OPERATING CONSIDERATIONS
2213 Operators
This section contains basic operating information and
techniques that should be considered before attempting
any measurements.
GRATICULE
The graticule is internally marked on the faceplate of
the crt to enable accurate measurements without parallax
error (see Figure 8). It is marked with eight vertical and ten
horizontal major divisions. Each major division is divided
into five subdivisions. The vertical deflection factors and
horizontal timing are calibrated to the graticule so that
accurate measurements can be made directly from the crt.
Also, percentage markers for the measurement of rise and
fall times are located on the left side of the graticule.

SIGNAL CONNECTIONS
Generally, probes offer the most convenient means of
connecting an input signal to the instrument. They are
shielded to prevent pickup of electromagnetic interference,
and the supplied 10X probe offers a high input impedance
that minimizes circuit loading. This allows the circuit under
test to operate with a minimum of change from its normal
condition as measurements are being made.
Coaxial cables may also be used to connect signals to the
input connectors, but they may have considerable effect on
the accuracy of a displayed waveform. To maintain the
original frequency characteristics of an applied signal,
only high-quality, low-loss coaxial cables should be used.
Coaxial cables should be terminated at both ends in their
characteristic impedance. If this is not possible, use suitable
impedance-matching devices.

GROUNDING
The most reliable signal measurements are made when
the 2213 and the unit under test are connected by a com-
mon reference (ground lead), in addition to the signal lead
or probe. The probe’s ground lead provides the best
grounding method for signal interconnection and ensures
the maximum amount of signal-lead shielding in the probe
cable. A separate ground lead can also be connected from
the unit under test to the oscilloscope GND connector
located on the front panel.
4115-16
When the input coupling switch is set to GND, the input
signal is connected to ground through the input coupling
capacitor in series with a
l-MS2
resistor to form a
precharging network. This network allows the input coupling
capacitor to charge to the average dc-voltage level of the
signal applied to the probe. Thus, any large voltage
transients that may accidentally be generated will not be
applied to the amplifier input when the input coupling
switch is moved from GND to AC. The
precharging
network also provides a measure of protection to the external
circuitry by reducing the current levels that can be drawn
from the external circuitry during capacitor charging.
The following procedure should be used whenever the
probe tip is connected to a signal source having a different
dc level than that previously applied, especially if the
level difference is more than 10 times the
VOLTS/DIV
dc-
switch setting:
1. Set the AC-GND-DC switch to GND before con-
necting the probe tip to a signal source.
2. Insert the probe tip into the oscilloscope GND
connector.
@

2213 Operators
3. Wait several seconds for the input coupling capacitor
to discharge.
4. Connect the probe tip to the signal source.
5. Wait several seconds for the input coupling capacitor
to charge.
6. Set the AC-GND-DC switch to AC. The display will
remain on the screen, and the ac component of the signal
can be measured in the normal manner.
INSTRUMENT COOLING
To maintain adequate instrument cooling, the ventilation holes on both sides and rear panel of the equipment
cabinet must remain free of obstructions.
INSTRUMENT FAMILIARIZATION
INTRODUCTION
The procedures in this section are designed to assist you
in quickly becoming familiar with the 2213. They provide
information which demonstrates the use of all the controls,
connectors, and indicators and will enable you to efficiently operate the instrument.
Before proceeding with these instructions, verify that
the POWER switch is OFF (push button out), then plug
the power cord into the ac-power-input-source outlet.
If during the performance of these procedures an improper indication or instrument malfunction is noted, first
verify correct operation of associated equipment. Should
the malfunction persist, refer the instrument to qualified
service personnel for repair or adjustment.

sources of measurement error. Most attenuator probes
are equipped with compensation adjustment. To ensure
optimum measurement accuracy, always compensate the
oscilloscope probe before making measurements. Probe
compensation is accomplished as follows:

the waveform displayed is the difference
between the signals applied to the Channel 1 and Channel 2

ADD mode is equal to the deflection factor indicated by
either

The ADD mode can also be used to display signals

undesirable components can be eliminated through
common-mode rejection. The precautions given under the
preceding “Algebraic Addition” procedure should be
observed.

DELAYED-SWEEP MAGNIFICATION
The delayed-sweep feature of the 2213 can be used to
provide higher apparent magnification than is provided by
the X10 Magnifier switch. Apparent magnification occurs
as a result of displaying a selected portion of the trace
(INTENS
(DLY’D HORIZONTAL MODE).
intensified zone indicates both the location and the start
of the sweep that will be displayed in DLY’D HORIZONTAL MODE. Positioning of the intensified zone
(i.e.,setting the amount of time between start of the
sweep and start of the intensified zone) is accomplished
with the MULTIPLIER control and the DELAY TIME
Range Selector switch. At higher sweep speeds the delay
time can be adjusted to allow the starting point of the
intensified zone to occur past the end of the display.

MULTIPLIER control provide continuously variable
positioning of the start of the delayed sweep. The DELAY
TIME Range Selector switch allows the start of the intensified zone to be placed near the point of interest, while
the MULTIPLIER control provides fine adjustment of the
intensified zone.
When viewing aperiodic signals (such as complex digital
waveforms) with DLY’D HORIZONTAL MODE selected,
the start of the sweep may not be at the same point as the
start of the intensified zone. It may be necessary to connect
a reference signal (of the system under test) to the EXT
INPUT connector to ensure correct display of the selected
portion of the waveform.
Using delayed-sweep magnification may produce a
display with some slight horizontal movement (pulse jitter).
Pulse jitter includes not only the inherent uncertainty of
triggering the delayed sweep at exactly the same trigger
point each time, but also jitter that may be present in the
input signal. If pulse jitter needs to be measured, use the
“Pulse Jitter Time Measurement” procedure which follows
the discussion of “Magnified Sweep.”

The following procedure explains how to operate the
delayed-sweep feature and to determine the resulting
apparent magnification factor.
1. Preset instrument controls and obtain a baseline trace.
2. Apply the signal to either vertical channel input
connector and set the VERTICAL MODE switch to display
the channel used.
3. Set the appropriate

center the display.
