SECTION

I

CHARACTERISTICS

Introduction

The

Type

1A2

Dual-Trace

Plug-In

Unit

contains

two

identi-

cal

fast-rise

calibrated

preamplifier

channels.

Either

chan-

nel

can

be

used

independently,

or

electronically

switched

to

produce

dual-trace

displays.

In

addition,

both

channels

can

be

combined

at

the

output,

adding

or

subtracting

according

to

the

settings

of

the

polarity

switches.

Each

channel

has

its

own

input

coupling,

attenuator,

gain,

polarity

and

position controls

which

allows

each

display

to

be

adjusted

independently

for

optimum

viewing.

There

are

two

modes

of

dual-trace

operation:

Chopped

or

Alternate.

In

the

chopped

mode,

an

internal

multivibra-

tor

switches

the

channels

at

a

free-running

rate

of

about

220

kHz.

In

the

alternate

mode,

the

oscilloscope

time-base

generator

internally

switches

the

channels

at

the

end

of

each

sweep

during

the

retrace

interval.

The

Type

1A2

can

be

used

with

any

of

the

Tektronix

530-,

540-,

or

550-series

Oscilloscopes.

It

can

also

be

used

with

the

580-series

Oscilloscopes

in

conjunction

with

the

Type

81

or

81A

Plug-In

Adapter.

The

Type

1A2

can

also

be

used

with

other

oscilloscopes

and

devices

through

the use

of

the

Type

127,

132,

or

133

FIRST

TIME

OPERATION

The

following

procedure

will

help

you

become

familiar

with

the

Type

1A2

operation.

1.

Insert

the

Type

1A2

into

the

oscilloscope,

tighten

the

securing

rod

and

turn

on

the

oscilloscope

power.

2.

Allow

about

2

to

3

minutes

warm-up

time

and

free

run

the

oscilloscope

sweep

at

0.5

sec/cm.

3.

Set the

applicable

Type

1A2

for

both

channels

one

centimeter

below

the

line

with

the

Channel!

POSITION

control.

6.

Place

the

MODE

switch

to

ALT.

Both

Channel

1

and

2

traces

should

be

displayed.

7.

Set the

oscilloscope

Time/Cm

switch

to

50

msec.

Note

that

for

each

sweep

cycle

one

channel

is

displayed

and

the

other

is

shut

off.

Electronic

switching

from one

channel

to

the

other

occurs

during

the

retrace

interval.

8.

Set

the

MODE

switch

to

CHOP.

Notice

that

both

traces

seem

to

start

simultaneously

and

continue

across

the

CRT.

9.

Set the

oscilloscope

Time/Cm

switch

to

5ysec

and

adjust

the

oscilloscope

trigger

controls

to

obtain

a

stable

display.

Notice

that

each

trace

is

composed

of

many

short-

duration

bits

or

segments

with

visible

switching

transients

existing

between

channels

(see

Fig.

2-1A).

10.

To

see

the

chopped-mode

switching

action

clearly,

increase

the

sweep

rate

to

1

wsec/cm.

Notice

that

Channels

1

and

2

are

alternately

on

and

off

at

about

2

us

intervals.

(See

Fig.

2-1B.)

Chopping

rate

is

determined

by

the

free-

running

multivibrator

switching

rate

and

is

about

220

kHz.

11.

Blank

out

the

switching

transients

between

channels

by

setting

the

CRT

Cathode

Selector

switch

(located

on

the

rear

panel

of

most

Tektronix

oscilloscopes)

to

the

Dual-Trace

Chopped

Blanking

position

(see

Fig.

2-1C).

12.

Set

the

oscilloscope

Time/Cm

switch

to

0.5

msec.

Using

coaxial

cables,

a T

connected

to

Channel

1

and

The

should

be

indicating

the

algebraic

difference

between

the

two

signals.

Since

both

signals

have

equal

amplitudes

and

wave-

shape,

the

difference

is

zero.

NOTE

If

the

display

is

not

this

indicates

that

the

of

the

channels

are

not

This

may

be

overlooked

until

cedure

is

completed.

Subsequent

Before

the

GENERAL

OPERATION

Either

of

the

two

channels

of

the

Type

1A2

can

be

used

independently

by

setting

the

MODE

switch

to

CH

1

or

CH

2

and

connecting

the

signal

to

be

observed

to

the

appropriate

input.

Table

2-1

lists

several

input

systems

compatible

with

the

Type

1A2

input.

Fig.

2-2

shows

a

block

diagram

of

the

input

when

using

the

system

outlined

in

Method

7

of

Table

2-1.

Figure

2-3

shows

the

X,

and

R

curves

for

the

Type

1A2.

Use

of

Probes

A

conventional

passive

attenuator

probe

with

a

standard

42-inch

cable

lessens

both

capacitive

and

resistive

loading,

but

at

the

same

time

reduces

sensitivity.

The

attenuation

introduced

by

the

probe

permits

measurement

of

signal

volt-

ages

that

would

overscan

the

CRT

if

applied

directly

to

the

Type

1A2.

However,

in

applying

high-amplitude

signal

volt-

ages

to

either

the

probe

or

Type

1A2,

do

not

exceed

their

maximum

voltage

ratings.

When

making

amplitude

meas-

urements

with

an

attenuator

probe,

be

sure

to

multiply

the

observed

amplitude

by

the

probe

attenuation

factor.

To

assure

the

accuracy

of

pulse

or

high-frequency

measure-

ments,

check

the

probe

compensation.

To

make

the

adjust-

ment,

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Set

the

oscilloscope

Amplitude

Calibrator

for

a

calibra-

tor

output

signal

of

suitable

amplitude

(at

least

2

cm).

2.

Place

the

MODE

switch

to

the

appropriate

channel

set-

ing

(CH

1

or

CH

2)

to

be

used

with

the

probe.

3.

Touch

the

probe

tip

to

the

calibrator

output

connector

and

adjust

the

oscilloscope

controls

to

display

several

cycles

of

the

waveform.

4,

Adjust

the

probe

compensation

for

best

square-wave

response

as

shown

in

the

right-hand

picture

of

Fig.

2-4.

NOTE

If

a

square-wave

source

other

than

the

oscilloscope

calibrator

is

used

for

compensating

the

probe,

do

not

use

a

repetition

rate

higher

than

5

kHz.

At

higher

repetition

rates, the

waveform

amplitude

appears

to

change

as

the

probe

is

compensated.

Thus,

proper

compensation

is

difficult.

If

the

probe

remains

improperly

compensated,

measurements

will

be

inaccurate.

Switch

To

the

switch

to

DC;

to

display

only

the

AC

component

of

a

signal,

set

the

AC-DC-GND

switch

to

AC.

In

the

AC

position

of

the

switch,

the

DC

component

of

the

signal

is

blocked

by

a

capacitor

in

the

input

circuit.

The

input

time

constant

of

the

input

circuit

is

about

0.1

second

and

the

low-frequency

response

of

the

unit

is

down

dB

at

about

2Hz.

If

a

10X

attenuator

probe

is

used

with

the

Type

1A2,

the

low-frequency

response

will

be

extended

to

about

0.2

with

about

Placing

the

to

the

GND

position

grounds

the

input

circuit

of

the

Type

1A2

to

provide

a

DC

2-4

zero

reference.

When

the

AC-DC-GND

switch

is

set

to

GND,

the

switch

internally

disconnects

but

does

not

ground

the

applied

signal

at

the

input

connector.

The

GND

position

of

the

switch

eliminates

the

need

for

externally

grounding

the

of

the

or

to

establish

the
