X-Y
Operation
In
some
applications,
it is
desirable
to
display
one
signal
versus
another
(X-Y),
rather
than
against
the
internal
sweep
.
When
the
DISPLAY

push
button
is
pressed
and
re-
leased
to
the

all
other
front-panel

trols,
the
sweep,
and

functions
of

An
external
X
signal
can
now
be
connected
to
any
vertical
amplifier
unit
and
coupled through
the
internal
triggering
system
of
the
vertical
amplifier
unit,
the main-
frame,
and
the
Option

Time
Base
to
provide
the
horizon-
tal
deflection
on
the
mainframe
display
.
The
external
Y
signal
is
connected
to
the
remaining
amplifier
channel
to
provide
the
vertical
deflection
on
the
mainframe
display
.
The
advantages
of
using
the
internal
triggering
system
to
provide
the
X
signal
are
:
1
.
X-Y
operation
is
possible
with
one
dual-trace
amplifier
in
a
mainframe
vertical
compartment
.

.
X-Y
operation
is
possible
without
having
to
remove
a
time-base
unit
from
the
horizontal
compartment
of
the
mainframe
to
substitute
an
amplifier
unit
.
