Improper orientation of the windings causes displayed rectangles to look more like nonorthogonal parallelograms. This type of defect is almost impossible to correct with adjustments.
  • Page 433 980 DP 1.4 Video Generator / Analyzer - User Guide Rev. A1 16.117.13 Method Measure the lengths of the two (2) diagonal lines. Any difference is an indication of parallelogram distortion. The difference in readings should be within the specifications of the monitor. If the difference in the readings is too far beyond specification, the monitor should be rejected and sent back for repair, rather than trying to magnet a defective yoke.

If any correction is performed, the trapezoid distortion correction should be repeated. The other correction method involves adding correction signals to the deflection signal driving the yoke. This method is usually found in color monitors, where adding magnets to the yoke would cause problems with convergence and purity.
