Basic Operationg Procedures
The following paragraphs in this section describe how to operate the PeakTech 2020 GN and PeakTech
2030 KT, beginning with the most elementary operating modes, and progressing to the less frequently-
used/or complex modes.
2.2.1
Preliminary Control Settings and Adjustments
Before placing the instrument in use, set up and check the instrument as follows:
1.
Set the following controls as indicated
POWER Switch (16)
OFF (relaesed)
INTEN control (2)
Fully CCW
FOCUS control (1)
Mid rotation
AC/GND/DC switches (25) (21)
AC
VOLTS/DIV switches (26) (23)
20 mV
X5 MAG switch (3)
X1
Vertical POSITION controls (4) (7)
Mid rotation
INV
switch
(6)
Norm
VARIABLE controls (27) (20)
Fully CW
V MODE switch (5)
CH1
TIME/DIV switch (15)
5 µs
VARIABLE control (13)
CAL
Horizontal POSITION conrol (10)
Mid rotation
X10 MAG switch (11)
X1
Trigger MODE switch (14)
AUTO
Trigger SOURCE switch (18)
INT, VERT
Trigger LEVEL control (9)
Mid rotation
SLOPE switch (8)
"+"
2.
Connect the AC power cord to the power connector (34), then plug the cord into a convenient AC
outlet.
3.
Press in the POWER switch (16). The POWER lamp (16-1) should light immediately. About 30
seconds later, rotate the INTEN control (2) clockwise until the trace appears on the CRT screen.
Adjust brightness to your liking.
Caution:
A burn resistant material is used in the CRT. However if the CRT is left with an extremely bright dot
or trace for a very long time, the screen may be damaged. Therefore, if a measurement requires high bright-
ness, be certain to turn down the INTEN control immediately afterward. Also, get in the habit of turning the
brightness way down if the scope is left unattended for any period of time.
4.
Turn the FOCUS control (1) for a sharp trace.
5.
Turn the CH 1 Vertical POSITION control (4) to move the CH 1 trace to the center horizontal
gratitude line.
6.
See if the trace is precisely parallel with the gratitude line. If it is not, adjust the Rotation control (29)
with a small screwdriver.
7.
Turn the Horizontal POSITION control (10) to align the left edge of the trace with the leftmost
gratitude line.
8.
Set one of the supplied probes for 10 X attuation. Then, connect its BNC end to the CH 1 or X IN
connector (24) and its tip the PROBE ADJUST connector (17). A square-wave display, two and a
half divisions in amplitude, should appear on the CRT screen.
9.
If the tops and bottoms of the displayed square waves are tilted or peaked, the probe must be
compensated (matched to the scope input capacitance). Adjust the capacitance correction trimmer
of the probe with small screwdriver. See figure 2-2 (b).
10.
Set the V MODE switch (5) to CH 2, and perform steps 8 and 9 with the other probe on channel 2.
