Theory
of
Operation---7B87
SWEEP
GENERATOR
The
Sweep
Generator
produces
a
linear
rampwaveform
for
the
mainframe
when
gated by the
Trigger
Generator
.
The
sweep
trace
is
displayed
either
independently
or as
the
intensified
sweep
(when
used
with a
companion
delayed
time
base
unit)
of
an
alternate
display
.
The
sweep
ramp
is
also
used
as a
time
reference
for
the
delay
pickoff
comparator
(diagram
5)
.
A
sweep
gate
(unblanking)
is
also
generated
in
this
circuit
block
.
The
linear
sweep
ramp
waveform
is
produced
by
charging a
capacitor
from
a
constant-current
source
.
The
slope
of
the
ramp
determines
the
sweep
rate
of
the
displayed
trace
.

the
Sweep
Generator
