3. Voltage Comparison
For applications in which the signal voltage is to be compared to
some signal reference amplitude, it may be desirable to establish a
different deflection factor than those available with the VOLTS/DIV
switch. A deflection factor conversion constant, based on a specific
reference amplitude, is established as follows:
a. Apply a reference signal of known amplitude to the input.
b. Adjust the display amplitude to an exact number of
graticule divisions using the VOL TS/DIV switch and its
VAR control. Do not change this setting after the
reference has been established.
c. Deflection factor conversion constant equals:

d. Adjusted deflection factor tor any setting of the
VOLTS/DIV switch equals the VOLTS/DIV setting
multiplied by the conversion factor.
