MAGNIFIED position and reposition the vortical trace to the
exact horizontal center of the graticule. (The HORIZONTAL
POSITION controls will appear extermely sensitive to touch
in the X I 00 position.) Now turn the HORIZONTAL DIS­
PLAY switch back to the NORMAL ( X I) position and adjust
SWP MAG REGIS R359 so that the trace falls exactly under
the cente,r graticule line. Repeat this adjustment several
times to obtain exact coincidence of the trace for both
positions of the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch.
step 13 before continuing to step 18.
Set the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch to NORMAL (X I),
the triggering controls for a stable display and the INTEN­
SITY control for normal brilliancy. Position the start of the
display to the left side of the graticule. Observe the marker
that appears near the center of the graticule and position
the display so that the center marker is aligned with the
center graticule line. Then turn the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY
switch to the X100 SWEEP MAGNIFIED position and posi­
tion the marker near the center graticule line so that ihe
leading edge is exactly aligned with the center graticule
line. Turn the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch through all
SWEEP MAGNIFIED positions back to NORMAL ( X I) and
observe the leading edge of the marker; it should remain
stationary, aligned with the cenier line of the graticule.
18. Check Sweep Rates — 1 msec to 5 sec

Apply 10p.sec markers from the Type 1 80A to the vertical
input connector, and adjust the triggering controls for a
stable display. Turn the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch to
X 5 SWEEP MAGNIFIED and horizontally position the trace
so tha- the first time marker is aligned with the center
graticule line. Then switch the TIME/CM switch to 50 ,aSEC
and check for horizonta shift of the first marker. If shift
occurs, adjust C337 (see Fig. 5-3) until the first marker of
both the .1 mSEC and 50 /.iSEC positions occur at the same
point.
Turn the HORIZONTAL DISPLAY switch to NORMAL
