factor
for
4
divisions
of
display
.

per
division
.
If
necessary,
adjust
the
front-panel
SWP
CAL
screwdriver
adjustment
for
one
complete
cycle per
division
over
the
center
8
graticule
divisions
.
Be
sure
that
the
timing
of
the
mainframe
calibrator
signal
is
accurate
to
within
0.25%
(+20°
to
+30°
C)
.

.
Press
to
release
the
VARIABLE
(CAL
IN)
control
.

the
VARIABLE
(CAL
IN)
control
fully
counterclockwise

note
that
the displayed
sweep
rate
changes
to
at
least
the
next
slower
TIME/DIV
switch
setting
(i
.e
.,
2
milliseconds/division)
.
Press
the
VARIABLE
(CAL

MAGNIFIED
SWEEP
.
Perform
the
following
procedure
to
obtain
a
X10
magnified
display
and
to
demonstrate
the
function
of
the
related
controls
:
1
.
Obtain
a
one
cycle
per
division
display
as
described
in
the preceding
Normal
Sweep
procedure
.
2
.
Press
to
release
the
MAG
button
(X10)
.
Note
that
the
unmagnified
display
within
the center
division
of
the
graticule
is
magnified
to
about
10
divisions
.
3
.
Press
the
MAG
button
(X1)
.
TRIGGERING
FUNCTIONS
Perform
the
following
procedure
to
obtain
a
triggered
sweep
and
to
demonstrate
the
functions
of
the
related
controls
:
1
.
Obtain
a
display
as
described
in
the
preceding
Normal
Sweep
procedure
.
2
.
Press
the
AUTO
MODE
button
and
turn the
LEVEL
control
fully
counterclockwise
to
obtain
a
free-running
sweep
.

.
Slowly
turn
the
HOLD
OFF
control
clockwise
and
note

OFF
control
.
Return
the
HOLD
OFF
control
to
the
fully
counterclockwise
(MIN)
position
.
NOTE
The
HOLD
OFF
control
varies
the
sweep
hold-
off
time
which
effectively
changes
the
repetition-rate
of
the
horizontal
sweep
signal
.
However,
its
primary
function
is
to
obtain
a
stable
display
of
complex
waveforms
which
are
otherwise
difficult
to
trigger
.
