CONTROLS AND

INPUT

TERMINALS

The

Model 465

has

its

controls

and

input

terminals

grouped

in

logical

arrangement

as

for

use.

All

controls

for

either

channel

are

vertically

grouped

on

each

side

of

the

front

panel,

th

e

sync

and

sweep

controls

are

in

the

middle

segment,

while

the

CRT

controls

are

grouped

alongside

the

CRT

screen.

a.

The

AC

pow

er

on/off

switch

is

located

on

the

SCALE

ILLUMination

control

and

is

operated

by

rotating

this

control

clockwise

from

the

OFF

position

.

This

also

turns

up

the

scale

illumination.

3

b.

The

INTENSITY, FOCUS,

and

ASTIGmatism

controls

determine

the

brightness

and

sharpness

of

the

visible

trace.

The

INTENSITY

control

determines

the

brightness,

while

both

FOCUS

and

ASTIGMATISM

determine

the

sharpness.

These

three

controls

interact

to

a

slight

extent,

therefore,

a

change

in

any

control

setting

may

require

a

change

in

all.

c.

In

both

amplifier

groupings,

the

topmost

control

(V

/CM)

selects

the

amount

of

input

attenuation

,

in

conjunction

with

its

concentric

gain

control.

In

both

cases,

the

calibration

voltage

position

is

indicated

in

red.

Both POSITION

controls

adjust

the

location

of

the

trace

on

the

screen.

The

HORIZ

position

control

moves

the

trace

to

the

right

or

left,

while

the

VERTICAL

control

adjusts

the

trace

up

and

down.

Each

input

attenuator

provides

four

degrees

of

attenuation;

resulting

in

either

. 05, . 5, 5,

or

50

volts-per-cm

deflection.

Each

input

is

obtainable

with

either

AC

or

DC

coupling

by

operation

of

either

AC-DC

switch

located

near

the

bottom

of

each

channel

section

.

The

use

of

direct

coupling

(UC)

prevent

phase

shifts

and

amplitude

distortions

of

low-frequency

waveforms

and

also

provides

a DC

reference

line

to

be

established

for

accurate

amplitude

measurement.

AC

coupling

is

used

when

observing

a

small

a.

c.

signal

superimposed

on

a

relatively

large

d.

c.

voltage

.

At

the

CAL

position,

the

square-wave

calibration

voltage

is

fed

directly

to

the

amplifier,

bypassing

the

decade

attenuator

switch,

but

not

the

GAIN

control.

By

setting

the

vertical

GAIN

control

for

a

vertical

trace

size

of

four

major

divisions

(4

cm),

the

basic

50 mV

/cm

sensitivity

is

obtained

when

setting

the

VERT

AMPLIFIER

V/cm

switch

to

the.

05

position

and

sensitivities

of.

5, 5,

and

50

volts/cm

at

the

other

three

positions

provided

that

the

VERT

AMPLIFIER

V

/CM

GAIN

control

is

not

changed.

By

setting

the

HORIZ

AMPLIFIER

V

/CM

switch

to

the

CAL

position,

and

setting

the

GAIN

control

for

a

trace

of

10

divisions

long

(10

cm),

the

basic

50 mV

/cm

sensitivity

is

obtained

for

the

horizontal

channel

when

resetting

the

HORIZ

AMPLIFIER

V/ CM

switch

to

the

.

05

position,

and

sensitivities

of . 5, 5,

and

50

volts/cm

at

the

other

three

positions

provided

that

the

HORIZ

AMPLI-

FIER

V/ CM GAIN

control

is

not

changed.

d.

Both

vertical

and

horizontal

channels

GAIN

controls

can

be

adjusted

for

any

desired

signal

height,

or

trace

length,

if

accurate

calibration

is

not

needed.

e.

Both

VERT

AMPLIFIER

and

HORIZ

AMPLIFIER

lNPUT

and

GND

terminals

will

accept

standard

scope

connectors,

probe

leads,

or

plain

wires.

f.

The

SYNC

SELECTOR

switch

has

four

sync

positions

to

permit

sync

selection

for

the

sweep

generator.

At

the

60Q

position,

an

a.

c.

signal

of

power-line

frequency

is

taken

from

the

power

supply

and

applied

to

the

sweep

generator

to

synchronize

it

at

power-line

frequency.

At

the

EXT

position,

an

external

signal

applied

to

the

HORIZ

AMPLIFIER

INPUT

binding

post

syncs

the

sweep

generator.

At

both

"+-"

and

"-"

positions,

the

synchronizing

signal

is

derived

internally

from

the

vertical

(signal)

amplifier.

At"+-",

synchronization

occurs

on

the

positive-going

edge

of

the

applied

input

signal.

At"-",

from

the

negative-going

portion

of

the

applied

vertical

channel

signal.

At

the

60Q HORIZ

position,

an

a.

c.

voltage

is

taken

from

the

power

supply

and

used

as

the

input

to

the

horizontal

amplifier

to

form

the

sweep.

In

the

EXT

HORIZ

position,

the

signal

applied

to

the

HORIZ

AMPLIFIER

INPUT

binding

post

forms

the

sweep.

g.

The

SWEEP

RANGE

switch

selects

the

frequency

band

over

which

the

concentric

vernier

(VERN)

control

can

be

varied

for

frequency

adjustment

of

the

internal

linear

sweep,

or

the

preset

VERT

TV

or

HORIZ

TV

positions,

designed

to

eliminate

the

need

for

repeated

adjustment

of

the

SWEEP

RANGE

switch

when

working

on

TV

sets

that

use

two

widely

spaced

frequencies

for

vertical

and

horizontal

circuits.

In

the

four

numbered

positions,

the

numbers

above

the

positions

markers

indicate

the

upper

and

lower

frequency

limits

of

the

band

(approximately),

for

that

particular

position.

The

convenience

provide

by

the

VERT

TV

and

HORIZ

TV

positions

is

as

follows:

if

at

the

VERT

TV

position,

the

SWEEP

RANGE

VERNier

is

set

to

display

two full

cycles

of

a

60

Hz

signal

to

obtain

a

sweep

frequency

of

30 Hz,

placing

the

SWEEP

RANGE

switch

in

the

HORIZ

TV

position

will

result

in

an

automatic

7875

Hz

display

without

any

adjustment

1-5. NOTES ON CONTROLS AND TERMINALS

a.

Proper

trace

definition

will

be

obtained

only

if

the

FOCUS

and

ASTIG

controls

are

correctly

adjusted,

and

the

scope

is

not

operated

in

strong

magnetic

fields

such

as

those

found

near

large

power

transformers,

radio

transmitters,

and

power-generating

equipment.

These

strong

magnetic

fields

may

distort

the

electron

beam

that

produces

the

trace.

b.

A

sharply

focussed

line,

or

a

small

dot

of

high

intensity,

should

not

be

permitted

to

remain

stationary

on

the

screen

for

any

period

of

time

(more

than

a

1/2

minute

or

so)

or

the

screen

may

be

burned.

A

trace

of

excessively

high

intensity

will

burn

the

screen

in

3 to 5

minutes,

therefore,

do

not

keep

the

INTENSITY

control

turned

up

for

extended

periods

of

time.

Burned

portions

of

the

screen

will

no

longer

fluoresce

and

are

useless

for

observation.

If

it

is

required

to

have

a

fixed

trace

on

the

screen

for

a

long

period

of

time,

reduce

the

intensity

of

the

trace

to

minimum.

c. When

either

AC-DC

switch

is

placed

in

the

DC

position,

the

d. c.

component

of

any

signal

fed to

U:e

amplifier

w

ill

be

amplified

along

with

the

a.

c.

component

of

the

signal.

The

direction

of

trace

movement

is

UP

for

a

positive

voltage

and

DOWN

for

a

negative

voltage.

Therefore,

when

going

from

observation

of a

pure

a.

c.

signal

to

one

containing

d.

c.

(or

vice

versa),

it

may

be

necessary

to

use

the

POSITION

control

to

bring

the

trace

back

on

the

screen.

Any d. G·

component

has

no

effect

when

the

AC-DC

switch

is

in

the

AC

position.

d. A

trace

can

be

expanded

horizontally

and

/

or

vertically

to

several

times

full

screeh

without

dis-

tortion

by

using

the

amplifier

V

/CM

switch

and

concentric

GAIN

control.

Likewise,

'

trace

positioning

is

several

times

screen

diameter

to

permit

examination

of

any

portion

of

the

expanded

trace.

e. An

independent

DC

BALance

control

is

provided

for

each

channel.

These

are

accessible

through

small

holes

on

the

front

panel.

When

they

are

properly

adjusted,

there

should

be

no

shifting

of

the

trace

(no

signal

applied)

when

the

GAIN

control

is

rotated

from

minimum

to

maximum.

Detailed

alignment

will

be

given

in

the

MAINTENANCE

section.

f.

The

vertical

channel

voltage

calibration

developes

a

negative-going

signal.

This

means

that

if

the

top

of

the

calibration

square

wave

is

set

to

the

horizontal

center

line

of

the

calibration

grid,

(using

the

vertical

channel

POSITION

control),

the

horizontal

center

line

becomes

the

"zero

center"

for

the

calibration

grid

(assuming

that

the

DC

balance

is

correct).

Under

these

circumstances,

direct

read-

ing of AC, DC,

or

AC

superimposed

on

DC

voltages

can

be

made.

The

horizontal

center

line

is

zero

voltage,

while

trace

points

above

the

center

line

are

positive,

and

below

the

center

line

are

negative.

Once

calibration

has

been

made,

then

operation

of

the

V

/CM

control

can

be

used

to

determine

the

signal

voltage

level.

Pure

DC

voltages

are

determined

by

noting

the

distance

above

the

horizontal

center

line

(for

positive

signals)

or

below

the

center

line

for

negative

levels,

and

multiplying

the

displacement

in

cm

(smallest

grid

division

is

2

mm,

major

division

is

1

cm),

by

the

sensitivity

of

the

particular

V

/CM

switch

position.

For

example

-

an

unknown

DC

voltage

applied

to

the

VERT

AMPLIFIER

INPUT

and

GND

binding

posts

at

the

.

05

position

of

the

V

/CM

switch

causes

a

downward

trace

displacement

of 2

1/2

small

grid

division

(4

1/2

mm).

Since

the

deflection

is

downward,

the

voltage

is

negative.

As

the

sensitivity

is

50

mV

/

cm

in

the

.

05

position,

the

DC

voltage

is

25

mV.

AC

waveforms

with

or

without

a

DC

component

can

be

read

as

to

absolute

voltages

at

any

point,

and

including

the

value

of

any

DC

component.

For

example

-

an

unknown

voltage

applied

to

the

vertical

channel

at

the

. 5

position,

displays

a

waveform

having a

positive

peak

4

major

divisions

above

the

horizontal

center

line

and

a

negative

peak

2

major

divisions

below

the

horizontal

center

line.

As

the

sensitivity

at

the . 5

position

is

500

mV

/cm,

the

positive

peak

is

2

volts

and

the

negative

peak

is

1

volt

(3

volts

peak-to-peak).

When

the

AC-DC

switch

is

in

the

AC

position,

the

positive

peak

moves

1

1/2

major

divisions

(7

1/2

minor

divisions)

downward

so

that

the

positive

peak

is

now

only

2

1/2

major

divisions

(12

1/2

minor

divisions)

above

tre

horizontal

center

line.

Since

1

major

division

is

500

mV

at

the

. 5

position,

the

DC

component

of

the

voltage

is

11/2

cm

x 500

mV

/cm

or

750

mV

and

positive.

If

the

signal

under

observation

is

a

sine-wave

only,

the

r.

m.

s.

value

may

be

calculated

by

dividing

the

peak-to-peak

value

by

2. 8.

Lock

the

of

the

SWEEP

control

until

a

single

square-wave

is

displayed

on

the

screen,

and

remains

stationary

.

NOTE:

In

rotating

the

SWEEP

RANGE VERN

control,

the

pattern

slows

down

as

certain

critical

frequencies

are

approached,

and

then

it

appears

to

reverse

direction

when a

critical

frequency

is

passed.

At

these

critical

frequencies,

a

clear

square-wave

pattern

can

be

discerned.

These

criti-

cal

sweep

frequencies

are

sub-multiples

of

the

signal

frequency,

or

the

signal

frequency

itself

(when

only

one

cycle

is

displayed).

The

pattern

may

be

locked

in

at

any

sub-multiple

of

the

signal

frequency

when

it

is

desired

to view

more

than

one

cycle

of

the

applied

signal.

The

sweep

frequency

is

equal

to

the

signal

frequency

divided

by

tl

ie

number

of

complete

cycles

displayed

on

the

screen.

For

example

-

if

two

complete

cycles

of

the

60-Hz

signal

are

displayed,

the

sweep

frequency

is

30

Hz.

At

very

low

sweep

frequencies,

flickering

of

the

trace

is

normal

due to

the

slow

writing

speed

of

the

electron

beam,

and

the

persistence

of the

screen.

Taken

together,

these

may

be

insufficient

to

cause

the

beam

motion

to

blend

into a

clear

fixed

image.

n.

Adjust

the

SWEEP

RANGE VERN

until

the

single

square

wave

pattern

locks

on

the

positive-going

leading

edge,

which

should

not

be

visible.

Placing

the

SYNC

SELECTOR

in

the

"-"position

should

cause

the

pattern

to

move

over

until

sync

takes

place

on

the

negative

transition.

o.

If

it

is

desired

to

observe

the

operation

of

the

intensity

modulation

facility,

connect

the

output

of

an

audio

generator

to

the

rear

panel

intensity

jack

and

front

panel

GND.

Be

sure

that

the

INTENSITY

control

is

set

no

higher

than

is

necessary.

Set

the

audio

generator

to

600 Hz

and

bring

up

the

generator

o

utput

until

the

displayed

single

pattern

breaks

up into

segments.

Do

not

increase

the

generator's

ou

tput

above

the

level

required

to do

this.

Fine

adjust

the

generator

frequency

carefully

until

the

seg-

me

nt

s

become

stationary.

If

the

segm,ents

are

counted,

it

will

be

found

that

there

are

10.

This

indi-'

cat

es

that

the

ratio

between

the

frequency

of

the

intensity

modulation

(audio

generator)

and

the

vertical

ampl

ifier

input

(in

this

case

60 Hz)

is

600/60

or

10.

Therefore,

the

intensity

modulation

can

be

used

for

introducing

timing

markers

on

the

trace,

or

for

determining

the

frequency

of

an

unknown

signal.

CAUTION

When

using

the

INTENSITY

modulation,

the

INTENSITY

control

should

first

be

set

at

minimum

(counterclockwise}

and

then

turned

clockwise

just

enough to

obtain

normal

intensity.

If

this

is

done,

the

possibility

of

applying

excessive

intensity

modulation

signal

voltage

will

be

minimized.

WAVEFORM INVESTIGATION When

the

output

of

the

scope's

internal

sweep

generator

is

fed

to

the

horizontal

channel,

the

pattern

on

the

CRT

screen

is

actually

a

graph

displaying

the

variation

with

time

of

the

instantaneous

amplitude

of

the

signal

applied

to

the

vertical

channel.

The

horizontal

sweep

time

can

be

varied

so

as

to

present

one

or

more

full

cycles

on

the

screen.

3-3.

WAVEFORM DISPLAY

It

is

generally

most

convenient

to

use

a

time

base

that

varies

linearly

with

time,

so

that

equal

intervals

of

time

are

represented

on

the

screen

by

equal

intervals

of

distance

along

the

horizontal

axis.

If

the

frequency

of

the

observed

signal

is

exactly

equal

to

the

sweep

frequency,

one

complete

vertical

channel

cycle

will

be

observed

on

the

screen.

If

the

frequency

of

the

applied

signal

is

twice

the

horizontal

sweep

frequency,

two

complete

cycles

will

be

seen

on

the

screen,

and

so

on.

of

a

simple

In

both

The

If

simultaneous

projections

were

drawn

from

every

on

each

the

would

trace

out

the

shown

within

the

LISSAJOUS

PATTERNS:

Another

type

of

fundamental

pattern

is

obtained

when

both

the

vertical

and

horizontal

deflection

voltages

are

sine

waves

that

are

frequency

when one

frequency

is

a whole

number

of

times

greater

than

the

other;

or

when

one

frequency

is

a

simple

fraction

of

the

other.

When one

or

the

other

of

these

conditions

is

fulfilled,

stationary

closed-loop

patterns

are

obtained.

These

patterns

are

called

Lissajous

figures

after

a 19th

century

French

scientist.

They

are

parti-

cularly

useful

in

determining

the

frequency

ratio

between

two

sine

wave

signals.

If

the

frequency

of

one

signal

is

known,

the

frequency

of

the

other

signal

can

be

easily

determined

from

the

frequency

ratio.

Usually

the

known

signal

is

applied

to

the

horizontal

channel

and

the

unknown

signal

to

the

vertical

channel.

The

shape

of

the

pattern

changes

with

the

phase

relationship

between

the

known

and

unknown

signals.

For

example,

all

the

patterns

shown

in

Fig.

3 (and

those

intermediate)

are

possible

with

a

frequency

ratio

of

1:1

if

the

differences

First,

for

a

basis

of

comparison,

the

square

wave

output

from

the

Audio

Generator

is

directly

viewed

on

the

scope.

The

horizontal

sweep

of

the

scope

should

be

adjusted

so

that

at

least

two full

cycles

can

be

seen

on

the

screen.

(Fig.

6a

shows

one

full

cycle

of

a

perfect

square

wave).

The

scope

is

then

connected

to

the

output

of

the

amplifier

under

test

so

that

the

amplified

square

wave

can

be

viewed

on

the

screen.

Possible

output

wave

shapes

are

shown

in

Fig.

6b to

6i,

and

the

significance

of

each

waveshape

is

explained

below.

Fig.

6b

shows

"rounding"

of

the

leading

edge

of

square

wave.

This

indicates

a

drop

off

in

gain

at

high

frequencies.

"Rounding"

will

generally

be

observable

when

there

is

a

substantial

drop

in

the

gain

by

the

tenth

harmonic

(br

less)

.

Therefore

, if a 2KHz

square

wave

fed

to

the

amplifier

is

re-

produced

on

the

scope

without

"rounding",

the

amplifier

is

flat

to

10

x 2KHz =20KHz.

Fig.

6c

shows

the

effect

of

increased

low-frequency

gain

and

Fig.

6d

shows

the

effect

of

de-

creased

low-frequency

gain

of the

square

wave

frequency.

Fig.

6e

indicates

lowered

gain

at

a

narrow

frequency

band

.

The

effect

of

phase

shift

in

the

amplifier

is

shown

in

Figs.

6f

and

6g.

If,

at

low

frequencies,

there

is

phase

shift

in

the

leading

direction,

the

square

wave

will

be

tilted

as

in

Fig.

6f.

If

there

is

phase

shift

in

the

lagging

direction,

the

top

of

the

square

wave

will

be

tilted

as

in

Fig.

6g.

The

steep-

ness

of

the

tilt

is

proportional

to

the

amount

of

phase

shift.

Phase

shift

is

not

important

in

audio

ampli-

fiers,

although

the

ear

is

not

entirely

insensitive

to

it.

In

television

and

scope

amplifiers,

however,

phase

shift

should

not

be

tolerated.

Fig.

6h

shows

the

pulse

output

from

the

amplifier

that

results

when

the

square

wave

has

under-

gone

differentiation

.

This

will

happen

when

the

grid

resistor,

or

the

coupling

capacitor

is

too low

in

value,

or

if

the

coupling

capacitor

is

partially

open.

Lastly,

Fig.

6i,

shows

a

square

wave

with

damped

oscillations

following

the

leading

edge.

This

results

when a

square

wave

is

fed

to

an

amplifier

in

which

distributed

capacities

and

lead

inductances

resonate

to

produce

"shock

oscillations"

.

In

television

and

scope

amplifiers

it

may

result

from

an

undamp

ed

peaking

coil.

High-fidelity

audio

amplifiers

may

be

given

a

rapid

check

by

testing

first

with

a

square

wave

of

fundamental

frequency

not

less

than

3

to

4

times

the

low-frequency

limit

of

the

amplifier

(3dB

point),

and

then

with

a

square

wave

of

fundamental

frequency

which

may

be

anywhere

between

1/100 to 1/

10

of

the

high-frequency

limit

of

the

amplifier

depending

upon how

many

harmonics

are

considered

necessary

to

produce

an

acceptable

version

of

a

square

waveform.

Usually,

square

waves

of

fundamental

frequency

from

40 to 60 Hz

and

1000

to

2000

Hz

are

employed

to

cover

the

range

up

to

20, 000 Hz.

To

insure

correct

results,

the

following

is

suggested:

Connect

the

proper

value

of

load

across

the

amplifier

output

terminals;

use

low-capacitance

cable

for

connecting

the

generator

to

the

amplifier

input;

set

the

generator

output

to

an

ample

value

but

be

sure

not

to

overload

the

amplifier.

The

square-

wave

signal

is

fed

to

the

amplifier

input

and

the

scope

is

connected

across

the

amplifier

load.

Use

the

internal

linear

sweep

to

observe

the

waveform

. Note

that

tone

controls

have

a

very

marked

effect

on

square

wave

response

and

should

be

set

to

the

"flat"

positions

unless

it

is

desired

to

observe

their

ef-

fect.

Note,

also

, t

hat

low-fidelity

and

p.a.

amplifiers

will

not

reproduce

the

square

waveform.

Video

amplifiers

may

be

square

wave

tested

in

the

same

manner

as

described

for

testing

audio

amplifiers.

The

test

frequencies

might

be

60

Hz

for

the

low

end,

and

25, 000 Hz

for

the

high

end.

sco

pe

in

TV

servicing

is

alignment

in

con-

junction

with

a TV/ FM Sw

eep

Generator.

First,

the

IF

stages

are

aligned,

and

then

the

RF

and

local

oscillator

stages

, following

the

general

method

and

theory

of

alignment

described

in

the

sweep

genera-

tor

instruction

ma

nua

ls.

The

specific

methods

of

alignmen

t

depend

on the

receiver,

and

the

manu

-

facturer's

service

in

s

tr

uction

should

always

be

followed

.

Another

maj

or

us

e

of

the

scope

is

to

check

the

waveform

of

the

complex

TV

signal

as

it

passes

through

the

rece

ive

r .

The

exceptional

fidelity

of

the

Model 465

scope

is

very

important

in

this

appli-

cation,

since

you m

ust

be

able

to

observe

small

variations

in

wa

vefor

to

localize

and

correct

the

cause

of

poor

picture

qua

lity

.

Here

again,

the

set

manufacture

r

provides

representative

waveforms

to

be

ex-

pected

at

specifi

c po

ints

in

a

specific

model

of

receiver

.

These

waveform

pictures

are

furnished

for

the

entire

receiver

, w

ith

the

exception

of

the

tuner

portion

. EICO

manufactures

a

complete

line

of

high-

quality

oscillosc

ope

probes

meeting

all

the

requirement

for

waveform

observation

in

any

par

t

of

a

TV

receiver

.

Keep

in

mi

nd

that

two

basic

frequencies

are

involved

in

checking

waveform

of

signals

in

TV

receivers.

The

first

is

the

vertical

or

field

frequency

of

60

Hz . Any

waveform

check,

except

for

the

horizontal

oscillator,

its'

differentiator

network,

the

horizontal

output

stage

can

generally

be

made

using

a

scope

sweep

of

30

Hz

(to

show

two

complete

fields

of

the

signal).

To

examine

the

horizontal

pulse

shape;

or

the

operation

of

the

horizontal

deflection

system,

7875

Hz

is

required

to

show

two

cycles.

The

SWEEP

RANGE

VERT

TV

and

HORIZ

TV

have

been

incorporated

to

provide

rapid

changeover

from

one

basic

TV

sweep

frequency

to

the

other

without

the

need

for

contro

l

read-

justment

.
