circuit board assembly.

10. Check External Triggering

a. Equipment setup is given in step 9.
b. Remove the audia signal connection from pin H of the
Vertical Amplifier circuit board and apply the signal to both
the TRIG IN connector on the rear panel of the Type 491
and to a test oscilloscope so the signal amplitude may be
monitored.
c. Set the Audio Signal Generator frequency to 20 Hz and
adjust the output for 0.2 volts. (Monitor the output ampli-
tude with the test oscilloscope.)
d. Change the Type 491 Triggering SOURCE switch to
EXT position and the TIME/DIV switch to .1 s position.
e. Check external triggering. Must trigger with a 20 Hz,
0.2 volt signal applied, with the SLOPE switch in either the
+ or - positions.
f. Increase the Audio Signal Generator frequency to 100
kHz. Readjust the output amplitude to 0.2 volts peak to
peak.
g. Check triggering-Must trigger with a 100 kHz, 0.2 V
signal in the + and - SLOPE positions.
h. Remove the audio signal from the TRIG IN connector.
