g. Connect the probe from the test oscilloscope to pin 11
of the oscilloscope
Y-axis
interconnecting
socket.
(As
mentioned in step 14, pin 12 of the X-axis socket can
also be used as thé test point.)
. Check
the waveform
display on the test oscilloscope
for an amplitude of 12 volts or more (see Fig. 6-8a}.
Decrease
the
vertical

factor
of
the
test
oscilloscope for increased sensitivity to make
the dis-
play exactly four major divisions in amplitude on the
test oscilloscope crt.
(Do not move the Output Ampli-
tude contro] on the generator.)
Using
an appropriate
sweep
rate on the test oscillo-
scope
(2 usec/div.
and
set

measure
the
risetime
between
the
10%
and
80%
amplitude levels on the rising portion of the waveform
(see Fig. 6-8b).
The risetime should be 0.7 microseconds
or faster.

. Adjust L464 and L474 in equal increments to obtain an
optimum
square corner {see Fig. 6-10a) on the wave-
form,
without
appreciable
overshoot
and
ringing.
(Overshoot

should
not exceed

Fig. 6-10b shows one form of waveform dis-
tortion when
L464 and
