Controls, Connectors, and Indicators
TURN-ALT When the SEC/DIV knob is out, clockwise rotation
activates the Alternate Horizontal Display mode. The
Alt mode presents the intensified A Sweep
alternating with the delayed B Sweep. The position
of the intensified zone on the A Sweep indicates the
time position of the B Sweep, and the length of the
intensified zone indicates the B-Sweep duration. A
separate B Sweep runs for each intensified zone.
PUSH-B In the Alt horizontal display mode, pushing in the
SEC/DIV knob displays only B Sweeps.
When the B-Sweep speed is set equal to the A-
Sweep speed in Alt or B display mode, the mode
changes from A to B or from Inten to Alt.
29) VAR Control Continuously varies the sweep speed between SEC/DIV
switch settings, for either the A Sweep or B Sweep. The
detent position (full clockwise rotation) produces the
basic sweep speed selected by the SEC/DIV switch. The
fully counterclockwise position slows the sweep by a
nominal factor of three. The CRT readout displays the
actual time-per-division scale factor for all settings of the
VAR control. When the Intensified A Sweep or the
B Sweep is displayed, VAR affects only the B-Sweep
scale factor.
30) TRACE SEP
Control
Positions the B trace downward from the A trace in Alt
horizontal display mode. In the B horizontal display
mode,
with At or 1/At, TRACE SEP positions the trace
associated with the A control downward. Fully clockwise
rotation eliminates separation between the traces.
