INSTALLATION
The
time-base unit
is
designed
to
operate
in
the
horizontal plug-in
compartment
of
the
mainframe.
This
instrument
can also be
installed in
a vertical plug-in
compartment
to
provide a vertical
sweep
on
the
crt.
However,
when
used
in
this
manner,
there are
no
internal triggering or
retrace blanking provisions,
and
the
unit
may
not
meet
specifications.
To
install
the
unit
in
a plug-in
compartment, push
it
in
until
it
fits
firmly into the
compartment.
The
front panel
of
the unit
should be flush
with
the
front
panel
of
the
mainframe. Even though
the gain
of the
mainframe
is
standardized, the
sweep
calibration of the
unit
should be
checked
when
installed.
The
procedure
for
checking the
unit
is
given
under
Sweep
Functions
in
the Operators
Checkout procedure
in
section 2
