The appropriate power cord is supplied by an option that is
specified when the instrument is ordered.
The optional power cords are shown as follows in Fig. 1.

Line fuse
The fuse holder is located on the rear panel and contains
the line fuse. Verify that the proper fuse is installed by
replacing the line fuse.

EQUIPMENT PROTECTION
1. Never allow a small spot of high brilliance to remain sta-
tionary on the screen for more than a few seconds. The
screen may become permanently burned. A spot will oc-
cur only when the scope is set up for X - Y operation and
no signal is applied. Either reduce the intensity so the
spot is barely visible, switch back to normal sweep
operation when no signal is applied, or set up the scope
for spot blanking.
2. Never cover the ventilating holes on the top of the
oscilloscope, as this will increase the operating
temperature inside the case.
3. Never apply more than the maximum rating to the
oscilloscope inputs.
C H 1 , CH2 INPUT jacks: 500 Vp-p or 250 V (dc + ac
peak)
EXT TRIG INPUT jack: 2 5 0 V (dc + ac peak)
Z axis INPUT jack: 50 V (dc + ac peak)
Never apply external voltage to the oscilloscope output
terminals.
4. Always connect a cable from the earth ground (GND)
jack of the oscilloscope to the chassis of the equipment
under test. Without this caution, the entire current for
the equipment under test may be drawn through the
probe clip leads under certain circumstances. Such con-
ditions could also pose a safety hazard, which the
ground cable will prevent.

(5) VIDEO SIGNAL OBSERVATION

The A SWEEP TIME/DIV control permits selection of ver-
tical or horizontal sync pulse for sweep triggering when
viewing composite video waveforms. In the LINE position,
(50 jts/div to 20 ns/div) horizontal sync pulses are selected
as triggers to permit viewing of horizontal line of video. In
the FRAME (0.5 s/div to 0.1 ms/div) position, vertical
sync pulses are selected as triggers to permit viewing of
vertical fields and frames of video. When observing the
video waveforms, stable display is obtained on the screen
regardless the trigger LEVEL @ control.
At most points of measurement, a composite video signal
is of the (—) polarity, that is, the sync pulses are negative
and the video is positive. In this case, use " —" SLOPE.
If the waveform is taken at a circuit point where the video
waveform is inverted, the sync pulses are positive and the
video is negative. In this case, use " + " SLOPE.

The jitter time is this width in division multiplied by the

Using the formula:

[EXAMPLE]
The example shows a case in which the jitter width was
measured at 1.6 divisions wide with the B SWEEP
TIME/DIV set at 0.2 /ts. (See Fig. 27)
Substituting the given value:
