Operating instructions

Option
2-71380
The
HI
level
prevents
mainframe
switching
commands
from
affecting
the
X-Y
display
.
This
same
HI
level
is
coupled
through
the
Lockout
Buffer
Amplifier
(Q201,
Q202,
and
Q206
on diagram
3) to
the
lockout
input
at
U220-pin
18,
to
cause
a
trigger
disable
level
at
U220
pin
17
thereby
dis-
abling
the
sweep
.
X-Y
LOGIC
.
In
the
X-Y
mode,
Q962
is
turned
on
and
its
collector
becomes
LO
.
This
LO
level
is
applied
to
the
base
of
Q372
in
the
Sweep
Gate Generator
(diagram
4) to
turn
it
off
and
to
maintain
the
LO
state
of
the
generator
.
The
Sweep
Gate
Generator
is
thereby
effectively
disabled
in
this
mode
.
The
resultant
H
I
at
the
collector
of
Q372
is
coupled through
emitter
follower
Q382
to
the
mainframe
to
keep
the
crt
display
unblanked
at
all
times
.

READOUT
INHIBIT
.
In
the
X-Y
mode,
the
Readout
In-
hibit
level
at
interface
connector
A37
is
held
HI
.
This
pre-
vents
the
mainframe
readout
circuitry
from
producing
a
readout
display
from
the
mainframe
plug-in
compartment
containing
the
Option 2
Time
Base
.
X-Y
COMPENSATION
.
In
the
X-Y
mode,
the
X-Y
Com-
pensation
level at
interface
connector
B10
is
held
LO
.
This
allows
a
compensation
network
to
be
switched
into
the
main-
frame
horizontal
signal
path
for
X-Y
compensation
(only
if
the
mainframe
contains
optional
X-Y
compensation
cir-
cuitry)
.
