attenuation position for required
sensitivity.
These attenuators are designed in such a way that the input signals see constant 1M
Ω║25pF impedance. While in testing this circuit has a minor adjustment of
capacitance of different arms of attenuator circuit. The attenuation capacitance is
adjusted for exact division of signal. (Discussed the same in the, calibration
procedure).
Since this attenuator circuit is quite sensitive to noise, that's why; this is packed in
shield made of tin sheet. The CH II attenuator is exactly identical to CH I.
Y Attenuator Preamplifier :
The attenuated signal is applied at input gate of, matched, made on the same substrate
FET. The output of this is applied at pin no. 14 of IC NE592, video amplifier. At pin
no.1 the DC balance voltage is applied, so that output (dual) at pin no. 7 and 8 have
equal DC voltages.
The gain of IC is adjusted with the help of the resistor R122 such that the output of
pin no. 7 and 8 will be 45mV/Div on the screen.
Y Intermediate Amplifier :
There are two identical intermediate amplifiers are used, as shown below. In each
amplifier, matched transistors are used. The gain adjustment is done with the help of
VR 203, VR 204 for CH I, Chin in their respective amplifier. This also set the final
gain of Y amplifier. (See adjustment procedure).
Channel Selection, Dual Alternate and Chopped :
Channel I Selection :
The CH I is selected when CH I / CH II, Trig 1 / Trig 2 switch is out position. In this
case the potential is applied on S/R input of D flip-flop IC 4013. This gives Q output
at 13 to low, so that transistor T251 doesn't 'On' and hence diode D202 and D203 are
reverse biased, and diode D204 and D201 conducts and hence selects CH I . While Q
is low Q is high and transistor T252 conducts, causes diode D206 & D207 to forward
bias and thus stopping conduction through D205 and D208.

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 27


ST2001E

Channel 2 Selection :
In this case when CH I / CH II switch pressed, it causes Q to be high and Q to be low,
and similar action will be take place, as discussed above , diode D201 and D204
doesn't conduct and D208 and D205 conducts, hence CH II is selected.
Dual CH I and CH II, Alternate :
When dual channel to be selected, by pressing Dual push button, irrespective of CH I
/ CH II position. When pressed dual switch S252, diode D251 and D252, gets -12V
through switch S252 and the circuit appearing on base of T254 is transformed to D
input pin no. 11 of IC 4013 flip-flop. This causes Q and Q to switch to '1' and ‘0’, i.e.
toggle, and thus CH I and CH II is selected alternatively.
Dual Channel Chopped :
The other flip-flop in IC 4013 is used for making chopper generator. This is nothing
but an astable multi-vibrator whose output is at approximately 500 KHz. When switch
8251 and 8252, dual and chop is pressed, transistor T153 gets -12V through R268 and
thus chopped circuit functions. The chopper output is applied on D input of other flip-
flop and CH I and CH II are now chopped while alternating the sweep.
Y Final Amplifier :
The pre-amplified signal emerging out of Y intermediate amplifier is fed to Y final
amplifier input buffer transistor T551 and T552.
The final amplifier transistors are BF 458 (selected for HFE) matched on curve tracer.
This transistor converts the emitter current signal to proportional output voltages,
which in turn fed to CRT plates, which deflects electron beam accordingly. The
inductor L551 and L552 are provided to filter out RF signal going to power supply.
The RC circuit formed by C553 + R569, R570 + C 554 and VR 552 + VC 551 does,
high frequency compensation. (See adjustment procedure).
Sweep Generator (Time Base or Ramp Generator) :
The circuit produces a linear voltage ramp to provide horizontal deflection of CRT
beam at X plates. The sweep generators also produce signals that are used to generate
correct timing of CRT unblanking for viewing the signal display. The sweep logic
circuitry controls the hold-off. Time (natural hold-off time), starts the sweep upon
reception of trigger signal and terminates the sweep at proper voltage level, or
discharges the timing capacitors. Even, with no signal connected to input, it will keep
the sweep to run freely.
The basics of this type of highly calibrated sweep lies with a Miller theory, which
produces a linear voltage sweep that drives horizontal amplifier. It produces sweep by
maintaining a constant current through a timing capacitor, to obtain a linearity
increasing voltage.
The time base circuit, has hold-off circuit for natural hold-off required by sweep
generation, constant current source, timing capacitors; discharges circuit and sweep
logic circuit.
The hold-off, constant current source and timing capacitors are circuit changing
component, with respect to time base switch position. These three circuits are build on

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 28


ST2001E

an around the time base rotary switch. The contact wafer S405 W1 has hold-off
charging capacitors, S405 W2 has constant current source resistors and S405 W3 has
timing capacitors.
Transistors T405 and T406, along with selected resistors from R431, R432, R436
from a constant current source. This current charges a timing capacitor depending
upon time base speed setting position. The timing capacitors are C417, VC401, C418
and C419. The charging of these capacitors is a linear voltage increase. This voltage is
sensed by transistor T405, and is being pre-amplified and the output is available at
XY switch S351.
The sweep is charged upto 5 Vpp, to discharge the capacitors, once it is reached
5Vpp, is done by sweep logic circuit.
To do this, the rising sweep is sensed by transistor T403 along with associated circuit.
When the sweep output reaches, T403 gives a pulse at pin 10 preset point of flip-flop
IC402
Since discharging of capacitor is done through transistor namely T404, it requires, a
little bit time, so that complete discharge of timing capacitor occurs. This timing is
known as hold-off time and it is being generated by R429 mounted on S405 W1
wafer. This current charges one on the hold-off capacitors C414 or C415. The sensing
of this charging time is conveyed to clear point of flip-flop IC 402, after desired
voltage height, the hold-off voltages get discharged through transistor T404 through
D405 and D420, at the same time appears on clear. When the two pulses namely-
preset and clear pulse reaches to the flip-flop, changes Q and Q accordingly. This flip-
flop is known as hold-off flip-flop.
There is another flip-flop is used, named as sweep flip-flop IC 402a. Here, preset state
is derived from At/Level function. When, in auto mode, the preset point is kept on by
transistor T40 I and the clear pulse derived from Q output of hold-off flip-flop. Since
pin no. 2 is tied to a high state, through +Vcc and hence if any trigger pulse available
then a synchronous output Q and Q are developed on sweep flip-flop. Otherwise a
free run Q and Q appears. Thus, triggering is said to be in function.
The output of sweep flip-flop is given to discharge transistor T404, thus in turn
discharges. This discharge pulse is hold for certain time, i.e. hold-off time of circuit.
The Q output of sweep flip-flop serves two purposes; it is used for unblanking the
CRT and also for dual alternate operation.
X Final Amplifier :
The horizontal output amplifier provides amplification of the horizontal signal to
drive the horizontal CRT deflection plates.
The signal coming to X-Final amplifier may be external X signal in XY mode or
sweep output of time base circuit or component tester horizontal output. The input
signal (sweep or else) to transistor base of T502 while the X position control is done
on T501 transistor. This output is then reaches to final amplifier transistor T503,
where the amplified signal is proportionally converted to deflection voltages, which
drives X plates.

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 29


ST2001E

Trigger Amplifier and Switching :


The trigger circuit is as shown below. The trigger signal is picked up from the
attenuator preamplifier circuit output. This is similar to selection of Y input signal to
Y intermediate amplifier. Here for selection of trigger signal, also use a trigger
intermediate amplifier. The switching of trigger 1 and 2 selects the output of this
circuit. This is similar to channel selection in Y amplification.
This is achieved with the help of T317 and T320. The output is then fed to Int/Ext
trigger selection switch S401. If internal triggering is chosen, the trigger preamplifier
output is used for triggering; otherwise an external source can be used.
The different trigger coupling can be used before the signal is fed through comparator
IC401 input. The slope of the trigger can be changed to either positive or negative
edge. Switch S402 selects the stable trigger of television signal.
For good triggering, a threshold of trigger input is adjustable through preset VR401,
which gives 5 mm internal triggering level. The pulse train, in synchronous to signal
input and whose width is adjusted accordingly for level triggering.
The output of this comparator is then fed to sweep flip-flop in time base circuit for
stable synchronization of time base to signals.
CRT Circuit & Unblanking :
In CRT, for heating of filament in electron gun, 6.3V AC derived from mains
transformer. The -1900 V EHT potential is connected to one of the filament terminal.
A 100 V Zener diode is used too. This difference in potential is used for controlling
the intensity of electron beam. The intensity potential is varied at G1, as required,
with the help of P902. Intensity potentiometer control on EHT circuit. The upper
lower cut-off potential is adjusted with the help of presets VR 901 and VR902.
The focus potential, applied on grid G3, is derived from potential adjustment of P901.
For viewing the signal, the CRT is required to be unblanked. To do so unblanking
pulse is taken from sweep flip-flop pin 5, to the base of transistor T954. The output of
this transistor is fed to a opto coupler IC 951, which transmits the pulses to base of
transistor in opto coupler, so that isolation is come into picture between high and low
potential. The output of opto coupler is fed to unblanking transistor T952, which in
turn is applied to CRT cathode for unblanking. The potential of the unblanking pulse
is 33V on DC-1900V. The 33 V supply is made available with zener diode D956. The
transistor T95l serves as active load for unblanking transistor T952

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 30


ST2001E

CRT Circuit :
The high frequency unblanking pulse reaches to T952 directly from coupling
capacitors C953, C954 and C955. This gives almost same response from very low
time base speed to highest speed.
Z modulation input (TTL level) is applied to the base of T953, which is also mixed
with main unblanking pulse at emitter of T954. The astigmatism is adjusted with
VR851, applied on grid G2 and G4 of CRT. The geometry voltage is adjusted with
VR852, applied on grid G5 of CRT.
Component Tester :
The Component Tester circuit functions for test of active and passive components.
Basically, this circuit functions like lissajous figures in XY mode.
For, this purpose, 10V AC input is taken from mains power transformer. The X input
is voltage scale and Y input is current scale. The X output is applied through R1 0 to
X final amplifier. The potential is approximately 8.6Vrms, which appears at CT
terminal open circuit. When a component active or passive is connected to CT
terminal a load current flows through component, which develops a potential signal
proportional to current through component under test. The potential signal is then fed
to Y preamplifier via preamp FET 101.
The voltage v/s current characteristic is drawn on CRT screen. The samples of
patterns are enclosed earlier in figure 5.
Calibrator Output :
The calibrator output is mainly used for compensating the probe capacitance to that of
Oscilloscope. Here, four Nand gates from IC701 are used to make astable multi-
vibrator. The output of multi-vibrator is then adjusted for required output of 0.2 V
with the help of VR 701 The astable frequency is approximately 1 KHz.
Power Supply :
The electrical power required by different circuits is being made available thru power
supply circuit, which draws power from mains through power transformer. Primarily,
the different voltages needed by circuits are as follows:
1. -1900 V
2. +260 V
3. +145 V
4. 33 V
5. +24 V
6. 12 V
7. +12 V
8. +5 V
9. 6.3 V
10. 10 VAC

1. -1900 Volts P.S.


This is a series regulator. A 480V AC input is made to approximately 2400-
2500V, by using two double connected in series as shown in circuit. The output
voltage is sensed by R908 and other resistors to pin no. 3 of op-amp IC 901,
which in turn regulate the base current of transistor bank T901, T902 and T903
which drops the excess voltage across them. Thus, -1900 V is regulated.

Service Instructions
General :
The following instructions are intended as an aid for the electronic technician, who is
carrying out readjustment on the ST2001E, if the nominal values do not meet the
specifications. These instructions primarily refer to those faults, which were found
after using the test instructions. However, this work should only be carried out by
properly qualified personnel.
For any further technical information call or write to Scientech Technologies Pvt.
Ltd., addresses are provided at the back of the manual. It is recommended to use only
the original packing material, should the instrument be shipped to us for service or
repair (see also warranty and dispatch procedure).
Instrument Case Removal :
The bottom cover can be taken off after unplugging the power cord's triple-connector
and after eight counters sunk screws and two bottom screws have been removed.
Caution !
During opening or closing of the bottom case, the instrument must be disconnected
from all power sources for maintenance work or a change of parts or components. If
a measurement, trouble-shooting or an adjustment is unavoidable, this work must be
done by a specialist, who is familiar with the risk involved.
When the instrument is set into operation after the case has been removed, attention
must be paid to the acceleration voltage for the CRT-2000 V and to the operating
voltages for both final amplifier stages -145 and 260V. Potentials of these voltages are

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 41


ST2001E

on the CRT socket and on the main board. Such potentials are moreover on the check
points. They are highly dangerous and therefore precautions must be taken. It should
be noted furthermore that short occurring on different points of the CRT high voltage
and unblanking circuitry will definitely damage some semiconductors and the opto-
coupler. For the same reason it is very risky to connect capacitors to these points
while the instrument is on.
Capacitors in the instrument may still be charged, even when the instrument is
disconnected from all voltage sources. Normally, the capacitors are discharged 6
seconds after switching off. However, with a defective instrument an interruption of
the load is not impossible. Therefore, after switching off, it is recommended to
connect one by one all terminals of the check points on the PCB across 1KOhm to
ground (chassis) for a period of 1 second.
Handling of the CRT needs utmost caution. The glass bulb must not be allowed-under
any circumstances to come into contact with hardened tools, nor should it undergo
local superheating (e.g. by soldering iron) or local under cooling (e.g. by cryogenic-
spray). We recommend the wearing of safety goggles (implosion danger).
Operating Voltages :
Besides the two AC voltages for the CRT heating (6.3 V) and component Tester
(12V) there are ten electronically regulated DC operating voltages generated (+12 V,
+24 V, +5V,-12 V,+260 V,+145 V and 33 V for the unblanking circuit). These
different operating voltages are fixed voltages, except the +145 V which can be
adjusted.-1900 Volts is dependent on the accuracy of +12 V and -12 V supply (and
also from some resistors with close tolerances). 33 V in the unblanking circuit is
stabilized with Z-diode. The variation of the fixed voltages greater than ±5% from the
nominal value indicates a fault. Except 33 V, +145 V, and -1900 V, the other DC
Voltages have no more than ± 2% variation on the average. These voltages are
measured on the checkpoint with reference to ground. Measurements of the high
voltage may only be accomplished by the use of a sufficiently high resistive voltmeter
(>10M Ω). You must make absolutely sure that the electric strength of the voltmeter
is sufficiently high. The 33 V for the unblinking circuit can be measured as the
difference between two high voltages with reference to ground. It is recommended to
check the ripple and also the interaction from other possible sources. Excessive values
might be very often the reason for incomprehensible faults.
Maximum and Minimum Brightness :
Two variable resistors of 500 K Ω each, located on the EHT socket are used for these
adjustment procedures (see Adjusting Plan). They may only be touched by a properly
insulating screwdriver (Caution! High voltage). The adjustments may possibly have
to be repeated, because the functions of both variable resistors are dependent on each
other. Correct adjustment is achieved, when the trace can be blanked while X-Y
pushbutton is pressed and in addition, when the requirement described in the Test
Instructions are met.

Scientech Technologies Pvt. Ltd. 42


ST2001E

Astigmatism control :
The ratio of vertical and horizontal sharpness can be adjusted by the variable resistor
of 50K Ohm located on the Astig circuit section (see Adjusting Plan). As a precaution
however, the voltage for the vertical deflecting plates (approximately +100V) should
firstly be checked because this voltage will affect the astigmatism correction. The
correction should be repeated several times in this sequence. The adjustment is
finished, when the Focus knob excessively brings no improvement of the sharpness in
both directions.
Trigger Threshold :
The internal trigger threshold should be in the range of 5 to 6 mm display height. It is
strongly dependent on the 529 CN comparator IC If there are compelling reasons to
replace this comparator, it may be that triggering becomes too sensitive or too
insensitive caused by the IC gain tolerances (please refer calibration procedure).
Trouble-shooting the Instrument :
For this job at least an isolating variable mains-line transformer (protection class II), a
signal generator, an adequate precise multi meter, and if possible Oscilloscope are
needed. This last item is required for complex faults, which can be traced by the
display of signal or ripple voltages. As noted before, the regulated high voltage and
the supply voltage for the final stages are highly dangerous. Therefore it is
recommended to use totally insulated extended probe tips, when trouble shooting the
instrument. Accidental contact with dangerous voltage potentials is then unlikely. Of
course, these instructions cannot thoroughly cover all kinds of faults. Some common
sense will certainly be required, when a complex fault has to be investigated.
If trouble is suspected, visually inspect the instrument thoroughly after removal of the
case. Look for loose or badly contacted or discolored components (caused by
overheating). Check to see that all circuit board connection are making good contact
and are not shorting to an adjacent circuit. Especially inspect the connections of the
power transformer to main PCB, to CRT socket, and to trace rotation coil (inside of
CRTs shielding). Further more the soldering connections of the transistors and fixed
three terminal regulators respectively on the rear chassis. This visual inspection can
lead to success much more quickly than a systematic fault location using measuring
instruments. Prior to any extensive troubleshooting, also check the external power
source.
If the instrument fails completely, the first and most important step-after checking the
mains/line voltage and power fuse will be to measure and deflecting plate voltages of
the CRT.
While the measurement takes place, the position controls of both deflection devices
must be in mid position. When the deflection devices are operating properly, the
separate voltage of each plate pair are almost equal. If the separate voltages of a plate
pair are very different, the associated circuit must be faulty. An absent trace in spite of
correct plate voltages means a fault in the CRT circuit. Missing deflection plate
voltages is probably caused by a defect in the power supply.

Replacement of Components and Parts :


For the replacement of parts and components use only parts of the same or equivalent
type. Resistors without specific data in the diagrams have a power dissipation of 0.33
Watt and a tolerance of 2%. Circuit must have sufficient electric strength. Capacitors
without a voltage value must be rated for an operating voltage of 63 V. The
capacitance tolerance should not exceed 20%. Many semiconductors are selected,
especially the gate diodes 1N4154, and all amplifier transistors, which are contained
in push-pull circuits (including the FETs). If a selected semiconductor is defective, all
gate diodes or both push-pull transistors of a stage should be replaced by selected
components, because otherwise there are possibly deviations of the specified data or
functions.
Replacement of the Power Transformer :
It should be necessary colour to replace the mains/line transformer, the correct
terminal sequence (color identification) for primary and secondary windings must be
followed (see diagram "Power Supply"). In addition the relevant Safety Regulations
must be observed. Here, we refer only to those requirements relative to the parts
conductivity connected to the supply mains:
1. The construction of the instrument shall be such as to prevent any short
circuiting or bridging the insulation, clearances or creep age distances between
those parts connected to the supply mains and any accessible conductive parts
due to accidental loosening or freeing of the wiring, screws etc.
2. The minimum cross section of the protective earth connection between the
instruments power inlet and the connecting soldering tab on the rear chassis
must be 0.81 mm2.
3. Connecting soldering tab on the rear chassis has to be secured mechanically
against loosening (e.g. with lock washer).
After replacing the power transformer, all remaining bits of wire, solder and other
foreign matter must be removed from the PCB's, the vicinity of the power transformer
and from within the insulting connecting box by shaking, brushing and blowing.
Finally, the top plate of the insulating connecting box has to be replaced. Before
connecting the instrument to the power supply, replace the possibly defective fuse,
press the Power button and make sure that there is an adequate insulation state
between chassis (safety earth conductor) on the one hand, and the live/line pin as well
as the neutral pin, on the other. Only after proper insulation has been established may
further function tests with open chassis follow, but with appropriate precautionary
measures.

Glossary of Oscilloscope Terms


1. Band width :
The range of frequencies within which performance of the amplifier remains within
specified limits. Normally this limit is -3dB.
2. Rise time :
The time required for the leading edge of the pulse to rise from 10% to 90% of its
final value. For Oscilloscope it is given by :
350
tr = ns
Bandwidth in MHz
3. Sensitivity :
An Oscilloscope sensitivity is described as input signal level needed to produce a
stated deflection of the electron beam on the CRT screen. Specifications are given in
mV/cm or mV/ Div.
4. Input impedance :
The input impedance of Oscilloscope is the value of resistance parallel by
capacitance. The attenuators are designed in such way that at any position of input
attenuator it offers constant impedance. The typical input impedance of a
Oscilloscope is 1MOhm parallel with 25-50 pF.
5. Trigger :
In an Oscilloscope, in order to get a stable waveform, it is necessary to synchronize
horizontal Time base with the vertical input signal. This synchronization is called
Triggering. There are two modes of triggering called Auto and Trigger Level. In the
Auto mode, the time base will trigger automatically at the mean level of the input
signal. In absence of signal this will give bright base line. In level mode the triggering
points can be set at any position of leading edge.
6. Z – modulation :
Z-Modulation is nothing but intensity modulation. For a positive TTL level when a '0'
volt (low state) is applied, then CRT is blanked. When +5 volt (high state) is applied
then trace appears.
7. Maximum input voltage :
It is the maximum voltage that can be safely applied to the Y-input of the
Oscilloscope. The Oscilloscope demonstrator ST2001E specifies the maximum input
voltage to be 350 (DC + peak AC). This means that the voltage of the input, cannot
exceed 350 V, which includes both the DC voltage and the peak AC voltage of the
signal.

ST2001E

8. Time base :
This circuit generates time varying signal which is applied to the horizontal deflection
plates of the CRT. The sweep speed is selected on the time base control which is
marked in s/ Div., in 1-2-5 sequence. This sequence has been selected because it gives
a very good degree of overlap between ranges and thus a test signal can normally
displayed on more than one sweep speed. A variable control is also incorporated
which increases the sweep speed on any setting and enables the wave form to be
expanded.
8. Display modes :
The display mode refers to the different possibilities of the signals displaying on
screen. In CH I or CH II mode, only signals fed into the CH I or CH II input will be
displayed on the screen. In the Alternate mode, the signals from the two channels are
displayed alternatively on the screen. In the Chop mode, signals are displayed
simultaneously at a chopped frequency (100 KHz in ST2001E). In the X-Y mode, the
Oscilloscope is used as a X-Y monitor. Here CH I is Y axis & CH II is X axis.
9. Input coupling :
The input switch has three positions, to select either DC or AC coupling or ground. In
DC coupling, the input signal is fed directly in to the amplifier while AC coupling
enables blocking of the DC components of the input signal and passes only the AC
components of the signal to the Y amplifier. In the Gnd position, the input of the Y
amplifier is grounded.

Fault Simulation and Step by Step Fault


Finding Procedure
In training and understanding the electronic circuits, a new concept, has been added to
ST2001E, where you can create a fault. For creating a fault you can choose any of the
15 different type of standard faults are listed below. You have to simply change one
of the shorting shunt / jumper position on to the next position. A complete actual
jumper position is shown in jumper position plan. While fault exists, students can go
for trouble shooting, and in turn find the fault. The cause of the fault, may be either of
short circuited path, open circuited path or base-emitter of transistor short, or collector
to emitter is open etc. Once the cause is located, it can be verified and shorting jumper
can be placed at right place. In case of difficulty in finding the fault, they can refer to
the procedure given below, to locate and analyze it, in systematic step-by-step
procedure.
Normally, one fault should be inserted, so as to make it simple and problem like in
real world. However, one can always, add multiple faults, as desired from the list of
the standard faults.
List of Standard Faults :
1. No +24 V Power Supply Present
2. No +5 V Power Supply Present
3. Very Low Channel Gain, in CH I.
4. No gain / signal displayed on screen in CH II.
5. Signal gets distorted as Y pas moved, also gain is low.
6. Trace is in center, no Y shift works.
7. CH I Y-shift is not correct, CH II is correct
8. No chop operation in Dual-Chop mode.
9. No alternate operation in Dual-Alt mode.
10. No trigger from internal source
11. Time Base dead
12. No time base on speeds 0.5µs/cm 50µs/cm and 5ms/cm.
13. No CT , only spot appears on the screen. No trace but, time base ,is present, and
shift is correct
14. No trace, but time base is okay.
15. Limited, X position, one sided trace.
Note :
For details of test patterns and voltages, please refer to Test Point Details, of this
manual.

4. Check voltage at pin 1 of IC 801, 7824, it should be approximately 33 V, if not
then (If the voltage at pin no.1 is correct, but at pin no. 3 , it is not correct, then
the IC is faulty or pin no. 2 is not grounded , or a short circuit in the circuit
connected.)
5. Check the voltage at +ve terminal of bridge rectifier BR801, it should be
approximately +33V.
6. If the voltage at +ve terminal is correct, then the track between BR801 and

6. Check voltage at R432, end common to R431 R436, it should be + 24 V.
7. If the voltage is correct at R432, but not at R431, then the track between two is
open.
8. Turn Off the instrument, remove the shorting shunt form pin 1 and 2 of jumper
J12 and place it on 2 and 3.
9. Turn On the instrument, the trace at all these three speeds should be visible.
Results :
Due to open track the constant current source resistors at these speed was not
connected and, thus the constant current was not available for charging the timing
capacitors.
Fault 13 : No CT, only spot appears on the screen
Symptoms : Timebase is working, but a spot appears when CT is
selected.
Oscilloscope Settings : Press the pushbutton CT and keep all other pushbuttons
out, set all potentiometer controls in the centre.
Fault Section : Component Tester circuit.

Procedure :
1. Turn On the instrument select the CT mode.
2. Check the voltage at CT input terminals, it should be approximately 8 Vrms, if
not then,
3. Check the voltage at base of T406 or TP405 in timebase, it should sine 2.6
Vrms , if not then
4. Check the voltage at TP08, if not then,
5. Check the voltage at R9, end common to R10 in component tester circuit, it
should be 2.6 Vrms sine, if not then,
(If the voltage at R9 is correct, but at base of T406 is not correct, then CT
switch may be faulty).
6. Check voltage across at TP63 and TP62 in component tester circuit, it should be
8.6Vrms sine, if not then,
7. Check voltage at secondary of transformer, it should be 8.6 Vrms sinewave.
8. If voltage is correct, then track between the two is open.
9. Turn Off the instrument.
10. Remove shorting shunt from 2 and 3 of jumper J13, and place it on pin 1 and 2.
11. Turn On the instrument and check the CT operation.
Results :
Due to open circuit CT circuit was not getting 8.6 Vrms and CT was not working.
Fault 14 : No trace but, time base is present.
Oscilloscope Settings : Time base at 50µs/cm all push buttons out all
potentiometers in the centre
Fault Section : x - Final amplifier
Symptoms : Sawtooth is generated, but no trace is visible, no CT
works.

Procedure :
1. Turn On the instrument.
2. Check the voltage at R504, it should be-2 V to +6 V, by varying the X Pos
potentiometer, if not then,
3. Check the variation at TP37, it should be 0 to 9 V.
4. If the voltage at TP37 is correct, but at R504 it is not, then T505 is faulty.
5. Turn Off the instrument, check the resistance between base and emitter of T505,
if it shows zero, then base and emitter are getting shorted.
6. Remove the shorting shunt from pin 1 and 2 of jumper J14 and place it on pin 2
and 3.
7. Turn On the instrument, and check the trace, it should be visible and should
move left and right by moving X Pos control.
Results :
Due to short circuit at base and emitter of transistor T505, the biasing of forward
transistor was disturbed, and hence the time base was actually single sided.
Fault 15 : Limited, X position, one sided trace
Symptoms : Trace is on only one side and X-position potentiometer
is not working properly.
Oscilloscope Settings : Timebase at 50 µs/cm all push buttons out, all
potentiometers in the centre
Fault Section : X-Final amplifier.
Procedure :
1. Turn On the instrument.
2. Check the voltage at TP37, if not then,
3. Check the voltage at R517, 12 K end common to potentiometer P501, 10 K, it
should be 9V, if not then, (If the voltage at R51 7 is correct, but at TP37 it is
not, then P501 may be faulty).
4. Check the voltage at R517 , end common to R518 , it should be +24 V, if not
then,
5. Check the voltage at R518 , it should be +24 V, if not then,
6. If the voltage at R518 is correct, but at R517 it is not, then track between the
two is open.
7. Turn Off the instrument, remove the shorting shunt from pin 2 and 3 of jumper
J15 and place it on pin 1 and 2.
8. Turn On the instrument and check the X Pos control, it should work.
Results :
Due to opening between the R517 and R518, X positioning was not working
