Ground: Test Point 10
Read Differentially: A plus B, B inverted
Time Base: 20 milliseconds per division
External Trigger: Test Point 7
2 . Apply power to the drive.

5.11 HEAD OUTPUT CHECK
The head output check measures the head' s
output amplitude relative to the diskette being
used. When using certified, quality media, typi­
cal values will be 200 millivolts peak-to-peak or
greater. However, values may be significantly
less, 100 millivolts peak-to-peak typical, if infe­
rior or defective media is used, and does not indi­
cate a faulty head.
