General
Information
The
Tektronix
Type
519
Oscilloscope
is
a
wide-band
laboratory
instrument
designed
expressly
for
the
observation
and
measurement
of
high-frequency
phenomena.
Fast
linear
sweeps,
high
CRT
accelerating
potential,
excellent
triggering
sensitivity,
wide-band
trigger
system,
and
vertical
bandwidth
well
beyond
1000
megacycles
permit
accurate
repetitive
and
single-shot
displays
to
be
observed
and
photographed
from
tractional-nanosecond
signals.
An
inter-
nal
delay
line
in
the
vertical
channel
of
the
instrument
permits
display
of
the
leading
edge
of
the
signal
triggering
the
oscilloscope.
Sweep
delay
control
through
35
nano-
seconds
permits
viewing
signals
before
and
after
the
main
signal
event.
The
Type
519
incorporates
two
internal
waveform
gen-
erators.
An
adjustable
repetition-rate
fast-rise
pulse
gen-
erator
and
a_
fast-rise
calibration-step
generator
supply
waveforms
which
can
be
used
to
check
the
calibration
of
the
oscilloscope
itself,
or
to
drive
external
devices.
These
wave-
form
generators
meet
most
requirements
to
complete
a
test
setup.

Introduction
>
The
Type
519
Oscilloscope
is
a
high
speed
laboratory
instrument
designed
for
observing,
measuring,
and
photo-
graphically
recording
phenomena
in
the
nanosecond
{milli-
microsecond)
domain.
However,
before
the
instrument
can
be
used
successfully,
it
is
important
for
you
to
have
an
un-
derstanding
of
the
operation
of
each
control.
This
section
of
the
Instruction
Manual
is
intended
to
help
you
acquire
this
understanding.
Much
of
the
familiarity
with
the
controls
will
come
only
with
actual
use
of
the
instrument.
A
brief
description
of
each
of
the
front-panel
controls
follows.

are
shown
in

RANGE
Selects
full-scale
amplitude
of
the
cali-
brated
steps,
a
variable
uncalibrated
step
amplitude,
or
a

to
be
preset
to
an
arbitrary
desired
amplitude
up
to
about
50
volts
into
a
