Figure 1–37: Line count accuracy correct result waveform

Disconnect all test equipment (TSG 121) from the digitizing
oscilloscope.

Turn off cursors by pressing CURSOR, then the main-menu
Function button, and, finally, Off from the side menu.

7. Check the Sync Duty Cycle.

a. Set up digitizing oscilloscope for Sync Duty Cycle Test:

Press TRIGGER MENU.

Press the Standard pop-up to select FlexFmt. Trigger Type should
already be set to Video.

Press the main-menu Setup.

Press the side-menu Field Rate.

Use the keypad to set the field rate to 60.05 Hz (press 60.05, then
ENTER).

Press the side-menu Lines.

Use the keypad to set the field rate to 793 lines (press 793, then
ENTER).
