d.

  Vary the 

autotransformer voltage from

 104

 to 126 volts 

(208

 to 252 volts) and check for no trace shift. Return to 115

a.

  Connect

 the

 1x probe to the —16 volt test point. 

Switch

 Vc Range

 to —11.

b.

 

Adjust R180

 to position the trace on the center graticule 

line.

c.

  Vary

 the autotransformer voltage form

 104 to 126 volts 

(208 

to

 252 volts) and check for no trace shift. Return to 115 

volts

 (230 volts).

d.

 

Disconnect the probe

 from the —16 volt test point and 

remove

 the differential comparator plug-in unit from the 

storage

 oscilloscope.

4.  Adjust

 Ripple Null (R1

 test point. See Fig. 6-4.

c.

  Adjust

 R157 for minimum ripple. Fig. 6-5 shows a 

typical 

ripple

 display at 500 µV/cm.

d.

  Check

 ripple for 

≤2 mV peak to peak (≤ 4 cm at 500

µV/cm).

e.  Connect

 the

 1 X probe to the —16 volt test point and 

check

 ripple for <2 mV peak to

 peak.

f.

 

Remove

 the probe from the test point.

5.  Adjust Attenuator

a.

 

Remove the connection from J80,

 on the amplifier cir­

 See

 Fig. 6-3 for location of J80.

b.

  Change Time/cm

 to 50 µs, and switch input coupling
