There are two possible target configurations for measuring target displacement along the vertical axis: light over dark and
dark over light. That means it must be possible to alter the phase of the current going through the deflection coils to deflect
the electron image back to its original locked-on position and not away from this center position. In the 5000 Series, the
target switch on the front panel of the control unit changes the phase. See
Figure 2
. Failure to set this switch to the target
configuration being tracked will cause improper deflection and render the system inoperative.
