CHANNEL A INPUT AND LEVEL
FUNCTIONS
CH A INPUT: bnc connector for Channel A signal
input. Input impedance is 1 shunted by ap-
proximately 20 pF.
LEVEL: selects the amplitude point on the positive or
negative slope of the input signal at which the
triggering window is placed.
SLOPE: push-push switch selects the slope of the
input signal on which triggering will occur, Button
out selects plus (+) slope; button in minus (–) slope.
ATTEN: push-push switch selects X1 (button out) or
X5 (button in) attenuation of the input signal.
COUPL: push-push switch selects DC (button out)
or AC (button in) coupling of the input signal to the
attenuator circuit.
Input Sources
NOTE
SOURCE: push-push switch selects the source of
the input signal. Button out, EXT, selects the front
panel connector as a signal source. Button in, INT,
routes the input signal to the counter via the rear
interface connections.
SHAPED OUT A: provides a shaped output signal
derived from the output of the Channel A signal
shaper circuitry.
SHAPED OUT GND: common connector for
Channel A shaped output signals.
TRIG LEVEL A: pin jack permits monitoring of the
Channel A triggering voltage level.
RELEASE LATCH: pull to disengage and remove
DC 503A from the power module.
INPUT CONSIDERATIONS
be calculated (see Specification section). The maximum
safe input voltage to the rear interface input connectors is
equal to or less than 4 V (dc plus peak ac) from dc to
50 MHz.
Maximum input voltage limited to 200 V peak.
Sensitivity and Frequency Range
The SOURCE switch for each channel selects either the
front panel bnc connector (external), or the rear interface
connector (internal) pins. The external inputs present
impedances of approximately 1 paralleled by about 27
pF. The internal input circuits present nominal 50
impedances to match typical coaxial cable signal connec-
tions.
Input Coupling
Front panel pushbuttons select ac (capacitive) or dc
(direct) coupling for the input signal of each channel. This
coupling takes place before the signals are passed into the
attenuator circuits.
Attenuators and Maximum Input Volts
For either attenuation factor, X1 or X5, the maximum
safe input voltatage that can be applied to the front panel
bnc connectors is 200 V (peak) from dc to 50 kHz. At
frequencies above 50 kHz, the maximum safe peak-to-
peak input voltage tothe front panel bnc connectors must
CH A and CH B will respond to a signal amplitude of
20 mV rms sinewave, times attenuation, to lOO MHzandto
a sinewave of 35 mV rms, times attenuation, to 125 MHz.
Depending on the coupling mode selected, the low
frequency limit for each channel is either zero (dc
coupled) or 10 Hz (ac coupled).
Slope and Level
The SLOPE pushbuttons for each channel determine
whether the trigger circuits will respond to the negative or
positive transition of the input signal.
Refer to Fig. 2-3. The LEVEL control for each channel
allows the operator to move the hysteresis window of the
trigger circuit to an optimum level on the input signal to
ensure stable triggering The LEVEL control adjusts over
V, times attenuation, of the input signal. This level
can bemoniiored atthefront panel TRIG LEVEL pin jacks.
