clockwise at minimum line voltage and fu lly counterclock­
wise at
maximum line voltage; check that regulation
remains w ith in given limits.
CAUTION
If a spot or trace appears on the screen when the
INTENSITY control is turned clockwise, position it

Check Low-Voltage Power Supply Ripple

a. Connect the IX probe to the test oscilloscope input
connector.
b. Set the test oscilloscope for a vertical deflection
factor o f 10 m illivolts/division, AC coupled, at a sweep rate
o f five milliseconds/division.
c. Connect the probe tip to the -1 5 0 -v o lt test p oint
(see Fig. 5-2A). Connect the probe ground lead to the Type
310A chassis near the test point.
d. CH EC K-Test oscilloscope display for less than one
division vertical deflection (10 m illivolts ripple) while
varying the autotransformer o utp ut voltage throughout the
regulating range fo r which this instrument is wired.
c Connect the probe tip to th e +100-volt test p o in t (see
Fig. 5-2A). Connect the probe ground lead to the Type
310A chassis near the test point.
Performance Check/Calibration— Type 310A
f. CHECK—Test oscilloscope display for less than one
division vertical deflection (10 m illivolts ripple) while
varying the autotransformer o utp ut voltage throughout the
regulating range.
g. Connect the probe tip to the +300-volt test p oint (see
Fig. 5-2A). Connect the probe ground lead to the Type
310A chassis near the test point.
h. C H E C K -T est oscilloscope display fo r less than four
divisions vertical deflection (40 m illivolts ripple) while
varying the autotransformer o utp ut voltage throughout the
regulating range fo r which this instrument is wired.
i. Return the autotransformer to the center voltage o f
the regulating range. (If the line voltage is near the center o f
the regulating range, the Type 310A can be connected
d irectly to the line; otherwise, leave the instrument con
nected to the autotransformer for the remainder o f this
procedure)
j. Disconnect all test equipment.

Check/Adjust DC Balance
a.
Connect the vertical INPUT connector to one o f the
ground posts on the front panel w ith the 18-inch BNC-to
banana plug patch cord.
b. Turn the TRIG LEVEL and S T A B IL IT Y controls
fu lly clockwise.
c. Advance the IN TEN SITY control u ntil a trace is
visible. If the trace is not visible w ith the INTENSITY
control set near midrange, preadjust the DC Bal adjustment
to bring the trace on screen (VER TIC AL POSITION con­
trol must be set to midrange).
d. Adjust the FOCUS control fo r as well-focused a dis
play as possible (trace may not focus well since the ASTIG
adjustment has not been performed yet).
e. Position the trace to the center horizontal line w ith
the V E R TIC A L POSITION control.
f. C H E C K -R otate the Variable V O LT S /D IV control
throughout its range. Trace should not move more than one
division vertically.
g ADJUST DC Bal adjustment, R344 (see Fig. 5 4),
fo r m inimum trace shift as the Variable VO LTS /D IV con­
trol is rotated.
h. Return
the Variable V O LT S /D IV to the C A L I­
BRATED position.
7. Check/Adjust Preset Stability
a. Set the Trigger Coupling-Mode switch to Auto.
