results, a 50

Ω

load resistor is recommended at the oscilloscope. Note, the

amplifier gain will be halved with a 50

Ω

load connected.

Voltage Selector Switch

The voltage selector switch allows the user to select the input line voltage. The
factory default setting is 100/115 VAC as shown in figure 4. To operate at 230
VAC, this switch will have to be moved to the 230 V position. The line fuse will
also need to be changed to properly protect the unit. See page 11 for detailed
instructions.
