Figure 3-6. VCG Voltage-to-Frequency Nomograph
Figure 3-6 is a nomograph with examples of dial and voltage
effects. Example
1
shows that with
OV VCG
input, fre·
quency is as determined by the main dial setting,
1.0
in this
example. Example
2
shows that with
c;i
positive
VCG
input,
output frequency is increased. Example 3 shows that with a
negative
VCG
input, output frequency is decreased. (Note
that the Output
Frequen~y
Factor column value must be
multiplied by a frequency range multiplier to give the actual
output frequency.)
NOTE
The frequency vernier must be rotated fully
ccw for 1000:1 range.
Nonlinear operation resu/'ts when the VCG input
voltage is excessive; that is, when the attempted
generator frequency exceeds the range setting
(2 times the multiplier setting) or in the other
direction, 1 /1000th of the range setting.
The up to
1000:1 VCG
sweep of the generator frequencies
available in each range results from a
2V
excursion at the
VCG
IN connector. With the frequency dial set to
2.0,
ex·
cursions between
-2V
and
OV
at
VCG
IN provide the up to
1000: 1
frequency sweep. With the dial set to
.002,
excur·
sions between
OV
and
+2V
at
VCG
IN provide the up to
1000: 1
sweep within the set frequency range.

Delay of Triggered Pulse
Additional pulse delay is· available in triggered mode. Not!
only is the PULSE DE LAY usable, but the % cycle delay
between trigger acceptance and sync pulse shown in
figure 3-7 can also be variable delay.
Merely determine the delay desired and apply this formula
for the frequency setting:
Frequency in Hz
=

d

d )
• e ay m secon s
Then, adjust the pulse width for your desired pulse. Practical
range with· the frequency dial and multiplier is
1
ms to
42 minutes. Delay control range is 50 ns to
10
ms .
Frequency vernier and start/stop control also affect the
delay. So, for accurate frequency dial control of delay, set
these at their cal positions.
