7. All of the DAC inputs should change state two or more times within a 5 ms window. If
one or more DAC bits are not working correctly, this will effect the entire display, but
especially in the diagonal lines that go from lower left to upper right. When these lines
are drawn, both the X and Y
DACs are stepped one count at a time. A “stuck” bit will
distort the diagonal in a repetitive manner.The quicker the repetition, the less significant
the “stuck” bit. Horizontal distortions apply to the X LINE GENERATOR DAC, while
vertical distortions apply to the Y LINE GENERATOR DAC. The DACS have current
outputs so they are not readily observable with an oscilloscope. Continue with step 8 to
observe the DAC outputs.
8. To break the effect of feedback in the line generators and to observe the output of the
DACs, short J201 pin 1 to TP3 to observe U203 pin 1 and TPl. Continue with step 9.

10. Trigger the oscilloscope on the signal at
U207 pin 8 (LBRIGHT).
11. The following waveforms should look like Figure 9-6 on the oscilloscope. The top two
traces are for the X Line Generator and the bottom two traces for the Y Line Generator.

12. Figure 9-7 illustrates the waveforms in step 11 expanded to show relative timing. the
second and fourth traces are delayed by 5 ms from the first and third. The oscilloscope
settings are changed as follows:
