Between

the

and

has

been

inserted.

This

is

a

In

the

position

the

leads

of

the

pre

and

the

electronic

are

interchanged

so

that

the

is

inverted

In

of

the

switch

the

is

dis-

connected

from

the

by

means

of

the

electronic

switch.

When

are

switched

off,

the

pulse

is

stopped

and

no

are

fed

to

the

cathode-ray

The

INV-OFF-NORMAL-switch

(SK4)

is

followed

by

the

electronic

switch

consisting

of

diodes

GR104,

A

is

If

the

counter

is

negative

with

respect

to

the

level

of

the

output

stage,

diodes

GR106...GR109

will

be

blocked

while

GR104

and

are

conductive.

This

means

that

the

relevant

pre

is

connected

to

the

output

stage.

If

the

of

the

is

with

of

The

The

is

then

supplied

with

As

which

are

part

TRIGG.

A,

(SK17).

The

triggersignal

is

fed

to

a

consisting

of:

—

a

push-pull

series

and

shunt

feedback

circuit

(TS601—

PULSE

GENERATOR

This

generator

comprises

a

blocking

oscillator

(Fig.

In

position

CHOPPED

(SK18),

switch

SK18b

is

opened.

The

base

of

TS707,

which

is

determined

by

voltage

R756

—

is

such

that

the

blocking

oscillator

is

free

The

repetition

of

the

oscillator

signal

is

determined

by

the

time

constant

of

the

RC

-network

in

the

emitter

circuit

of

TS707

and

amounts

to

2

MHz.

When

the

base

potential

is

equal

to

or

positive

with

respect

to

the

emitter

potential,

the

oscillator

stops.

This

happens

in

two

cases:

—

When

three

amplifiers

are

switched

off.

By

means

of

diode

GR701

the

base

potential

will

be

driven

to

a

positive

value

with

respect

to

the

emitter

and

the

blocking

oscillator

will

be

switched

off,

so

that

no

further

pulses

come

from

the

oscillator

and

no

beam

suppression

takes

place.

—

In

position

ALTERNATE

(SK18)

switch

SK18e

is

closed.

Resistor

R757

is

short-circuited

and

the

base

potential

will

be

equal

to

the

emitter

potential.

At

the

same

time

the

alternate

pulse

from

the

PM

3330

will

be

fed

to

the

base

of

TS706

after

differentiation

by

C714

—

R752.

The

collector

of

this

transistor

is

connected

to

a

winding

S3

of

the

blocking

transformer

so

that

an

incoming

alternate

pulse

produces

a

negative

pulse

on

the

base

of

TS707.

Consequently

the

blocking

oscillator

will

operate

once

for

each

arriving

alternate

pulse.

Winding

S3

also

serves

to

supply

the

blanking

pulse.

Diode

GR702,

connected

in

parallel

to

S3,

ensures

that,

when

the

blocking

oscillator

is

switched

off

rapidly,

the

polarity

of

the

voltage

across

the

trans-

former

does

not

change;

this

could

cause

undesirable

restarting

of

the

ring

counter.

F.

RING

COUNTER

(Fig.

20}

The

ring

counter

consists

of

four

emitter

coupled

transistors

TS701...TS704,

so

connected

that

if

one

draws

current,

the

other

three

are

blocked.

This

has

been

achieved

by

coupling

the

collector

of

each

transistor

to

the

base

of

the

other

three,

by

means

of

voltage

dividers.

The

collectors

of

the

transistors

are

also

capacitively

(C701...C704)

coupled

to

the

base

of

the

sistor

via

the

INVERT

-OFF

-NORMAL

switch

(SK4,

SK8,

12,

16).

At

each

incoming

positive

pulse

from

the

blocking

oscillator

the

current

through

the

conductive

transistor

will

fall

off

to

zero

for

a

moment,

so

that

the

collector

becomes

positive.

Via

the

above

-mentioned

capacitor

this

surge

is

fed

to

the

base

of

the

which

becomes

conduc-

tive.

This

process

is

repeated

each

pulse

from

the

blocking

oscillator

(in

position

CHOPPED

every

500

ns

and

in

position

ALTERNATE

at

every

fl

y

-back

of

the

time

base).

The

pulse

generator

is

coupled

to

the

ring

counter

by

means

of

a

diode

so

that

only

the

peak

of

the

pulse

is

fed

to

the

ring

counter.

The

are

The

collectors

of

the

ring

counter

are

connected

to

the

electronic

As

already

mentioned

in

chapter

V

A,

the

relevant

channels

can

be

switched

on

or

off

with

a

negative

and

positive

voltage

respectively.

If

a

channel

switch

position

OFF),

the

transistor

in

the

ring

counter

corresponding

to

this

channel

is

cut

off

by

connecting

the

base

to

the

negative

supply

voltage

via

a

resistor

(R702

or

R704

or

R707

or

R709).

Moreover,

the

capacitor

connected

between

the

pre-

ceeding

collector

and

the

relevant

base

is

switched

over

to

the

base

of

the

transistor.

The

Checking

A.

GENERAL

The

tolerances

mentioned

are

factory

tolerances;

they

apply

when

the

apparatus

is

readjusted

completely.

They

may

differ

from

the

data

given

in

II.

With

the

aid

of

these

data,

it

is

possible

to

carry

out

all

the

adjustments

to

four

-trace

unit

PM

3344

and

to

check

the

proper

working

of

the

plug-in

unit.

For

this,

the

unit

should

be

inserted

into

the

Y

-plug-in

compartment

of

a

correctly

adjusted

basic

oscilloscope

PM

3330.

Some

of

the

adjusting

elements

areon

the

right-hand

side

of

the

unit

and

are

not

directly

accessible.

When

these

elements

should

be

adjusted,

the

unit

should

be

connected

to

the

basic

oscilloscope

via

the

rigid

extension

plug.

(for

the

code

number

of

this

plug,

see

the

list

of

accessories

of

PM

3330).

For

a

complete

adjustment

of

the

instrument

the

sequence

as

described

in

this

chapter

is

to

be

preferred.
