3. Adjust the FOCUS control for
vertical sections of the display.
4. Repeat the two adjustments for
display definition.
Trace Alignment
If a free running trace is not parallel to the horizontal
graticule lines, the trace may be aligned by means of an
internal Trace Rotation adjustment. Refer to the Calibration
section.

Signal Application
mined by its frequency and level. Signals between 10 MHz
and 275 MHz are applied to the Band A, BNC connector.
Frequencies from 275 MHz to 2 GHz are applied to the band
B, N-type connector, and band C covers the remaining fre-
quency range from 1.5 GHz to 40 GHz. Signals should be
applied through the standard cables supplied with the ac-
cessories. Cables such as RG 9B/U will give satisfactory per-
formance to approximately 12.4 GHz. Signals in the 12.4
GHz to 40 GHz range are applied to external Waveguide
Mixers which connect through a two-foot coaxial cable and
a Waveguide Mixer Adapter to the input receptacle. The
Waveguide Mixer Adapter replaces the Coaxial Mixer As-
sembly in the input receptacle.
