To
cover
a
range
of
sweep
time
from
.1
sec
to
1 micro
second,
C7
has
five
values
as
selected
by
the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch.
In the
three
slowest
positions
R20A
is
returned
to
ground,
but
for
the
two
fastest
it
is
returned
to
+225
V.
This
makes
possible the
use of
a
larger
value
of
C7 than
would
otherwise
be
possible,
thus
re
ducing
the
capacity
voltage
divider
action
of
the
stray
shunt
capacities
to
ground
of
the
grid
circuit
of
V4.
Vari
ation
of
R20A
in
conjunction
with
the
five
values
of
C7
gives
a
continuously variable adjustment
of
the
multi
vibrator pulse
length.
UNBLANKING
CIRCUIT
During
the
waiting
period
the
bias
on
the
cathode
ray
tube
is
such
that
it
is
completely cut
off.
As
soon
as
a
trigger
appears
and
the
sweep
starts,
it
is
necessary
to
provide
a
positive pulse
on
the
grid
of
the cathode ray
tube
and
thus
turn
on
the
electron
beam.
This
pulse
should
have
an
extremely fast
rise
and
a
very
flat
top
so
that
the
brightness
of
the
image
is uniform. To
secure
a
pulse
of
this
nature,
the
positive pulse
from
the
multi
vibrator
is
clipped
before
it
reaches its
normal
ampli
tude
by
the
diode
V6A.
The
cathode
of
V6A
is
held at
ap
proximately
+55
V
and thus
the
plate cannot
rise
more
than
a
few
volts
above
this
value.
In
order
that
the
capacity
to
ground
of
the
cathode
ray
tube
grid and its
associated
components
and wiring
should
not
reduce
the
rate
of
rise
appreciably,
the cathode
follower
V7
is
used.
This
circuit
is
capable
of
unblanking
the tube
within
.1
microsecond
after
a
sharp
trigger
impulse
reaches
the
TRIGGER
INPUT binding post.
GATE
OUTPUT
GENERATOR
V8
serves
to isolate
the
gate
output
binding
posts from
the
multivibrator.
It
receives
a
positive
pulse
on
its
grid
of
the
same
duration
as
the
sweep
from the
plate
of
V5
via
the voltage
divider
R32
and
R33.
C
10
maintains
the
steep
sides
of
the
pulse.
Since
the
plate
and
cathode
load
resistors are
equal,
pulses
of
equal
size
but
oppo
site
polarity
appear
at
the
plate
and
cathode. The
+gate
from
the
cathode has
no
blocking
capacitor and
therefore
preserves the
square pulse
for
the
longest
sweeps.
It
was
not
felt
desirable
to
have
the
—
Gate
binding
post
carry
the
+225
V potential
of
the
plate;
therefore
a
blocking
capacitor
is
used.
SWEEP
GENERATOR
The
sweep
generator
circuit
produces
the
basic
wave
necessary
to
sweep
the beam
linearly
across
the tube
and
return
it
to
its starting
point. During
the
waiting
period
the
6AG7
tube
V9
is
held
fully
conducting since
it
has
no
bias
and
therefore its
plate
is
about
at ground
potential.
When
a
trigger
occurs
the
negative
pulse
from
the
multivibrator
cuts
the
grid of
V9
off
very
rapidly.
The
plate therefore
rises
in exponential
fashion
at
a
rate
depending
on
R20B,
R39,
and
C15.
When
the
multivi
brator
pulse
ends
V9 conducts
again,
thus
discharging
C15.
Since
C15
is
charged to
only
about
5%
of
the
supply
voltage, the
rate
of
rise
is
very
nearly linear.
Five
values
of
015
as
determined
by
the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch
in
combination
with
the
variable
resistor
R20B
provide
a
continuous
variation
in
sweep
speed
of
from
less
than .1
sec
to
1
microsecond
for
10
cm
sweep.
In
order
to
maintain
the correct
multivibrator
pulse
length
as
the
sweep
speed is
raised, the
SWEEP
RANGE
switch
changes
C7
in
the
multivibrator
and
C
15
simultaneous
ly.
Likewise
the
SWEEP
SPEED
MULT,
is
a
twin control
changing
R20A
and
R2QB
simultaneously.
To maintain
the
calibration of
the
SWEEP
SPEED MULT
dial
when
tubes
are
changed
etc.,
the
voltage
applied
to R20B
may
be
varied
by
R42
which
sets
the
grid
potential
of
the
cathode
follower
V
1
5. The
use
of the cathode
follower
in
place
of
a
potentiometer
maintains
a
constant
charg
ing
potential
as
R20B
is
varied.
Details
of
this
adjust
ment will
be
found
in
Section IV.
SWEEP
OUTPUT
CATHODE
FOLLOWER
To
provide
the
necessary
isolation
between
capaci
ties
fastened to
the
SWEEP
OUTPUT
binding
post
and
the
sweep
generator,
the
cathode
follower
V
1
0
is
pro
vided.
The
grid
of
V10
is
connected
to the
plate
of the
sweep
generator.
The
SWEEP
OUTPUT
binding
post
is
connected
,
to
the
cathode
of
V
10
without a
blocking
capacitor.
SWEEP
MAGNIFIER
The
function
of
this circuit
is
to
delay
the
start
of
the
sweep for
a
variable
time,
and
then
cause
it
to
go
at
five
times
its
normal
speed. This
is
accomplished
by
the
biased cathode
coupled
amplifier
V
1
1.
In
this
type
of
amplifier a
positive
change
in
the
grid
potential
of
V
1
1A
raises
both
cathodes
and
therefore
corresponds
to
a
negative change
on
the
grid
of
V11
B.
Thus the plate
of V1
1
gives
an
amplified
version
of the signal
on
the
grid
of V11
A,
without
change
of
polarity.
The
SWEEP
MAGNIFIER
POSITION
potentiometer
raises the poten
tial
on
the
grid
of
V
1
B above
ground
and
thus
the
cath
ode potential
of
V11A. No
sweep
appears on the plate
of V11B
until
the
plate
of
the
sweep
generator
overcomes
this
bias,
then
the
amplified
sweep
appears. Sufficient
bias
is
available
on
the SWEEP
MAGNIFIER
POSITION
to
make
it
possible
to
start
the
magnified
sweep
at any
point
on
the
normal
sweep.
V6B
is
employed
as
a
DC
restorer
to
insure
that
the
magnified
sweep
will
start at
the
same
potential
each
time,
thus
preventing
jitter
or
instability
of
the
trace. When the magnified
sweep
is
not
desired,
the
SWEEP
MAGNIFIER
POSITION
knob
is
turned to
the
OUT
position
which
operates
a
SPDT
switch
connecting the
sweep amplifier
directly
to
the
plate
of
the
sweep
generator.
SWEEP
AMPLIFIER
The
sweep
voltage
at
the
plate
of V9
is
only
about
20
V
amplitude.
To
sweep
the spot
across
the
screen,
about
350
V
is
necessary.
The
sweep amplifier provides
the
necessary
amplification
and
in
addition
converts
the
single sided
voltage
from the
sweep
generator
into
a
balanced voltage
suitable for
deflecting
the
beam.
This
balanced
voltage
is
necessary
to
maintain
the
aver
age
potential
of
the deflection
plates
constant
over the
entire
sweep,
and
thus prevent
defocussing.
