® Power PROBE STORAGE Cord-Used when instrument is to be operated To store the probe, lay the common clip lead parallel to on power I ine voltage or the batteries are being char the probe lead, and attach the common clip to the probe ged.
OPERATING POWER INFORMATION INTERNAL BATTERY OPERATION This instrument features battery operation from two inter The 213 can be operated while the batteries are being char nal rechargeable nickel-cadmium cells. The operating time ged. of the internal batteries depends upon display intensity, battery charge and discharge temperature, and the function NOTE (DMM or Oscilloscope) being used.
Nickel-cadmium cells will self-discharge when the instrument WARNING is not used or is stored for extended periods of ti me. The rate of self-discharge is dependent upon temperature and hu Potentially dangerous voltages exist inside this midity. When the instrument is to be stored for extended instrument when it is operating.

CURRENT (mA) INPUT FUSE REPLACEMENT Replace the mA input protective fuse as follows: 1. Remove the bottom cabinet half as described in steps 1 and 2 of the Power Line Fuse Replacement instructions. 2. Unplug the mA protective fuse from its socket (see Fig. 9).
OPERATORS ADJUSTMENTS AND BASIC DISPLAYS This section provides instructions for making initial operators adjustments and obtaining basic displays. Since these proce dures involve most of the controls and connectors, they can be used for basic familiarization on the operation of the in strument.
3. Set the SEC/DIV control to .5 m and adjust the vertical Set the controls as follows: POS control so the trace coincides with the center horizon tal graticule line. If the trace is not parallel with this line, POWER adjust the TRACE ROTATE control (screwdriver adjustment INPUT COUPLING on the side panel) for coincidence.
3. Reverse the probe tip and common clip connections and 6. Depress the RMS pushbutton and select a VOL TS-mA/ note that the numerical reading remains approximately the DIV range (blue scale) compatible with the amplitude of the same but the opposite polarity sign is displayed. Disconnect current generated by the ac voltage source and a series cur...
2. Set the DMM pushbutton to the out position and INPUT 4. Set TRIGGER switch to NORM and rotate the LEVEL COUPLING switch to AC. Select a VOL TS-mA/DIV range SLOPE control to obtain a stable display at some position (black scale) compatible with the amplitude of the ac voltage on both slopes of the control.
APPLICATIONS AND MEASUREMENTS Once the operator becomes familiar with the instrument and makes the initial operator's adjustments, this section will aid in making measurements. Basically. this instrument is used the same as if it were an individual multimeter or general purpose oscilloscope with the added convenience of being able to change modes with the push of a switch.
the mA-S1 lead will be at a negative potential with respect to of the ac portion of the signal. In the DC position of the the common connection. The potential across the unknown INPUT COUPLING switch, the reading is the rms value of resistance is -1 V per 1000 counts on the 10 kS1 th rough the combined ac and de signal.
Substituting: EXAMPLE: The vertical distance measured in 5 divisions (see Fig. 11), the waveform is above the reference I ine, and the VOL TS-mA/DIV control is set to .5. 5 x +1 x .5 = +2.5 V Using the formula: If a negative voltage is to be measured, position the trace to the top graticule Ii ne and measure between A and C (see vertical...

EXAMPLE: The reference signal time-duration is 2.19 ms EXAMPLE: The VOL TS-mA/DIV control is set to 1 and (455 Hz) with the SEC/DIV control set to .2 m, and the the vertical deflection of the signal is 5 divisions. HORIZ MGF VAR control adjusted to provide a horizontal Su bsti tuti ng: 1 x 1.5 x 5 = 7.5 V deflection of 8 divisions.
Risetime Risetime measurements use the same methods as time-dura � "" tion measurements, except the measurements are made be 9 0% -POINT tween the 10% and 90% points of the waveform. Falltime is measured between the 90% and 10% points on the trailing edge of the waveform.
Elevated Reference Voltage WARNING Elevated reference is a method of making a voltage measure ment with respect to some reference voltage level rather than Before making elevated reference measurements, to a zero reference. These measurements are made by con refer to the Common Isolation specifications at necting the probe common clip or the COMMON jack directly the rear of this manual, and the Common Con...
