PULL (—) SLOPE: 

Two-position push-pull switch. The “in” position 
selects a positive-going slope and the “out” 
position selects a negative-going slope as 
triggering point for main sweep. 

27.

 

EXTernal TRIGger Jack. 

External trigger input 

for single- and dual-trace operation. 

DIGITAL STORAGE CONTROLS 

28.

 

STORAGE/ANALOG Pushbutton. 

When 

released, scope is in 

ANALOG 

mode. When 

engaged, scope is in digital 

STORAGE 

mode. In 

ANALOG 

mode, all digital mode controls (29–3 8) 

are disabled. In 

STORAGE 

mode, all digital mode 

controls (29–38) are enabled. 
In 

STORAGE 

mode with all digital mode controls 

(29–38) released, scope is in 

REFRESH 

mode of 

storage, in which it updates the stored waveform 
each time an adequate trigger signal is received (if 
the previous update has been completed). 

REFRESH 

mode is applicable at all 

TIME/DIV 

settings. 

29.

 

SAVE CH2 Pushbutton. 

Engaging this switch 

freezes and stores the channel 2 trace immediately. 
The channel 2 display and memory cannot be 
updated until this switch is released. 

30.

 

SAVE ALL Pushbutton. 

Engaging this switch 

freezes and stores the channel 1 and channel 2 
traces immediately. The display and memory cannot 
be up-dated until this switch is released. 

31.

 

SLOW X100 Pushbutton. 

Engaging this switch 

expands the time base settings of 10 ms/div to 0.5 
S/div by a factor of 100 to become settings of 1 
sec/div to 50 sec/div. Time base settings are normal 
when this switch is released. 

32.

 

ROLL Pushbutton. 

Engaging this switch selects 

the 

ROLL 

mode of operation, in which the trace 

moves across the CRT from right to left like a strip 
chart recorder (opposite of conventional oscilloscope 
operation) and the display is continuously updated. 
This update takes place even in the absence of any 
trigger signal. The rolling speed equals the 

TIME/DIV 

setting (and 

SLOW X100 

if engaged). 

ROLL 

mode is applicable only at time base settings 

of 10 ms/div to 0.5 S/div. 

33.

 

SINGLE Pushbutton. 

Engaging this switch 

enables the single sweep mode of digital storage 
operation, in which the memory is filled in a single 
sweep and continuously displayed. Single sweep 
mode is applicable for all “real time” settings of the 

TIME/DIV 

control, that is, 20 s/div and slower. 

34.

 

RESET Pushbutton. 

With the 

SINGLE 

switch 

engaged, this switch readies the scope for single 
sweep 

operation. A suitable trigger signal arriving after 
pressing the 

RESET 

switch initiates the single 

sweep. 

35.

 

READY Indicator. 

Lights when the 

RESET 

switch readies 

the scope for single sweep, and goes out when trigger signal 
occurs. 

36.

 

PRE-TRIGGER Pushbuttons. 

Selects post-trigger or 

pre-trigger storage conditions. In post-trigger condition (0% 
pre-trigger), the entire stored waveform occurs after the trigger. 
The trigger point is at the extreme left of the display, as in a 
conventional analog oscilloscope display. In pre-trigger 
conditions, a portion of the waveform occurring before the 
trigger is displayed. Pre-trigger selections of 25%, 50%, and 
75% are selectable. For 0% pre-trigger, release both 

PRE-TRIGGER 

pushbuttons. For 25% pre-trigger, engage the 

left pushbutton. For 50% pre-trigger, en-gage the right 
pushbutton. For 75% pre-trigger, engage both pushbuttons. 
Pre-trigger operation is applicable only to single sweep 
operation, not to 

ROLL 

or 

REFRESH 

modes. 

37.

 

Data Out 

Sends data to USB BMP. 

38.

 

Transfer Indicator. 

When flashing, indicates waveform being 

stored to USB drive. 

REAR PANEL CONTROLS

 (see Fig. 2) 

39.

 

Fuse Holder/Line Voltage Selector. 

Contains fuse and selects 

line voltage. 

40.

 

Power Cord Receptacle. 

41.

 

USB Host connector. 

Store screen data to USB flash drive. 

42.

 

Analog Output. 

Output terminal where sample of channel 2 

analog signal is available. Amplitude of output is 50 millivolts 
per division of vertical deflection seen on CRT when 
terminated into 50 ohms. Output impedance is 50 ohms. 

43.
