can
be
confirm-
ed
by
use ofadual trace scope.Set scope horizontal time base to 2mSec.
See
Figure 2for scope connec-
tions and relationship
of

of
U4B.
Output should
be
similar to WAVEFORM

and
the negative pulse should
be
approximately
4.7!-,Sec

BOARD
The four memory chips
U2C,
U2D
,
U2E
, and
U2F
are the B & W memory.
U2C
and
U2F
comprise
memory for the top half of the moni
tor
display, while
U2D
and
U2E
comprise memory for the bottom
half of the monitor. The video information is fed thru
U3F
to
ROM
(U3E)
to generate the dot pattern to
be
displayed.
U3D
then shifts this information serially
to
the Video Monitor
(J21)
.See Figure 3 to com-
pare timing of memory switch signal to video signal. Set horizontal time base on scope
to
2mSec. This
confirms operation
of
U2C,
U2D
,
U2E,
U2F,

part of
U3E,
U3F,
and
aSSOCiated
