Installing

the

into

the

Oscilloscope

CAUTION

Turn

off

oscilloscope

power

while

inserting

or

removing

plug-in

units.

Otherwise,

power

supplies

in

the

oscilloscope

may

fail

to

regulate

momen-

tarily

as

plug-in

units

are

removed

or

replaced.

The

Type

3177

is

designed

to

drive

the

horizontal

de-

flection

plates

of

the

crt;

it

must

be

used

in

the

right-hand

plug-in

compartment.

When

inserting

the

Type

3177

into

the

plug-in

compartment,

first

check

that

the

latch

at

the

bottom

of

the

front

panel

is

in

a

horizontal

position.

Then

make

sure

the

interconnecting

plugs

are

properly

aligned.

The

Type

3177

should

then

slip

easily

into

the

compartment.

Once

the

plug-in

has

been

properly

seated,

turn

the

aluminum

knob

of

the

plug-in

unit

a

few

turns

clockwise

until

it

is

hand-tight.

To

remove

the

plug-in

unit,

turn

the

aluminum

knob

counterclockwise

as

far

as

it

will

go

and

pull

the

plug-in

unit

straight

out.

where

the

covers

the

desired

6.

With

the

control,

move

the

hori-

zontally

to

the

desired

point

on

the

7.

Turn

the

and

notice

its

effect

on

the

display.

The

action

of

the

is

most

significant

at

Press

the

After

pressing

the

RESET

button,

the

Type

allows

one

complete

scan

of

Gain

Adjust

The

varies

slightly

from

one

oscilloscope

to

another.

For

this

reason,

the

GAIN

(a

front-panel

adjustment)

should

be

checked

and

adjusted

as

necessary

each

time

the

used

in

a

different

oscilloscope.

Also,

check

the

occasionally

during

regular

use

of

the

ment.

Checking

requires

the use

of

an

accurate

frequency

source,

such

as

the

Tektronix

Type

180A

Time-Mark

Generator.

The

frequency

standard

used

must

have

a

frequency

output

of

at

least

100

and

preferably

above

1

megacycle.

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Insert

the

the

oscilloscope,

turn

on

the

power

and

allow

the

for

at

least

before

proceeding.

Use

Triggering

the

Type

3177

The

Type

3T77

can

be

triggered

either

internally

or

externally.

Internal

triggering

requires

no

signal

connections

to

the

Type

3777

since

the

triggering

signal

is

coupled

internally

from

the

vertical

sampling

plug-in

unit.

However,

external

triggering

is

more

sensitive

(see

Section

1).

External

triggering

is

also

independent

of

the

displayed

waveform.

Thus,

when

signals

of

different

amplitudes

are

applied

to

the

vertical

plug-in

unit,

the

triggering

controls

do

not

require

resetting

for

a

stable

display.

However,

an

external

triggering

signal

must

be

related

in

time

to

the

displayed

signal

to

maintain

stable

triggering.

The

+

and

—

positions

of

the

INT.-EXT.

switch

determine

whether

triggering

takes

place

on

the

positive-

or

negative-

@l

going

slope

of

the

triggering

signal.

The

INT.

or

EXT.

posi-

tions

determine

whether

the

triggering

signal

comes

from

the

vertical

sampling

plug-in

unit

or

from

the

EXT.

INPUT

connector.

Selecting

the

Equivalent

Sweep

Rate

The

Type

31777

TIME/DIV.

switch

selects

equivalent

sweep

rates

from

0.2

nanosecond

per

division

to

10

micoseconds

per

division.

These

rates,

in

turn,

provide

an

equivalent

10-

division

width

from

2

nanoseconds

to

100

micro-

seconds.

Setting

switch

to

X10 increases

the

10

times

at

any

of

switch.

This

expands

the

display

in

both

direc-

tions

from

the

center

division

to

cover

the

entire

graticule

(horizontally).

The

about

Selection

of

depends

on

the

duration

of

the

applied

and

the

specific

portion

of

the

signal

you

wish

to

The

aids

in

observing

a

The

are

when

the

This

permits

accurate

time

measurements

di-

from

the

Selecting

the

Dots

Per

Division

In

a

sampling

system,

the

applied

signal

is

displayed

as

a

series

of

dots

distributed

across

the

ert.

With

a

greater

number

of

dots

in

the

display,

the

trace

appears

more

con-

tinuous.

With

less

dots

in

the

display,

there

is

less

continu-

ity

in

the

trace

and

the

individual

dots

become

more

apparent

(see

Fig.

2-2).

The

DOTS

PER

DIV.

switch

selects

either

10

dots

per

division

or

100

dots

per

division.

Proper

setting

of

the

DOTS

PER

DIV.

switch

is

a

choice

between

good

trace

continuity

and

flicker.

Flicker

will

become

ap-

parent

with

signals

of

low

repetition

rate

when

the

DOTS

PER

DIV.

switch

is

set

to

100.

By

changing

the

setting

of

the

DOTS

PER

DIV.

switch

to

10,

flicker

will

become

less

apparent.

However,

with

10

dots

per

division,

make

sure

the

SMOOTH-NORMAL

switch

of

the

vertical

sampling

plug-in

unit

is

set

to

NORMAL.

Otherwise,

the

display

may

be

distorted.

Signals

with

fast

repetition

rates

cause

less

flicker;

thus

the

DOTS

PER

DIV.

switch

may

be

set

to

100

for

best

trace

continuity.

When

making

time

measurements

from

the

crt,

the

indi-

vidual

dots

can

serve

as

time

markers.

For

example,

suppose

the

Type

3177

TIME/DIV.

switch

is

set

to

1

nSEC

and

the

DOTS

is

set

to

SECTION

APPLICATIONS

The

procedures

in

this

section

describe

some

basic

applications

for

the

Type

3177.

Time

and

Frequency

Measurements

The

Type

3177

is

accurately

calibrated

to

indicate

equiva-

lent

time

per

division

along

the

horizontal

axis

of

the

oscilloscope

display.

Thus,

the

following

procedures

concern

measuring

time

and

frequency

of

electrical

events.

Time

Duration.

To

measure

the

time

duration

of

an

electrical

event,

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Obtain

a

stable

display

of

the

event

you

wish

to

measure.

2.

Set

the

TIME/DIV.

switch

so

the

distance

between

the

two

points

you

wish

to

measure

covers

a

large

portion

of

the

graticule.

3.

To

get

the

time

duration,

count

the

number

of

grati-

cule

divisions

between

the

two

points,

multiply

by

the

TIME/

DIV.

switch

setting,

then

divide

the

result

by

the

HORIZ.

MAG.

switch

setting.

To

illustrate

this

procedure,

assume

the

TIME/DIV.

switch

is

set

to

5nSEC

and

the

HORIZ.

MAG.

switch

to

X1.

Then,

assume

the

distance

between

the

two

points

on

the

display

is

4.8

major

graticule

divisions.

Thus,

the

time

duration

would

be

4.8

divisions

multiplied

by

5

nanoseconds/divi-

sion

(TIME/DIV.

switch

setting),

or

24

nanoseconds,

Risetime.

The

risetime

of

a

pulse

is,

by

definition,

the

time

required

for

the

pulse

to

rise

from

10%

to

90%

of

Determining

risetime.

®

its

maximum

amplitude.

To

measure

pulse

risetime

or

fall-

time

proceed

as

follows:

1.

Set

the

TIME/DIV.

switch

and

the

DELAY

control

to

display

the

leading

edge

of

the

pulse.

(Or,

for

falltime

measurement,

display

the

falling

edge.)

For

best

accuracy,

the

rising

portion

of

the

pulse

should

span

at

last

two

horizontal

graticule

divisions.

2.

Set

the

vertical

plug-in

unit

so

the

display

covers

two

to

eight

vertical

graticule

divisions.

3.

Measure

the

horizontal

distance

between

the

10%

and

90%

amplitude

points

on

the

waveform.

See

Fig.

3-1.

switch

setting).

Frequency

or

Repetition

Rate.

Frequency

or

repetition

rate

is

the

number

of

complete

electrical

events

occurring

in

a

second.

To

measure

the

frequency

or

repetition

rate

of

the

displayed

signal

in

cycles

(or

pulses}

per

second,

pro-

ceed

as

follows:

1.

Find

the

time

duration

of

a

complete

event

as

described

under

‘Time

Duration’.

2.

The

frequency

or

repetition

rate

of

the

applied

signal

is

the

reciprocal

of

step

1.

To

illustrate

this

procedure,

assume

the

TIME/DIV.

switch

is

set

to

20nSEC

and

the

HORIZ.

MAG.

switch

to

X10.

Then,

assume

one

event

covers

6.4

major

graticule

divisions.

Thus,

the

frequency

or

repetition

rate

would

be

6.4

divisions

multiplied

by

20

nanoseconds/division

(TIME/DIV.

switch

setting)

divided

by

10

{the

HORIZ.

MAG.

switch

setting),

or

12.8

nanoseconds.

The

frequency

is

then

the

reciprocal

of

12.8

nanoseconds,

or

about

78.1

megacycles.

An

alternative

method

for

measuring

frequency

or

repeti-

tion

rate

is

as

follows:

1.

Set

the

TIME/DIV.

switch

for

a

2-

to

10-cycle

display

of

the

input

signal.

2.

Count

the

exact

number

of

cycles

(including

fractional

cycles)

occurring

in

10

major

graticule

divisions.

3.

Multiply

the

number

of

cycles

obtained

in

step

2

by

the

Frequency

Multiplier
