Type of signal voltage Type of signal voltage The oscilloscope HM504-2 allows examination of DC voltages and most repetitive signals in the frequency range up to at least 50 MHz (–3 dB). The Y amplifiers have been designed for minimum overshoot and therefore permit a true signal display.

Operating modes oft the Y amplifiers in Yt mode Prerequisite for this HF compensation is a square wave generator Operating modes with fast risetime (typically 4 ns), and low output impedance of the Y amplifiers in Yt mode (approx. 50 Ohm), providing 0.2 V at a frequency of approx. 1MHz. The calibrator output of this instrument meets these requirements.
Operating modes oft the Y amplifiers in Yt mode Phase difference measurement The bandwidth of the X amplifier, is lower than the Y amplifier in DUAL mode (Yt) and the phase angle which increases with higher frequencies, must be taken into account (please note data sheet). Phase differences between two input signals of the same frequency and shape can be measured very simply on the screen The Y signal applied at INPUT CHII can be inverted.
Triggering and time base base generator moves the beam from the left to the right of the screen (time deflection = t). Normally there are periodically repeating waveforms to be displayed. Therefore the time base must repeat the time deflection periodically too.
Triggering and time base The automatic peak (value) triggering operates over all variations As the automatic triggering does not work below 20 Hz, normal or fluctuations of the test signal above 20 Hz. However, if the triggering should be used in DC and LF trigger coupling mode. The pulse duty factor of a square wave signal exceeds a ratio of coupling mode and accordingly the frequency range of the trigger 100 : 1, switching over to normal triggering will be necessary.
Triggering and time base positive going edges must be chosen. In the case of sync pulses In this trigger mode the slope direction pushbutton selects the below the field/line, the leading edge is negative and consequently positive or negative portion of the line/mains sine wave. The the slope selection must be set for falling edges.
Triggering and time base form from the test signal voltage, but must be synchronous with the test signal. Triggering is even possible in certain limits with whole number multiples or fractions of the test frequency. It must be noted that a different phase angle between the measuring and the triggering signal may cause a display not coinciding with the slope selection setting.

AUTOSET Testing Diodes In-Circuit Tests Diodes normally show at least their knee in the forward characteristic. This is not valid for some high voltage diode types, Caution! because they contain a series connection of several diodes. During in circuit tests make sure the circuit is dead. No power from mains/line or battery and no signal inputs are permitted.
