that
controls

channel A and
manual

for
channel

connected
to
either
channel A

control
has
no
effect
on
input
sensitivity
of
Channel A
or
B.
Channel A sensitivity
is
maximum
and Channel B sensitivity
is
controlled
by
an
auto-
matic gain

circuit.
After
power-up,
the

is
automatically disabled (initialize mode).

The DC offset
level
of
Channel A
input
is
manually variable. A vari-
able
pc
offset
has
the effect
of
being a polarity and

X20
ATTN
is
disabled,
the trigger level
of
input
A may be
set
from
-0.1 volts
to
+0.1
volts peak.
At
midrange,
0.0
volt level, Channel A
input
sensitivity will be approximately
10
mV
rms
or
±15
mV
peak.
If
the
X20
ATTN
is
enabled, these values
increase by a nominal factor
of
20.

3-79. There are
two
input
BNC connectors; Channel
A and Channel
B.
Channel A
input
frequency
range
is
from
10 Hz
to
100
MHz
for
the
HP
5384A and
HP
5385A.
Channel B
input
frequency
range
is
50
MHz
to
225
MHz
for
the
HP
5384A and
90
MHz
to
1.0 GHz
for
the
HP
5385A. The
input
of
the
HP
5385A Channel B
is
protected
by a fuse.
