22. The trigger signal will come
from
right
vertical.
When the LEFT button
is
pressed
of
the TRIG
SOURCE switch
the displav
is not stable because there is
no input signal
connected to
the left vertical. Return the

to VERT
MODE.

23. Position the start of
the sweep to the
left
graticule

time-base unit
position
control.
24. Connect a
10X
probe
to the
input
of the right
vertical
unit. Set the right
vertical unit for a deflection
factor of
10 volts/division and
set the VERT MODE switch
to
RIGHT. Set the time-base
unit for a sweep rate of five
m illiseconds/d iv
ision.
25. Connect the
probe
tip to a
line-voltage source. The
display should show
three complete cycles over the 10
divisions within
0.3 division. A correct display
indicates
that the
7603
Horizontal Deflection System
and
the
time-base
plug-in
unit are
correctly calibrated.
lf
the display
is
outside the
given
tolerance, either the
7603
or the
time-base
unit needs to be recalibrated.
Refer to the
Calibration
section of this manual. and to the time-base
unit manual for adjustment
procedure.
NOTE
This step
is based on an
accurate 60-Hertz line
frequency.
For other line
frequencies,
this
procedure
will need to be changed accordingly.
26. Disconnect
the
probe
from
the
line-voltage
source
and the
right
vertical
unit
and
connect the
probe
to the
left
vertical
unit.
Set the VERT
MODE
switch
to
LEFT
and set
the time-base
unit for
a sweep
rate
of 0.5
millisecond/
division.
Beam
Finder
27. Set the deflection factor of the
left vertical
unit to
0.1 volt/division.
Notice that a square-wave
display
is not
visible. since
the deflection exceeds the scan area of the
CRT.
28. Press and
hold the BEAM FINDER switch. Notice
that the
display
is
returned to the viewing area
in
compressed form.
Increase the vertical
and
horizontal
def lection factors until the displav
is
reduced to about two
divisions vertically and
horizontally

def lection factor
of
the vertical
unit).
Adjust
the
position
controls
of the displayed
vertical
unit
and the time-base
unit to center the compressed display
about the center lines
of
the
graticule.
Release
the
BEAM FINDER
switch. Notice
that the display remains within the viewing
area.
Z-Axis lnput
29. lf
an external signal
is
available
(five
volts
peak-to-
peak
minimum at two
megahertz
or
less), the
function
of
the
EXT Z AXIS input can be
demonstrated. Connect
the
external
signal to both
the
input
of the right vertical
unit
and the EXf Z
AXIS
connector with two BNC
cables
and a
BNC T
connector. Set the
VERT l\4ODE
switch to RIGHT
and
set the vertical unit for
a deflection factor
of two
volts/division. Set
the
time-base
unit for a sweeD
rate which
displays several cycles
of
the signal. Adjust
the
amplitude of
the signal
generator
until intensity modulation
is visible
on
the display.
The
positive peaks
of
the
waveform should be
blanked
out and the
negative
peaks
intensified. Notice
that
the setting of the INTENSITY control
determines the
amount of
intensity modulation
that is visible.
30. Disconnect
the signal
f rom
the EXT Z AX lS
connector, but
leave it connected
to the
right vertical
unit
input.
Check
that
peak-to-peak
amplitude
of the displayed
signal
is
four
divisions
maximum.

Single-Trace Display
The

procedure
will
provide
a display
of
a
single-trace
vertical unit
against
one time-base
unit. For
simplicity
of explanation,
the vertical
unit is installed
in
the
left

right vertical
compartment
can be used if
the
procedure
is
changed
accordingly.
