SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE
highest dial reading was 6.6 and occurred on the
1 to lOms RANGE, the error s p a n i s 6.6 -5.8 =0.8.
Set the RANGE switch to 10 to 100ms (the range
where the lowest dial reading was noted ) and set
the PULSE DURATION dial for a measured dura-
tion of 50ms. Loosen the hub set-screw (behind
the PULSE DURATION potentiometer) and posi-
tion the dial for a reading of 5
-
0.4 ~ 4 . 6 . Be
careful not to disturb the setting of the potentio-
meter itself; the measured duration must remain
50 ms. Tighten the setscrew. A dial reading of 5
now lies in the center of the error span (center
of error span
=
error span
+
2 or 0.8
+
2
=
0.4).
To be sure a PULSE DURATION dial reading of
5 lies in the center of the error span, s e t the
RANGE switch to 1 to l 0 m s (the range where the
highest dial reading was noted) and s e t the
PULSE DURATION dial for a measured duration
of 5 ms. If the dial has been positioned correctly
it will read 5

0.4
=
5.4.
P U L S E D U R A T I O N R A N G E accuracy.
Check or
adjust the PULSE DURATION RANGE accuracy a s
outlined in Table 5-3.
5.8.4 OUTPUT-PULSE CHARACTERISTICS.
Setup.
The characteristics and specifications for
both the
+
and the -OUTPUT PULSE waveforms are
the same except for polarity. Connect the appropriate
OUTPUT PULSE binding posts to the oscilloscope
via a terminated 50-ohm cable. Set the Type 1398-A
controls a s follows:
