CHARACTERISTICS

General

The

Type

3B3

Time

Base

Unit

is

a

plug-in

time

designed

for

use

with

Tektronix

Types

561A,

RM561A,

564,

567

and

RM567

Oscilloscopes.

The

Type

3B3

provides

normal

or

delayed

sweeps

at

20

calibrated

rates

from

0.5

microseconds

per

division

to

1

second

per

division.

In

delayed

sweep

operation,

the

Type

3B3

gives

continuous

calibrated

sweep

delay

from

0.5

microsecond

to

10

seconds

after

receipt

of

a

triggering

impulse.

Sweep

Rates

Both

normal

and

delayed

sweep

rates

from

0.5

micro-

second

per

division

to

1

second

division

in

20

cali-

brated

steps.

A

variable

control

provides

uncalibrated

sweep

rates

between

steps

and

also

extends

the

slower

rate

to

approximately

2.5

seconds

per

division.

Calibrated

sweep

rates

for

both

normal

and

delayed

sweeps

are

typically

within

1%,

and

in

all

cases

within

3%

of

the

TIME/DIV.

and

Sweep

Magnification

The

display

can

be

magnified

5

times,

extending

both

the

normal

and

to

0.1

Sweep

Delay

The

is

continuously

from

0.5

(Cont'd)

General

This

section

explains

the

use

of

the

Type

3B3

as

part

of

an

oscilloscope

system,

the

function

of

the

Type

3B3's

front

panel

controls,

operating

procedures

peculiar

to

the

Type

3B3,

and

how

to

display

a

signal.

Use

The

Type

3B3

Plug-In

Time

Base

Generator

is

normally

used

as

part

of

an

oscilloscope

system

composed

of

the

Type

3B3,

one

of

the

Tektronix

oscilloscopes

listed

in

Section

1,

and

an

appropriate

vertical

amplifier

plug-in.

When

properly

operated,

the

system

can

(a)

determine

if

a

certain

event

is

happening,

(b}

make

accurate

measurements

of

the

event,

and

{c}

display

the

representation

of

the

event

in

a

manner

that

permits

photographing.

The

functions

of

the

Type

3B3

in

such

a

system

are

threefold:

it

provides

accurate

time

bases

for

precisely

measuring

the

time

dimensions

of

the

event

being

analyzed;

it

provides

a

versatile

trigger

cir-

cuit

to

assure

positive

synchronization

of

the

time

bases

with

the

event,

and

the

single

sweep

feature

provides

exposure

control

when

the

display

is

to

be

photographed.

In

as-

sembling

an

oscilloscope

system,

the

Type

3B3

is

inserted

in

the

X-axis

(right

hand)

opening

of

the

oscilloscope.

The

vertical

amplifier

plug-in

(a

non-sampling

vertical

amplifier

of

the

‘3’

series

such

as

the

Type

3AT)

is

inserted

in

the

Y-axis

(left-hand}

opening.

Function

of

Front

Panel

Controls

and

Connectors

The

front

panel

controls

and

connectors

on

the

Type

3B3

are

grouped

into

blocks

according

to

the

sweep

circuit

in

which

they

function.

The

blocks

of

controls

are

outlined

by

a

heavy

black

line

printed

on

the

front

panel.

Controls

common

to

both

sweep

circuits

are

placed

between

the

two

blocks

with

the

exception

of

the

screwdriver

adjustable

SWEEP

potentiometer

which

is

located

in

the

bottom

right-hand

corner

of

the

front

panel.

Overcrowding

of

the

front

panel

is

avoided

by

giving

some

controls

multiple

functions

and

making

others

concentric.

The

following

description

covers

single

sweep

operation.

Single

sweep

can

be

used

with

either

normal

or

delayed

sweep.

2-4

First

set

the

controls

for

a

normal

triggered

display

(use

INT.

coupling).

Then

push

the

single

sweep

control

to

RE-

SET

and

a

single

sweep

will

occur.

To

trigger

a

single

sweep

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Set

the

single

sweep

control

to

SINGLE

SWEEP.

2.

Remove

the

trigger

signal.

This

can

be

done

in

several

ways,

such

as:

a.

Turn

the

Normal

Sweep

LEVEL

control

either

clock-

wise

or

counterclockwise.

b.

Set

the

normal

trigger

SOURCE

control

to

EXT.

c.

Remove

the

input

signal.

3.

Push

the

single

sweep

control

to

RESET

and

release.

The

READY

light

should

turn

on.

4.

Apply

a

trigger

signal

and

the

crt

will

show

a

single

sweep.

Trigger

Selection

The

choice

of

triggering

to

use

depends

on

the

type

and

portion

of

the

signal

to

be

displayed.

For

example,

if

the

display

starts

on

the

leading

edge

of

the

signal

and

it

is

desired

to

start

on

the

trailing

edge,

set

the

SLOPE

control

to

the

other

position.

The

AUTO

position

of

the

COUPLING

is

useful

from

ap-

proximately

15

cps

to

10

mc.

It

has

the

advantage

of

show-

ing

a

trace

when

the

signal

is

removed,

or

when

the

ampli-

fier

input

is

grounded.

This

makes

it

easy

to

check

a

refer-

ence

graticule

line,

since

the

trigger

controls

need

not

be

touched.

The

AC

position

of

the

COUPLING

control

is

the

same

as

for

AUTO

except

for

the

free-run

of

the

display.

Both

the

AUTO

and

AC

positions

reject

any

de

component

in

trigger-

ing

the

signal.

Adjusting

the

POSITION

control

on

the

verti-

cal

amplifier

plug-in

does

not

affect

triggering

in

the

AUTO

or

AC

coupling

positions.

In

the

DC

position

of

the

COUPLING

control,

the

sweep

will

trigger

in

the

range

from

dc

to

10

me.

This

position

should

be

used

with

signals

that

change

slowly,

such

as

a

slow-rising

sawtooth.

The

normal

sweep

LEVEL

control

is

used

to

trigger

the

sweep

at

any

voltage

point

on

these

slow-rising

signals.

With

the

LEVEL

control

centered

the

sweep

will

start

as

the

signal

voltage

crosses

the

zero

volt-

age

point.

For

most

applications

the

trigger

SOURCE

control

should

be

used

in

the

INT.

position.

However,

if

the

frequency

of

the

signal

is

related

to

the

line

frequency

(60

cps},

use

the

LINE

position

of

this

control.

External

triggering

should

be

used

when

signals

are

to

be

sampled

from

several

points

within

a

device,

such

as

in

point

to

point

troubleshooting.

With

external

triggering,

the

trigger

controls

do

not

have

to

be

adjusted

for

each

point

check.

Delayed

Triggering

This

type

of

triggering

has

the

advantage

of

practically

eliminating

jitter

in

the

display

during

delayed-sweep

opera-

tion.

Each

sweep

is

triggered

by

the

expanded

portion

of

the

waveform

and

not

by

the

waveform

at

the

beginning

of

the

normal

sweep.

For

example,

assume

a

pulse

train
