The

HM

203-7

is

Western

Europe's

best

selling

oscilloscope

because

it

responds

thoroughly

to

customer

demands

for

reliability,

superior

perfor¬

mance,

and

ease

of

operation.

The

outstanding

transient

response

of

the

HM

203-7,

particularly

when

displaying

square

wave

signals,

is

one

of

the

pre-eminent

features

of

this

quality

instrument,

the

integrity

of

the

signals

reproduced

by

this

oscilloscope

reflect

a

dedication

to

engineering

excellence

normally

only

found

in

expensive

labora¬

tory

instruments.

As

an

aid

to

ensure

the

correct

polarities

when

displaying

the

sum,

difference,

or

video

signals,

an

"invert"

control

is

provided

on

channel

II.

Technically

advanced

triggering

circuits

enable

the

user

to

attain

clear,

stable

displays

from

DC

to

over

40

MHz,

with

input

levels

as

low

as

0.5

divisions.

The

Holdoff

control

enables

even

complex

asynchronous

waveforms

to

be

solidly

displayed.

Trigger

action

is

indicated

by

an

LED,

which

illuminates

whenever

the

trigger

threshold

point

is

crossed.

And

for

the

display

of

video

signals,

the

HM

203-7

has

a

low

distortion

active

TV

sync

separator,

which

allows

for

auto¬

matic

synchronizing

with

line

and

frame

frequencies.

"Alternate

triggering"

mode

enables

the

display

of

two

asynchronous

signals

simulteneously.

The

CRT's

8x10

cm

internal

graticule

enhances

parallax-free

viewing

over

a

wide

field.

In

addition,

the

CRT

is

fully

shielded

with

mumetal

to

prevent

display

distortion

in

the

presence

of

magnetic

fields.

As

a

practical,

built-in

feature,

the

component

tester

enables

the

operator

to

quickly

identify

faulty

semiconductors

and

a

large

variety

of

individual

compo¬

nents,

both

in

circuit

and

out.

The

HM203-7

was

specifically

designed

for

use

in

production

lines,

general

service

applications,

and

for

technical

training

facilities.

The

multiplicity

of

display

modes,

the

easy-to-understand

front

panel,

and

the

operational

simplicity

of

the

HM203-7

make

it

also

an

ideal

training

scope

for

educational

purposes.

The

clear

advantage

over

ordinary

probes

are

field

replaceable

parts

and

the

HF-compensation

feature

on

the

10:1

pro¬

bes.

For

the

first

time,

probes

in

this

price

range

allow

adjustments

of

their

FIF-characteristics

to

match

individually

the

input

imped¬

ance

of

each

scope.

This

is

particularly

important

for

scopes

with

higher

bandwidths

(>50MFIz),

as

otherwise

strong

overshoot

or

rounding

may

occur,

when

measuring

fast-rising

square

General

Information

Safety

This

oscilloscope

is

easy

to

operate.

The

logical

arrange¬

ment

of

the

controls

allows

anyone

to

become

familiar

with

the

operation

of

the

instrument

after

a

short

time,

however,

experienced

users

are

also

advised

to

read

through

these

instructions

so

that

all

damage,

the

supplier

must

be

in¬

formed

immediately.

The

instrument

must

then

not

be

put

into

operation.

Check

that

the

instrument

is

set

to

the

correct

mains/line

voltage.

If

not,

refer

to

contains

important

information

and

warnings

which

have

to

be

fol¬

lowed

by

the

user

to

ensure

safe

operation

and

to

retain

the

oscilloscope

in

safe

condition.

The

case,

chassis

and

all

measuring

terminals

are

connected

to

the

protective

shall

only

be

inserted

in

a

socket

outlet

provided

with

The

protec¬

tive

action

must

not

be

negated

by

the

use

of

an

conductor.

Warningl

Any

interruption

of

the

protective

conductor

inside

or

outside

the

instrument

or

disconnection

of

the

protective

earth

terminai

is

iikely

to

make

the

instru¬

ment

dangerous.

Intentional

interruption

of

the

protec¬

tive

earth

connection

is

prohibited.

The

mains/line

piug

should

be

inserted

before

connections

are

made

to

measuring

circuits.

The

grounded

accessible

metal

parts

(case,

sockets,

jacks)

and

the

mains/line

supply

contacts

(line,

neutral)

of

the

in¬

strument

have

been

tested

against

insulation

breakdown

with

2000Vr.m.s.

(50Hz).

Under

certain

conditions,

50

Hz

or

60

Hz

hum

voltages

can

occur

in

the

measuring

circuit

due

to

the

interconnection

with

other

mains/line

powered

equipment

or

instruments.

This

can

be

avoided

by

using

an

isolation

transformer

(Safety

Class

II).

When

displaying

waveforms

where

the

"low-level"

side

of

the

signal

is

at

a

high

potential,

even

with

the

use

of

a

protective

isolation

transformer,

it

should

be

noted

that

this

potential

is

connected

to

the

oscillo¬

scope's

case

and

other

accessible

metal

parts.

High

volt¬

ages

are

dangerous.

In

this

case,

special

safety

precautions

are

to

be

taken,

which

if,

for

example,

the

-

shows

visible

-

fails

to

perform

the

-

has

been

subjected

to

Operating

conditions

Maintenance

The

instrument

has

been

designed

for

indoor

use.

The

permissible

ambient

temperature

range

during

opera¬

tion

is

-I-10°C...

-t-40°C.

It

may

occasionally

be

subjected

to

temperatures

between

-l-10°Cand

-10°C

without

degrad¬

ing

its

safety.

The

permissible

ambient

temperature

range

for

storage

or

transportation

is

-40°C

...

-I-70°C.

The

maximum

operating

altitude

is

up

to

2200

m

(non¬

operating

15000

m).

The

maximum

relative

humidity

is

up

to

80%.

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

environ¬

ments.

The

oscilloscope

can

be

operated

in

any

position,

but

the

convection

cooling

must

not

be

impaired.

The

ven¬

tilation

holes

may

not

be

covered.

For

continuous

opera¬

tion

the

instrument

should

be

used

in

the

horizontal

posi¬

tion,

preferably

tilted

upwards,

resting

on

the

tilt

handle.

The

specifications

stating

tolerances

are

only

valid

if

the

instrument

has

warmed

up

for

30

minutes

at

an

ambient

temperature

between

-h15C°and

+30C°.

Val¬

ues

not

stating

tolerances

are

typical

for

an

average

instrument.

Guarantee

Each

instrument

runs

through

a

quality

test

with

10

hour

burn-in

before

leaving

the

production.

Practically

every

early

failure

is

detected

in

intermittent

operation

by

this

method.

However,

it

is

possible

that

a

component

fails

only

after

a

lengthy

operating

period.

Therefore

a

functional

guaran¬

tee

of

2

years

is

given

for

all

units.

The

condition

for

this

is

that

no

modifications

have

been

made

in

the

instrument.

In

the

case

of

shipments

by

post,

rail

or

carrier

it

is

recom¬

mended

that

the

original

packing

is

carefully

preserved.

Transport

damages

and

damage

due

to

gross

negligence

are

not

covered

by

the

guarantee.

In

the

case

of

a

complaint,

a

label

should

be

attached

to

the

housing

of

the

instrument

which

describes

briefly

the

faults

observed.

If

at

the

same

time

the

name

and

telephone

number

(dialing

code

and

telephone

or

direct

number

or

department

designation)

is

stated

for

possible

queries,

this

helps

towards

speeding

up

the

processing

of

guarantee

claims.

Various

important

properties

of

the

oscilloscope

should

be

carefully

checked

at

certain

intervals.

Only

in

this

way

is

it

largely

certain

that

all

signals

are

displayed

with

the

accu¬

racy

on

which

the

technical

data

are

based.

The

test

methods

described

in

the

test

plan

of

this

manual

can

be

performed

without

great

expenditure

on

measuring

instru¬

ments.

However,

purchase

of

the

new

HAM

EG

scope

test¬

er

HZ

60,

which

despite

its

low

price

is

highly

suitable

for

tasks

of

this

type,

is

very

much

recommended.

The

exterior

of

the

oscilloscope

should

be

cleaned

regularly

with

a

dusting

brush.

Dirt

which

is

difficult

to

remove

on

the

casing

and

handle,

the

plastic

and

aluminium

parts,

can

be

removed

with

a

moistened

cloth

(99%

water

-Fl

%

mild

detergent).

Spirit

or

washing

benzine

(petroleum

ether)

can

be

used

to

remove

greasy

dirt.

The

screen

may

be

cleaned

with

water

or

washing

benzine

(but

not

with

spirit

(alcohol)

or

solvents),

it

must

then

be

wiped

with

a

dry

clean

lint-free

cloth.

Under

no

circumstances

may

the

cleaning

fluid

get

into

the

instrument.

The

use

of

other

cleaning

agents

can

attack

the

plastic

and

paint

surfaces.

Switching

over

the

mains/line

voltage

The

instrument

is

set

for

220

V

line

voltage

on

delivery.

It

can

be

switched

over

to

other

voltages

at

the

fuse

holder

combined

with

the

3-pole

appliance

inlet

at

the

rear

of

the

instrument.

Firstly

the

fuse

holder

printed

with

the

voltage

values

is

removed

using

a

small

screw

driver

and

-

if

required

-

provided

with

another

fuse.

Refer

to

the

table

below

for

the

prescribed

value

of

the

fuse.

Then

replace

the

fuse

holder

so

that

the

impressed

white

triangle

points

to

the

desired

voltage.

Here

pay

attention

that

the

cover

plate

is

also

correctly

engaged.

The

use

of

repaired

or

short

circuiting

the

is

not

allowed.

Type

of

the

signal

voltage

With

the

HM

203-7,

practically

all

periodically

repeating

sig¬

nals

with

the

frequency

spectrum

below

20

MHz

can

be

examined.

The

display

of

simple

electrical

processes,

such

as

sinusoidal

RF

and

LF

signals

or

line

frequency

hum

volt¬

ages

is

straightforward.

When

recording

square-wave

or

pulse-type

signal

voltages,

it

must

be

noted

that

their

har¬

monics

must

also

be

transmitted.

The

repetition

frequency

of

the

signal

must

therefore

be

significantly

smaller

than

the

upper

limit

frequency

of

the

vertical

amplifier.

Accurate

evaluation

of

such

signals

is

only

possible

up

to

approxi¬

mately

2

MHz

repetition

frequency.

Displaying

composite

signals

can

be

difficult,

especially

if

they

contain

no

repetive

higher

amplitude

content

which

can

be

used

for

triggering.

This

is

the

case

with

bursts,

for

instance.

To

obtain

a

well-triggered

display

in

this

case,

the

assistance

of

the

variable

holdoff

and/or

variable

time

con¬

trol

may

be

required.

Television

video

signals

are

relatively

easyto

trigger

using

the

built-in

TV-Sync-Separator

with

correct

trigger

slope

setting.

For

optional

operation

as

a

DC

or

AC

voltage

amplifier,

the

vertical

amplifier

input

is

provided

with

a

DC/AC

switch.

The

DC

position

should

only

be

used

with

a

series-con¬

nected

attenuator

probe

or

at

very

low

frequencies

or

if

the

measurement

of

the

DC

voltage

content

of

the

signal

is

absolutely

necessary.

When

displaying

very

low

frequency

pulses,

the

flat

tops

may

be

sloping

with

AC

coupling

of

the

vertical

amplifier

(AC

limit

frequency

approx.

1.6

Hz

for

-3dB).

In

this

case,

DC

operation

is

preferred,

provided

the

signal

voltage

is

not

superimposed

on

a

too

high

DC

level.

Otherwise

a

capacitor

of

adequate

capacitance

must

be

connected

to

the

input

of

the

vertical

amplifier

with

DC

coupling.

This

capacitor

must

have

a

sufficiently

high

breakdown

voltage

rating.

DC

cou¬

pling

is

also

recommended

for

the

display

of

logic

and

pulse

signals,

especially

if

the

pulse

duty

factor

changes

con¬

stantly.

Otherwise

the

display

will

move

upwards

or

down¬

wards

at

each

change.

Pure

direct

voltages

can

only

be

measured

with

DC-coupling.

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

2xy~2

=

2.83.

Conversely,

it

should

be

observed

that

sinusoidal

volt¬

ages

indicated

in

(Veff)

have

2.83

times

the

potential

dif¬

ference

in

Vpp.

The

relationship

between

the

different

volt¬

age

magnitudes

can

be

seen

from

the

following

figure.

clockwise

all

the

way.

However,

smaller

signals

than

this

may

also

be

displayed.

The

deflection

coefficients

on

the

input

attenuators

are

indicated

in

mV/div.

or

V/div.

(peak-to-peak

value).

The

magnitude

of

the

applied

voltage

is

ascertained

by

multiplying

the

selected

deflection

coefficient

by

the

vertical

display

height

in

div.

If

an

attenuator

probe

xIOis

used,

a

further

multiplica¬

tion

by

a

factor

of

10

is

required

to

ascertain

the

correct

voltage

value.

For

exact

amplitude

measurements,

the

variable

con¬

trol

on

the

attenuator

switch

must

be

set

to

its

calibra¬

ted

detent

CAL.

When

turning

the

variable

control

ccw,

the

sensitivity

will

be

reduced

by

a

factor

of

2.5.

Therefore

every

intermediate

value

is

possible

within

sequence.

If

level

the

total

value

(DC

+

peak

value

of

the

alternating

voltage)

of

the

signal

across

the

Y-input

must

not

exceed

±400V

(see

figure).

This

same

limit

applies

to

normal

xIO

attenuator

probes,

the

attenuation

ratio

of

which

allows

signal

voltages

up

to

approximately

400Vpp

to

be

evaluated.

Voltages

of

up

to

approximately

2,400Vpp

may

be

measured

by

using

the

HZ53

high

voltage

probe

which

has

an

attenuation

ratio

of

100:1.

It

should

be

noted

that

its

ACpeak

value

is

derated

at

higher

frequencies.

If

a

normal

xIO

probe

is

used

to

measure

high

voltages

there

is

the

risk

that

the

compensation

trimmer

bridging

the

will

break

down

causing

damage

to

However,

if

only

the

residual

ripple

of

a

high

voltage

is

to

be

displayed

on

the

oscilloscope,

a

normal

xIO

probe

is

sufficient.

In

this

case,

an

appropriate

high

voltage

capacitor

(approx.

22-

must

be

The

to

It

in

In

it

It

Caution:

When

input,

always

use

automatic

triggering

and

set

the

DC-AC

input

coupling

switch

to

AC.

The

attenuator

switch

should

initially

be

set

to

5

V/div..

Sometimes

the

trace

will

disappear

after

an

input

signal

has

been

applied.

The

attenuator

switch

must

then

be

turned

back

to

the

left,

until

the

vertical

signal

height

is

only

3-8div.

With

a

signal

amplitude

greater

than

lOOVpp,

an

attenuator

probe

must

be

inserted

before

the

oscilloscope's

vertical

input.

If,

after

applying

the

signal,

the

is

nearly

blanked,

the

period

of

the

signal

is

probably

substantially

longer

than

the

on

switch.

It

should

be

turned

to

the

left

to

an

adequately

larger

time

coefficient.

The

signal

to

be

displayed

can

be

connected

directly

to

the

Y-input

of

the

oscilloscope

with

a

shielded

test

cable

such

as

HZ

32

and

HZ

34

or

attenuated

through

a

xIO

or

xlOO

attenuator

probe.

The

use

of

test

cables

with

high

imped¬

ance

circuits

is

only

recommended

for

relatively

low

fre¬

quencies

(up

to

approx.

50

kHz).

For

higher

frequencies,

the

signal

source

must

be

of

low

impedance,

i.e.

matched

to

the

characteristic

resistance

of

the

cable

(as

a

rule

50

Ohm).

Especially

when

transmitting

square

and

pulse

signals,

a

resistor

equal

to

the

characteristic

impedance

of

the

cable

must

also

be

connected

across

the

cable

directly

at

the

Y-

input

of

the

oscilloscope.

When

using

a

50

Ohm

cable

such

as

the

HZ

34,

a

50

Ohm

through

termination

type

HZ22

is

available

from

HAMEG.

When

transmitting

square

signals

with

short

rise

times,

transient

phenomena

on

the

edges

and

top

of

the

signal

may

become

visible

if

the

correct

ter¬

mination

is

not

used.

A

terminating

resistance

is

some¬

times

recommended

with

sine

signals

as

well.

Certain

amplifiers,

generators

or

their

attenuators

maintain

the

nominal

output

voltage

independent

of

frequency

only

if

their

connection

cable

is

terminated

with

the

prescribed

resistance.

Here

it

must

be

noted

that

the

terminating

resis¬

tor

HZ

22

will

only

dissipate

a

maximum

of

2

Watts.

This

power

is

reached

with

10

V^ms

or

-

at

28.3

Vpp

with

sine

sig¬

nal.

If

a

x10

or

x100

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.

When

using

attenuators

probes,

even

high

internal

imped¬

ance

sources

are

only

slightly

loaded

(approx.

10

MQ

II

16

pF

or

100

MQ

II

7

pF

with

HZ

53).

Therefore,

if

the

voltage

loss

due

to

the

attenuation

of

the

probe

can

be

compen¬

sated

by

a

higher

amplitude

setting,

the

probe

should

always

be

used.

The

series

impedance

of

the

probe

pro¬

vides

a

certain

amount

of

protection

for

the

input

of

the

ver¬

tical

amplifier.

Because

of

their

separate

manufacture,

all

attenuator

probes

are

only

partially

compensated,

therefore

accurate

compensation

must

be

performed

on

the

oscillo¬

scope

(see

"Probe

compensation"

page

M7).

Standard

attenuator

probes

on

the

oscilloscope

normally

reduce

its

bandwidth

and

increase

the

rise

time.

In

all

cases

where

the

oscilloscope

band

width

must

be

fully

utilized

(e.g.

for

pulses

with

steep

edges)

we

strongly

advise

using

the

modular

probes

HZ

51

(x10)

HZ52{x^

0

HF)

and

HZ54

(x1

and

xIO,

see

oscilloscope

accessories,

page

Z1).

This

can

save

the

purchase

of

an

oscilloscope

with

larger

bandwidth

and

has

the

advantage

that

defective

compo¬

nents

can

be

ordered

from

HAMEG

and

replaced

by

one¬

self.

The

probes

mentioned

havea

HF-calibration

in

addition

to

low

frequency

calibration

adjustment.

Thus

a

group

delay

correction

to

the

upper

limit

frequency

of

the

oscilloscope

is

possible

with

the

aid

of

an

1

MHz

calibrator,

e.g.

HZ60.

In

fact

the

bandwidth

and

rise

time

of

the

oscilloscope

are

not

noticably

changed

with

these

probe

types

and

the

wave¬

form

reproduction

fidelity

can

even

be

improved

because

the

probe

can

be

matched

to

the

oscilloscope's

individual

pulse

response.

If

a

xIO

orxIOO

attenuator

probe

is

used,

DC

input

cou¬

pling

must

always

be

used

at

voltages

above

400

With

AC

of

low

the

is

no

longer

can

show

Its

rat¬

ing

is

(DC

AC).

DC

input

coupling

is

therefore

of

quite

special

importance

with

a

xlOO

attenua¬

tion

probe

which

usually

has

a

voltage

rating

of

max.

1

200

V

(DC

+

peak

AC).

A

capacitor

of

corresponding

capaci¬

tance

and

voltage

rating

may

be

connected

in

series

with

the

attenuator

probe

input

for

blocking

DC

voltage

(e.g.

for

hum

voltage

measurement).

With

all

attenuator

probes,

the

maximum

AC

input

volt¬

age

must

be

derated

with

frequency

usually

above

20

kHz.

Therefore

the

derating

curve

of

the

attenuator

probe

type

concerned

must

be

taken

into

account.

The

selection

of

the

ground

point

on

the

test

object

is

impor¬

tant

when

displaying

small

signal

voltages.

It

should

always

be

as

close

as

possible

to

the

measuring

point.

If

this

is

not

done,

serious

signal

distortion

may

result

from

spurious

cur¬

rents

through

the

ground

leads

or

chassis

parts.

The

ground

leads

on

attenuator

probes

are

also

particularly

critical.

They

should

be

as

short

and

thick

as

possible.

When

the

attenuator

probe

is

connected

to

a

BNC-socket,

a

BNC-

adapter,

which

is

often

supplied

as

probe

accessory,

should

be

used.

In

this

way

ground

and

matching

problems

are

eliminated.

reduce

the

immediately

and

check

that

the

If

the

trace

is

not

visible,

check

the

correct

positions

of

all

knobs

and

switches

(particularly

AT/NORM,

To

obtain

the

from

the

tube,

the

minimum

intensity

setting

necessary

for

the

measure¬

ment

in

hand

and

the

ambient

light

conditions

should

be

used.

Particular

care

is

required

when

a

single

spot

is

dis¬

played,

as

a

very

high

intensity

setting

may

cause

damage

to

the

fluorescent

screen

of

the

CRT.

Switching

the

oscillo¬

scope

off

and

on

at

short

intervals

stresses

the

cathode

of

the

CRT

and

should

therefore

be

avoided.

The

instrument

is

so

designed

that

even

incorrect

operation

will

not

cause

serious

damage.

The

pushbuttons

control

only

minor

functions,

and

it

is

recommended

that

before

commencement

of

operation

all

pushbuttons

are

in

the

"out"

position.

After

this

the

pushbuttons

can

be

operated

depending

upon

the

mode

of

operation

required.

The

HM

203-7

accepts

all

signals

from

DC

(direct

voltage)

up

to

a

frequency

of

at

least

20MHz

(-3dB).

For

sinewave

voltages

the

upper

frequency

limit

will

be

30-35MHz.

However,

in

this

higher

frequency

range

the

vertical

display

height

on

the

screen

is

limited

to

approx.

4-5div.

The

time

resolution

poses

no

problem.

For

example,

with

25MHz

and

the

fastest

adjustable

sweep

rate

(20ns/div.),

one

cycle

will

be

displayed

every

2div.

The

tolerance

on

indicated

val¬

ues

amounts

to

±3%

in

both

deflection

directions.

All

val¬

ues

to

be

measured

can

therefore

be

determined

relatively

accurately.

However,

from

approximately

6MHz

upwards

the

measuring

error

will

increase

as

a

result

of

loss

of

gain.

At

12MHz

this

reduction

is

about

10%.

Thus,

approxi¬

mately

11

%

should

be

added

to

the

measured

voltage

at

this

frequency.

As

the

bandwidth

of

the

amplifiers

differ

(normally

between

20

and

25MHz),

the

measured

values

in

the

upper

limit

range

cannot

be

defined

exactly.

Addition¬

ally,

as

already

mentioned,

for

frequencies

above

20MHz

the

dynamic

range

of

the

display

height

steadily

decreases.

The

vertical

amplifier

is

designed

so

that

the

transmission

is

not

affected

by

its

After

this

not

the

is

obtained

The

is

therefore

fully

utilized

when

using

the

Prerequisite

for

which

also

supplies

a

at

a

of

1

The

fullfills

these

excellently

(see

The

The

with

this

If

the

both

Slow

Whether

the

is

dependent

on

The

following

must

be

noted

here:

—

Because

of

the

periodic

nature

of

the

trigonometric

func¬

tions,

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

HM

203-7

in

the

X-

can

exceed

an

angle

of

3°

above

120

kHz.

-

It

cannot

be

seen

as

a

matter

of

from

if

the

test

voltage

leads

or

lags

the

volt¬

age.

A

CR

network

before

the

test

voltage

input

of

the

oscilloscope

can

help

here.

The

1

MQ

input

resistance

can

equally

serve

as

R

here,

so

that

only

a

suitable

capacitor

C

needs

to

be

connected

in

series.

If

the

aper¬

ture

width

of

the

ellipse

is

increased

(compared

with

C

short-circuited),

then

the

test

voltage

leads

the

refer¬

ence

voltage

and

vice

versa.

This

applies

only

in

the

reg¬

ion

up

to

Therefore

C

should

be

suffi¬

ciently

large

and

produce

only

a

small

Should

both

To

must

be

This

is

possible

by

using

the

itself

or

by

an

The

should

have

a

certain

minimum

This

value

is

called

the

trigger

threshold.

It

is

measured

with

a

sine

signal.

When

the

is

taken

from

the

the

trigger

threshold

can

be

stated

as

and

The

of

is

When

Normally,

A

is

neither

necessary

nor

possible

with

automatic

triggering.

This

simple

AT

mode

is

recommended

for

all

uncompli¬

cated

tasks.

However,

automatic

triggering

is

also

the

appropriate

operation

mode

for

the

"entry"

into

dif¬

ficult

measuring

problems,

e.g.

when

the

test

signal

is

un¬

known

relating

to

amplitude,

frequency

or

shape.

Presetting

of

all

parameters

is

now

possible

with

automatic

triggering;

the

change

to

normal

triggering

can

follow

thereafter.

The

automatic

triggering

works

above

10Hz

up

to

at

least

40MHz.

The

changeover

to

the

break

down

of

the

automa¬

tic

triggering

at

frequencies

under

10Hz

is

abrupt.

How¬

ever,

it

can

not

be

recognized

by

the

this

is

still

Break

down

of

triggering

is

best

recognizable

at

the

left

screen

edge

(the

start

of

the

trace

in

differing

display

height).

The

automatic

triggering

follows

immediately

all

variations

or

fluctuations

of

the

test

signal

above

10

Hz.

However,

if

the

pulse

duty

factor

of

a

square-wave

signal

changes

so

much

that

one

part

of

the

square-wave

reduces

to

a

needle

pulse,

switching

over

to

normal

triggering

and

using

the

LEVEL

can

be

necessary.

With

automatic

triggering,

the

trigger

point

lies

approx,

in

the

zero

voltage

crossing.

The

time

interval,

required

for

the

time

base

start,

can

be

too

short

at

a

steep

of

the

Then

normal

should

be

used.

Automatic

Normal

Triggering

With

normal

triggering

(AT/NORM,

button

depressed)

and

LEVEL

adjustment,

the

sweep

can

be

started

by

signals

within

the

frequency

range

selected

by

the

TRIG,

coupling

switch.

In

the

absence

of

an

adequate

trigger

signal

or

when

the

trigger

controls

(particularly

the

LEVEL

con¬

trol)

are

misadjusted,

no

trace

is

visible,

i.e.

the

screen

blanked

completely.

When

using

the

internal

normal

triggering

mode,

it

is

possi¬

ble

to

trigger

at

any

amplitude

point

of

a

signal

edge,

even

with

very

complex

signal

shapes,

by

adjusting

the

LEVEL

control.

Its

adjusting

range

is

directly

dependent

on

the

dis¬

play

height,

which

should

be

at

least

O.Sdiv.

If

it

is

smaller

than

1

div.,

the

LEVEL

adjustment

needs

to

be

operated

with

a

sensitive

touch.

In

the

external

normal

triggering

mode,

the

same

applies

to

approx.

0.6V

external

amplitude.

Other

measures

for

triggering

of

very

complex

signals

are

the

use

of

the

and

HOLDOFF

time

control,

hereinafter

mentioned.

Slope

The

trigger

point

can

be

placed

alternatively

on

a

rising

or

fal¬

ling

edge

of

the

test

signal.

This

is

valid

with

automatic

and

with

normal

triggering.

The

selected

slope

is

set

with

the

+/—

button.

The

plus

sign

(button

released)

means

an

edge,

which

is

coming

from

a

negative

potential

and

rising

to

a

positive

potential.

That

has

nothing

to

do

with

zero

or

ground

potential

and

absolute

voltage

values.

The

positive

slope

may

also

lie

in

a

negative

part

of

a

signal.

A

falling

edge

triggers,

when

the

is

However,

with

normal

triggering,

the

trigger

point

may

be

varied

within

certain

limits

on

the

chosen

edge

using

the

LEVEL

control.

Trigger

coupling

The

coupling

mode

and

accordingly

the

frequency

range

of

the

signal

can

be

changed

using

the

switch.

However,

this

is

with

in

AC:

This

is

the

most

The

is

increasing

below

10

Hz

and

above

10MHz.

DC:

Trigger

range

DC

to

10MHz.

DC

triggering

is

recommended,

if

the

signal

is

to

be

triggered

with

quite

slow

processes

or

if

pulse

signals

with

constantly

changing

pulse

duty

fac¬

tors

have

to

be

displayed.

Always

work

with

normal

triggering

and

LEVEL

adjustment.

Otherwise

there

is

the

possibility

in

the

AT

posi¬

tion

(automatic

triggering)

that

the

trigger

point

may

change

or

that

triggering

may

not

occur

with

signals

without

zero

crossing

(e.g.

with

DC

offset).

Sometimes

triggering

is

easier

with

AC

input

coupling,

because

the

signal

then

has

its

average

value

exactly

at

the

oscilloscope's

ground

potential.

HF:

Trigger

range

1.5

kHz

to

40

MHz

(high-pass

filter).

The

HF

position

is

suitable

for

all

radio-frequency

signals.

DC

fluctuations

and

low-frequency

excess

noise

of

the

trigger

voltage

are

suppres¬

sed,

giving

a

stable

display.

The

trigger

threshold

increases

below

1.5

kHz.

LF:

Trigger

range

DC

to

50kHz

(low-pass

filter).

The

LF

position

is

often

more

suited

for

low-fre¬

signals

than

the

DC

position,

because

the

noise

in

the

So

jitter

or

double-triggering

of

is

or

at

reduced,

in

particular

with

very

low

input

The

trigger

threshold

increases

above

1

kHz.

Alternate

triggering

With

alternate

triggering

(ALT.

it

is

possible

to

use

normal

triggering

from

both

channels

simul¬

taneously

(1

and

in

alternate

DUAL

mode.

The

two

signal

frequencies

can

also

be

asymc/ironous

with

respect

to

one

another

when

doing

so.

So

that

the

two

signals

can

be

shifted

about

independently

of

one

another

on

the

scope

screen,

if

possible

AC

input

coupling

should

be

used

for

both

channels.

In

this

case

the

holds.

The

trigger

pulse

is

derived

from

the

signal

being

written

at

that

point

in

i.e.

alternately

from

the

two

It

Line

triggering

A

part

of

a

winding

voltage

of

the

trans¬

former

is

used

as

mains/line

frequency

trigger

signal

(50

to

60

Hz)

in

the

~

position

of

the

TRIG,

selector

switch.

This

trigger

mode

is

independent

of

amplitude

and

frequency

of

the

Y

signal

and

is

recommended

for

all

mains/line

syn¬

chronous

signals.

This

also

applies

-

within

certain

limits

-

to

whole

number

multiples

or

fractions

of

the

line

fre¬

quency.

Line

triggering

can

also

be

useful

to

display

signals

below

the

trigger

threshold

(less

than

5

mm).

It

is

therefore

particularly

suitable

for

measuring

small

ripple

voltages

of

mains/line

rectifiers

or

stray

magnetic

field

in

a

circuit.

Magnetic

leakage

(e.g.

from

a

power

transformer)

can

be

investigated

for

direction

and

amplitude

using

a

search

or

pick-up

coil.

The

coil

should

be

wound

on

a

small

former

with

a

maximum

of

turns

of

a

thin

lacquered

wire

and

con¬

nected

to

a

BNC

connector

(for

scope

input)

via

a

shielded

cable.

Between

cable

and

BNC

center

conductor

a

resistor

of

at

least

100Q

should

be

series-connected

(RF

decou¬

pling).

Often

it

is

advisable

to

shield

statically

the

surface

of

the

coil.

However,

no

shorted

turns

are

permissible.

Maximum,

minimum,

and

direction

to

the

magnetic

source

are

detectable

at

the

measuring

point

by

turning

and

ing

the

The

the

is

operative.

The

(horizontal

and

the

position

(vertical

are

used

for

video

triggering.

The

TRIG,

coupling

switch

is

inoperable

in

these

both

positions.

In

the

TV:

V

position

(frame

a

low-pass

filter

or

is

connected

into

cir¬

cuit,

which

forms

a

trigger

pulse

sequence

with

frame

fre¬

quency

from

the

vertical

sync

pulse

(incl.

pre-

and

post¬

equalizing

pulses).

For

accurate

function

of

the

sync

separator,

the

slope

of

the

sync

pulses

should

correctly

be

adjusted

(corresponding

to

the

position

of

the

sync

in

the

If

the

the

The

If

The

This

setting

of

the

slope

is

for

An

incorrectly

slope

results

in

an

The

The

Video

are

in

the

Therefore

the

of

is

superfluous.

The

With

With

An

This

The

of

is

obtainable

by

To

this

end

the

is

A

is

possible

with

where

the

show

a

Only

a

makes

possible.

The

the

Certain

to

integrated

All

these

components

can

be

in

out

of

circuit.

The

test

principle

is

fascinatingly

simple.

The

power

trans¬

former

of

the

oscilloscope

delivers

a

sine

voltage,

which

is

applied

across

the

component

under

test

and

a

built-in

fixed

resistor.

The

sine

voltage

across

the

test

object

is

used

for

the

horizontal

deflection,

and

the

voltage

drop

across

the

resistor

(i.e.

current

through

test

object)

is

used

for

vertical

deflection

of

the

oscilloscope.

The

test

pattern

shows

a

cur-

rent-voltage

characteristic

of

the

test

object.

Since

this

circuit

operates

with

mains/line

frequency

(50

or

60

Hz)

and

a

voltage

of

8.5

the

The

of

the

under

is

limited

to

a

range

from

20

Q

to

4.7

kQ.

Below

and

above

these

values,

the

test

pattern

shows

only

short-circuit

or

open-circuit.

For

the

interpretation

of

the

dis¬

test

pattern,

these

limits

should

always

be

borne

in

mind.

However,

most

electronic

can

normally

be

without

any

restriction.

The

This

makes

the

It

A

Testing

Resistors

If

the

test

object

has

a

linear

ohmic

resistance,

both

deflect¬

ing

voltages

are

in

the

same

phase.

The

test

pattern

expected

from

a

resistor

is

therefore

a

sloping

straight

line.

The

angle

of

slope

is

determined

by

the

resistance

of

the

resistor

under

test.

With

high

values

of

resistance,

the

slope

will

tend

towards

the

horizontal

axis,

and

with

low

val¬

ues,

the

slope

will

move

towards

the

vertical

axis.

Values

of

resistance

from

20Q

to

4.7kQ

can

be

approxi¬

mately

evaluated.

The

determination

of

actual

values

will

come

with

experience,

or

by

direct

comparison

with

a

com¬

ponent

of

a

known

value.

Testing

Capacitors

and

Inductors

Capacitors

and

inductors

cause

a

phase

difference

between

current

and

voltage,

and

therefore

between

the

X

and

Y

deflection,

giving

an

ellipse-shaped

display.

The

posi¬

tion

and

opening

width

of

the

ellipse

will

vary

according

to

the

impedance

value

(at

50

or

60

Hz)

of

the

component

under

test.

A

horizontal

ellipse

indicates

a

high

impedance

or

a

relatively

small

capacitance

or

a

relatively

high

induct¬

ance.

A

vertical

ellipse

indicates

a

small

impedance

or

a

rela¬

tively

large

capacitance

or

a

relatively

small

induct¬

ance.

A

sloping

ellipse

means

that

the

component

has

a

con¬

siderable

ohmic

resistance

in

addition

to

its

reactance.

The

values

of

capacitance

of

normal

or

electrolytic

capacitors

from

0.7p,Fto

lOOOpiF

can

be

displayed

and

approximate

values

obtained.

More

precise

measurement

can

be

obtained

in

a

smaller

range

by

comparing

the

capacitor

under

test

with

a

capacitor

of

known

value.

Induc¬

tive

components

(coils,

transformers)

can

also

be

tested.

The

determination

of

the

value

of

inductance

needs

some

experience,

because

inductors

have

usually

a

higher

ohmic

series

resistance.

However,

the

impedance

value

(at

50

or

60

Hz)

of

an

inductor

in

the

range

from

20

Q

to

4.7

k£2

can

easily

be

obtained

or

compared.

Testing

Semiconductors

Most

semiconductor

devices,

such

as

diodes,

Z-diodes,

transistors,

FETs

can

be

tested.

The

test

pattern

displays

vary

according

to

the

component

type

as

shown

in

the

figures

below.

The

main

characteristic

displayed

during

semiconductor

testing

is

the

voltage

dependent

knee

caused

by

the

junc¬

tion

changing

from

the

conducting

state

to

the

non

conduct¬

ing

state.

It

should

be

noted

that

both

the

forward

and

the

reverse

characteristic

are

displayed

simultaneously.

This

is

a

two-terminal

test,

therefore

testing

of

transistor

amplifica¬

tion

is

not

possible,

but

testing

of

a

single

junction

is

easily

and

quickly

possible.

Since

the

CT

test

voltage

applied

is

only

very

low

(max.

8.5Vrms),

all

sections

of

most

semicon¬

ductors

can

be

tested

without

damage.

However,

checking

the

breakdown

or

reverse

voltage

of

high

voltage

semicon¬

ductors

is

not

possible.

More

important

is

testing

compo¬

nents

for

open

or

short-circuit,

which

from

experience

is

most

frequently

needed.

Testing

Diodes

Diodes

normally

show

at

least

their

knee

in

the

forward

characteristic.

This

is

not

valid

for

some

high

voltage

diode

types,

because

they

contain

a

series

connection

of

several

diodes.

Possibly

only

a

small

portion

of

the

knee

is

visible.

Z-

diodes

always

show

their

forward

knee

and,

up

to

approx.

10V,

their

Z-breakdown,

forms

a

second

knee

in

the

oppo¬

site

direction.

A

Z-breakdown

voltage

of

more

than

12V

can

not

be

displayed.

The

Testing

Transistors

Three

different

tests

can

be

made

to

transistors:

base-emit¬

ter,

base-collector

and

emitter-collector.

The

resulting

test

patterns

are

shown

below.

The

basic

equivalent

circuit

of

a

transistor

is

a

Z-diode

between

base

and

emitter

and

a

normal

diode

with

reverse

polarity

between

base

and

collector

in

series

connection.

are

three

different

If

For

a

transistor

the

figures

b-e

and

b-c

are

important.

The

figure

e-c

can

vary;

but

a

vertical

line

only

shows

short

cir¬

cuit

condition.

These

transistor

test

patterns

are

valid

in

most

cases,

but

there

are

exceptions

to

the

rule

(e.g.

Darlington,

FETs).

With

the

CT,

the

distinction

between

a

P-N-P

to

a

N-P-N

transis¬

tor

is

discernible.

In

case

of

doubt,

comparison

with

a

known

type

is

helpful.

It

should

be

noted

that

the

same

socket

connection

(CT

o

r

ground)

for

the

same

terminal

is

then

absolutely

necessary.

A

connection

effects

a

rotation

of

the

test

pattern

by

180

degrees

round

about

the

center

point

of

the

scope

graticule.

Pay

attention

to

the

usual

caution

with

single

MOS-

components

relating

to

static

charge

or

frictional

elec¬

tricity!

In-Circuit

Tests

Caution!

During

in-circuit

tests

make

sure

the

circuit

is

dead.

No

power

from

mains/line

or

battery

and

no

sig¬

nal

inputs

are

permitted.

Remove

all

ground

connec¬

tions

including

Safety

Earth

(pull

out

power

plug

from

outlet).

Remove

all

measuring

cables

including

probes

between

oscilloscope

and

circuit

under

test.

Otherwise

both

CT

test

leads

are

not

isolated

against

the

circuit

under

test.

In-circuit

tests

are

possible

in

many

cases.

However,

they

are

not

so

well-defined.

This

is

caused

by

a

shunt

connec¬

tion

of

real

or

complex

impedances

-

especially

if

they

are

of

relatively

low

impedance

at

50

or

60

Hz

-

to

the

compo¬

nent

under

test,

often

results

differ

greatly

when

compared

with

single

components.

In

case

of

doubt,

one

component

terminal

may

be

unsoldered.

This

terminal

should

then

be

connected

to

the

insulated

CT

socket

avoiding

hum

distor¬

tion

of

the

test

pattern.

Another

way

is

a

test

pattern

comparison

to

an

identical

cir¬

cuit

which

is

known

to

be

operational

(likewise

without

power

and

any

external

connections).

Using

the

test

prods,

identical

test

points

in

each

circuit

can

be

checked,

and

a

defect

can

be

determined

quickly

and

easily.

Possibly

the

device

itself

under

test

contains

a

reference

circuit

(e.g.

a

second

stereo

channel,

push-pull

amplifier,

symmetrical

bridge

circuit),

which

is

not

defective.
