( 500 or 7 50, dc coupled)
1. The Terminated input is dc coupled. Peak (combined ac/dc in
put) levels exceeding ± 13 volts will "trip " the internal protection
circuit causing the input to open, but such levels may also damage
the input circuitry.
2. RP input levels exceeding ± 5.25 volts peak may damage the
High-Impedance input circuitry. The combined ac/dc input level
applied to the High-Impedance input must not exceed ± 42 volts
peak.
Activate Terminated input and select 500 or 750 dc-coupled termination .
Also used to select 500 or 750 calibration impedance for dBm measurements
at the High-Impedance input .
Lights indicate that Terminated input is terminated in 500 or 750, and also
indicate the calibration impedance .
Activates High-Impedance input ; deactivates Terminated input .
Sets RANGE automatically as a function of the composite ac input-signal
level .
Deactivates
; prefaces RANGE , enabling it to be changed with STEP
keys .
Lights when ac input-signal level exceeds RANGE setting .
Couples Reference Level (amplitude of top graticule line) to RANGE . In
itially sets Reference Level equal to RANGE to maintain on-screen display.
The Reference Level can be set equal to RANGE at any time by turn
