matic triggering is that signals below 25 Hz and
complex signals may not trigger the time base
reliably enough. In this case, immediately switch
to NORM mode in order to obtain a "stable"
image again.
In the TV-V and TV-H switch positions, the trig-
ger signals are routed via a filter in the trigger
circuit (see also Figure 7). The polarity of the TV
sync signals must be negative to obtain the best
possible results.
Choosing the point at which triggering starts
Use the SLOPE switch (26) located on the shaft of
the LEVEL knob to decide the point at which
triggering starts: on the positive-going or nega-
tive-going transition of the trigger signal, see
also Figure 8-C.
Setting the trigger LEVEL
Use the trigger LEVEL knob to stabilise the signal
so that it can be observed more accurately. The
effect of adjusting the trigger level is shown in
Figure 8. The "-", "0" and "+" markers are refer-
red to the zero crossing of the signal waveform
or the negative and positive area. If the trigger
signal rises or falls extremely steeply, as in the
case of rectangular-pulse or digital signals, no
clear reversal of the displayed trace will be ap-
parent until the LEVEL knob has reached its most
negative or most positive point by turning it to
the left or right, at which point the display runs
away (in the AUTO position) or disappears ent-
irely (NORM position).
2.2.7 Addition and subtraction of signals
In this operating mode of a dual-trace oscillo-
scope, the signals that are applied are "com-
bined" with each other and displayed as a trace.
Addition gives the algebraic sum of CH 1 and CH
2 and subtraction gives the algebraic difference
of the two channels.
Set up the oscilloscope as follows in order to use
these functions:
1. Perform the basic settings as described under
heading 2.2.5.
2. Make sure that both the VOLTS/DIV switches
are set to the same position and that both the
VARIABLE knobs (14) and (15) are set to the
right-hand stop (cal. = calibrated) and are
pushed in. If the difference in the ampli-
tude of the two applied signals is too large,
adjust the two VOLTS/DIV controls so that
both amplitudes take up the entire height of
the screen.
3. Use the channel that has the higher ampli-
tude as the trigger source.
4. Set the MODE switch (18) to the ADD position.
The result is the algebraic sum of both the
signals in CH 1 and CH 2.
