L300 raster oscilloscope (Dec 1976) (Engineering Materials). [285 drawings]
Design drawings, parts lists, and an operation and maintenance manual are given for a raster oscilloscope which provides a high resolution method of measuring time intervals in the range of 1 to 199 microseconds. Other time ranges are available as options. Raster display is used, with time mark signals, to obtain high resolution. The raster technique is similar in nature to that used in reproducing a television picture. The electron beam sweeps in a vertical direction and a horizontal direction simultaneously across the screen of a cathode ray tube (CRT). The raster display gives a sweep length equivalent to the number of lines multiplied by the time interval of a single line. The maximum number of lines displayable must be determined by the user. Variables such as CRT sensitivity and spot size, film type and raster size must be considered. 70 lines is typical (175 microseconds). This makes optimum use of a CRT face for displaying data.
