Features
The
7B10
Time-Base
unit provides
calibrated
sweep rates
from
.2
seconds to
2
nanoseconds
and triggering
to
1
gigahertz for 7100-,
77CX3-, 7800-, and
79CXD-series
oscilloscopes.
A
X10 Magnifier
increases each
sweep
rate
by a
factor of
10 and a
VARIABLE
TIME/DIV
control
provides
continuously
variable
sweep rates
between calibrated
steps.
Variable
hold off
and alpha-numeric
readout are
provided.
Also,
when
operating in the
AUTO TRIGGERING
MODE, a
bright baseline
trace
is displayed in
the absence
of
a
trigger
signal.
The
7B10 can be operated
as an independent time
base or as a delayed-sweep unit
with
a companion delaying
time-base
unit.

TRIGGERING
LEVEL Control—
Selects a point
on the trigger
signal
where
triggering
occurs.
SLOPE
Switch Permits
sweep to be triggered
on negative
or
positive-going
portions
of the trigger signal.
READY
Indicator—
Illuminates
when sweep
circuit is
armed
(SINGLE
SWP Mode).
TRIG'D Indicator—
Illuminates
when the display
is
triggered.
MODE
Pushbuttons—
Selects the
operating mode
of the
triggering
circuit.
COUPLING
Pushbuttons—
Selects the
method of
coupling
the trigger
signal
to triggering
circuit.
SOURCE
Pushbuttons—Selects
source
of the trigger
signal.
SWEEP
POSITION Control
—Provides
horizontal
positioning.
FINE
Control—Provides
precise horizontal
positioning.
MAG
Pushbutton—Selects
magnified
X10 or
unmagnified
sweep.
HOLD OFF Control—
Permits hold
off period
to bo
varied
to improve
trigger
stability
on repetitive
complex
waveforms.
TIME/DIV
Selector—
Selects the
sweep
rate of
the sweep
generator.
VARIABLE
Control and
CAL Switch—
Selects
calibrated
