out regard for the de level involved. In the AC po
sition the input signal (vertical or horizontal) is cou
pled to the amplifier through a capacitor which re
moves the de component from the input wave. This
coupling circuit has a low frequency cut-off at 2 cps;
however, to avoid degrading input pulses or square
waves below 200 cps it is advisable to use de coupling.

Basic operating procedures are illustrated in the
drawings that follow. Directions are given for the
cabinet model but are the same for the rack mount
model except that the placement of the controls is
different.
The first two procedures are complete. The others
are arranged to supplement the first two by showing
the variations possible in using the oscilloscope. An
index to these illustrations follows:
