channel has ten calibrated deflection factors from 5milli-
volts/division to 5volts/division selected in a1-2-5 se-
quence. The horizontal deflection system has calibrated
sweep rates of 0.5 seconds/division to 0.05 microseconds/
division in 22 steps. It also has delayed sweep rates of 50
milliseconds/division to 0.05 microseconds/division in 19
steps. Aten times magnifier expands each horizontal sweep
