Separate controls are provided to select the desired mode of triggering for the A and B sweeps. The A sweep can be operated in one of three modes; automatic triggering, normal triggering, or single sweep. A varlable trigger holdolf control permits the A swoop to trigger in astable manner on aperiodic signals or complex digital words. The horizontal deflection system has calibrated sweep rates from 0 second to 0.01 microsecond/division. A X10 magnifier increases each sweep rate by a factor of 10 to provide a maximum sweep rate of one nanosecond per division in the 01 1 position. ‘The delayed and mixed sweep features allow thestart of sweep to be delayed a selectad amount from the start of A sweep to provide accurate relative-time measurements. Calibrated X-Y measurements can be made with Channel 2 providing the vertical deflection and Channel t providing ‘the horizontal deflection (TIME/DIV. switch fully ‘counterclockwise and VERT MODE switch to CH 2). Regulated DC power supplies provide stable instrument performance over @ wide range of line voltages and frequencies, Maximum power consumption of the instru- ment is approximately 100 watts Characteristics The following instrument specifications apply over an ambient temperature range of ~15°C to +55°C unless ‘otherwise specified. Warmup time tor specified ac- Ccuracies is 20 minutes. The calibration procedure given in Section 6, if performed completely, will ensure the instru- ment meets the electrical characteristics listed in this section. 1Specification—475A Service TABLE 1-1 ELECTRICAL Characteristics Performance Requirements Supplemental Information ver Deflection Factor Calibrated Range 5 mV to 10 W/DIV in 11 steps: 1- sequence.
