Introduction

T e

Oscilloscope

—

is

a

versatile

dual-beam

labor



atory

type

instrument

providing

accurate

voltage

and

time

measurements

in

t e

DC

to

50

MHz

frequency

range.

Two

complete

orizontal

and

vertical

deflection

systems

permit

completely

indepentent

operation

of

t e

two

beams.

T e

Upper

Beam

can

display

t e

signal

from

and

may

be

controlled

by

eit er

t e

A

T e

Lower

Beam

displays

t e

signal

from

and

t e

is

controlled

by

t e

B

Special

circuits

wit in

provide

selection

of

an

accurate,

continuously-variable

using

t e

B

sweep.

T e

may

be

delayed

by
