When using other model of the oscilloscope, the digital storage function is required.
Equipment Required
Digital Storagescope DS-8706
Lead Wire
Loupe (Magnifying glass)
USB-100
AC-1L or AC-2L
PC (IBM PC/AT Compatible Computer) with 2779 Adjustment Program installed
Preparation
1. Remove BACK COVER ASSY from the body.
2. Solder the lead wire to connect to GND of the LCD. (Fig. 2)
3. Connect the lead wire to the GND line of the probe of Digital Storagescope DS-8706.
4. Start “2779Adj.exe”.
5. Connect the camera to the computer with USB cable and set to Adjustment mode.
Digital Storagescope DS-8706 Setup
1. Connect the CH1 or CH2 probes to Digital Storagescope DS-8706.
2. Set the probe to the magnification “x1”.

5. Adjust the height of the center of 2766 LB Chart II and that of lens of the camera. (Fig.2)
6. Adjust the line of floor and the lens center, and set up the distance between CCD face and 2766 LB Chart II
at 1670 +/- 3mm.
7. Turn on the camera.
8. Look through EVF, and adjust the camera so that the center of the chart aligns with the center of the
image on EVF. Zoom to equal the space between 2766 LB Chart IIand EVF. (Fig.3)
Fasten the CCD holder adjustment 3 screws until they stop.
9. Complete the setup of the camera and the chart if the 5, 6, 8 are all done.
