CALIBRATION PROCEDURE
The following procedure is arranged in a sequence that
allows the Type 1S1 to be calibrated with a minimum of
adjustment interaction. Each step contains complete in-
formation for performing that step. The sequence includes
procedures for checking performance as well as those re-
quired for adjusting the calibration controls. To make only
the control adjustments without checking performance of
the instrument, perform only the "Adjust'' steps and omit
the "Check" steps. (The symbol
venience in locating the "Adjust" steps.) Any equipment
connections or control settings that are changed during
the omitted steps must be noted and performed if neces-
sary. If any adjustment steps are performed individually
or out of sequence, subsequent adjustment steps may also
need to be checked, since some adjustments affect the cali-
bration of other circuits.
To identify the two oscilloscopes used in the procedure,
the one that is operated in conjunction with the Type 1S1
is called the "indicator oscilloscope" and the one that is
used for making waveform and voltage checks is referred
to as the "test oscilloscope.''
at
Use a short ground lead on the test probe. Whenever
the probe is connected to a test point, clip the ground lead
to chassis ground. Failure to ground the probe cable may
result in the appearance of ringing on the signal.
Do not preset any calibration adjustments unless they
are known to be significantly out of adjustment or unless
repairs have been made in the circuit. In these cases, set
the particular controls to midrange.
Readjust the indicator oscilloscope Intensity control as
needed during the procedure to provide an adequate dis-
play that is not excessively bright. This is especially im-
portant when a stationary spot or very slow trace is being
displayed. A stationary spot can damage the crt screen
if the intensity is too great.
An initial test equipment setup picture is shown for each
major group of adjustments and checks. Beneath each
setup picture is a complete list of front-panel control set-
tings of the Type 1S1, plus significant control settings of
other instruments. Any control that has been changed from
the setting at the end of the previous step is given in bold-
face type. Throughout the procedure, except where noted
otherwise, the TIME/CM (MAGNIFIER) knob is locked to
the TIME POSITION RANGE switch.
Preliminary Procedure
1. Remove the left side panel of the indicator oscillo-
scope.
2. Connect the power cord of the indicator oscilloscope
to the output of the autotransformer.
3. Place the Type 1S1 upside-down in front of the indi-
cator oscilloscope.
4. Connect the interconnecting plug of the Type 1S1 to
the indicator oscilloscope through the 30-inch flexible ex-
tension cable (see Fig. 5-3).
5. Connect the autotransformer and the other test in-
struments to the power line.
