a ground return to earth to prevent the instru 
ment case from rising to the signai source poten 
tial to become a potential safety hazard. Connect
the grounding lead to the chassis ground connec 
tor on the 314 side panel.
HOW TO MEASURE VOLTAGE
If a coaxial cable is used, terminate the cable in its charac 
teristic impedance at the oscilloscope input.
Compensate the probe, if used, before connecting to the
signal source.
AC Signals
a. Set Input Coupling switch to GND (both switches in the
middle position) and VOLTS/DIV switch to an appropriate
setting. Vertical deflection factor equals the product of the
VOLTS/DIV switch setting and the probe or signal trans 
porting lead attenuation factor. Connect the signal source
to a VERT INPUT connector and set Input Coupling switch
to AC.
b. Set TIME/DIV switch for desired deflection factor and
press appropriate CH 1 or CH 2 button. Adjust LEVEL
control for a triggered display. Position display within the
graticule area for measurement.
c. Measure peak-to-peak, or peak-to-trough amplitude of
the display, or waveform, in graticule div. See Figure 12.
Voltage (peak-to-peak) = measured amplitude in div, multi 
plied by the deflection factor (VOLTS/DIV switch setting
times probe attenuation factor).
