Controls & Indicators
The controls on the oscilloscope are used to adjust for desired operation of the amplifier and CRT. The vertical gain or amplitude control or controls are used to vary the height of the vertical display. This is done by either varying the amount of input signal or by changing the amplifier gain. The vertical position control changes the DC voltage at the vertical deflection plates and allows the trace to be positioned vertically on the CRT face. The horizontal frequency (or sweep frequency) controls determine the frequency of the internal oscillator and thus the sweep speed, or rate of beam movement horizontally. The horizontal gain control varies the gain or signal level to the horizontal plates to change the length of trace or sweep width. The horizontal position control changes the DC voltage to the horizontal deflection plates and allows the beam to be positioned horizontally on the CRT screen. The focus control changes the accelerating voltage to the screen grid to produce a small, sharp spot when the beam strikes the CRT phosphor. The brightness control varies the bias between the cathode and control grid to determine the intensity of the electron beam.
