The HM 604 accepts all signals from DC (direct voltage) up To obtain the maximum life from the cathode-ray tube, the to a frequency of at least 60MHz (-3dB). For sinewave minimum intensity setting necessary for the measurement voltages the upper frequency limit will be 80MHz. How- in hand and the ambient light conditions should be used.

Providing these essential features, as well as switch-select- able output-frequencies, the calibrator of the HM 604 can, under certain conditions, replace expensive squarewave generators when testing or compensating wideband- attenuators or -amplifiers.
