1. PRODUCT INTRODUCTION

1.1 Description

The GOS-620 oscilloscope is a portable-type, dual-channel oscilloscope, its bandwidth of DC is up to 20MHz, and its maximum sensitivity is 1mV/DIV. The time base provides a maximum sweep time of 0.2uS/DIV. The sweep speed becomes 100nS/DIV after magnifying 10 times. The oscilloscope uses a 6-inch rectangular type cathode-ray tube with red internal graticule.

The product is sturdy, easy to operate and exhibits high operational reliability.

1.2 Features

1) High intensity CRT with high acceleration voltage:

The CRT is a high beam transmission and high intensity type with a high acceleration voltage of 2kV. It displays readable traces clearly even at high sweep speeds.

2) Wide bandwidth and sensitivity:

In addition to wide bandwidth, DC-20MHz (-3dB), the instrument provides high sensitivity of 5mV/DIV (1mV/DIV at ×

5 MAG). A 20MHz frequency is obtained with improved triggering synchronization.

3) Alternate triggering:

Even with an observation of two different frequency waveforms, each waveform can be triggered stably.

4) TV sync triggering:

The oscilloscope has a sync separator circuit for TV-V and TV-H signals triggering.

5) CH1 Output:

A signal from 50

Ω output terminal of CH1 located on rear panel can be applied to frequency counter or other instruments.

6) Z-Axis Input:

Intensity modulation capability permits time or frequency markers to be added. Trace blank with positive signal, TTL compatible.

7) X-Y operation:

Set the switch to X-Y to operate the instrument as an X-Y oscilloscope. CH1 can be applied as a horizontal deflection (X-axis) while CH2 provides vertical deflection (Y-axis).

5-2.Dual-channel Operation

Set the VERT MODE switch to DUAL to display trace in CH2 (The procedure is same as CH1 described in previous section). At this step, the calibrator signal appears in CH1 is Square wave, but it appears in CH2 is a straight line as no z Fig. 5-2 signal applied to this channel yet.

Now, apply the calibrator signal to the vertical input terminal of CH2 through the probe with the same procedure as for CH1. Set the AC-GND-DC switch to AC, and adjust vertical POSITION knobs (11) and (19), the signals will be displayed on both channels as shown in Figure 5-2.

When ALT/CHOP switch is released (ALT MODE), the input signals which applied respectively to CH1and CH2 appears on the screen alternately at each sweep. This setting is used when the sweep time is short in 2-channel observation.

When ALT/CHOP switch is pressed (CHOP MODE), the input signals which applied to CH1and CH2 are chopped and display on the screen at the same time with the frequency of 250kHz. This setting is used for low speed sweep.

Set to dual channel operation (DUAL or ADD mode), select CH1 or CH2 signal from SOURCE switch to get triggering source signal. If both CH1 and CH2 signals are in a synchronized relation, both waveforms will be displayed in stationary states. If not, only a signal stationary waveform will be appeared. If press TRIG. ALT push button, both waveforms can also be displayed in stationary states.

5-3.ADD Operation

An algebraic sum of the CH1 and CH2 signals can be displayed on the screen by setting the VERT MODE switch to ADD.

The displayed signal will be difference between CH1 and CH2 if press CH2 INV push button. Adjust

56

POSITION knob of CH1 or CH2 can make vertical position, to the advantage of the linearity of the vertical amplifiers, it’s better to set

56

POSITION knob of both channels in middle position.

5-4.Triggering

Proper triggering is essential for an efficient operation of the instrument. Users must make themselves familiar with the triggering functions and procedures thoroughly:

(1)Functions of MODE switch:

AUTO

Select automatic sweep operation by setting to AUTO mode, the sweep generator will freely generate a sweep without a trigger signal. However, it will automatically switch to triggering sweep operation if an acceptable trigger source signal is present. The AUTO mode is handy for observing the waveform when first set up the instrument, as it provides sweep function for waveform observation until properly set to other mode. Once starting to set the control mode, the operation often jumps back to the NORM trigger mode as it is much more sensitive. Automatic sweep must be used for DC measurements and signals with low amplitude in order not to trigger the sweep.

NORM The NORM mode provides normal triggering sweep operation. The sweep will not act until the selected trigger source signal crosses the threshold level by setting

TRIG LEVEL control knob. The triggering generate one sweep which will come to inactivate until another triggering

TV-V occurs. In the NORM mode, there will be no trace unless an adequate trigger signal is present. In the ALT mode of dual trace operation with NORM sweep selected, there will be no trace unless both CH1 and CH2 signals are adequate for triggering.

Set the MODE switch to TV-V mode, select vertical sync pulses for sweep triggering to view composite video waveforms. Select vertical sync pulses as a triggering to view vertical fields and frames of video. A sweep time of 2 ms/div is appropriate for viewing fields of video and 5 ms/div for complete frames (two interlaced fields) of video.

 17 


TV-H Set the MODE switch to TV-H mode and select horizontal sync pulses for sweep triggering to view composite video waveforms. Select horizontal sync pulses as a triggering to view horizontal lines of video. A sweep time of about 10 us/div is appropriate for displaying lines of video. Display the exact number of desired waveforms by setting SWP VAR control knob.

This oscilloscope synchronizes with only (-) polarity, that is, the sync pulses are negative and the video is positive as shown in Fig. 5-3. z Fig. 5-3

(2)Functions of SOURCE switch:

Apply the displayed signal itself or a trigger signal, which has a time relationship with the displayed signal, to the trigger circuit to display a stationary signal on the CRT screen. The SOURCE switch is used for selecting these trigger sources.

CH1

CH2

LINE

The internal trigger source is used most commonly.

The signal applied to the vertical input terminal is branched off away from the preamplifier and is fed to the trigger circuit through the VERT MODE switch. Since the trigger signal is the measured signal itself, a stable waveform can be readily displayed on the CRT screen. When in the DUAL or ADD operation, the selected signal through the SOURCE switch is used as a trigger source signal.

The AC power line frequency signal is used as a trigger signal. This method is effective when the measured signal has a relationship with the AC line frequency, especially for measurements of low level AC noise of audio equipment, thyristor circuits, etc.

EXT

The sweep is triggered by an external signal applied to the external trigger input terminal. An external signal which has a periodic relationship with the measured signal is used. Because the measured signal is not used as the triggering signal, the waveforms can be displayed more independent than the measured signal.

 18 


(3)Functions of TRIG LEVEL control knob and SLOPE button:

A sweep triggering is developed when the trigger source signal crosses a preset threshold level. Rotate TRIG LEVEL control knob to vary the threshold level. In the “+” direction, the trigger threshold shifts to a more positive value, and in the

“-“ direction, the trigger threshold shifts to a more negative value. When set the control knob in the center, the threshold level will be on the average of the signal used as the trigger source.

Adjust TRIG LEVEL control knob for the desired start point of sweep on a waveform. On sine wave signals, the phase at which sweep begins is variable. Note that if rotate TRIG LEVEL control knob toward its extreme “+” or “-”, no sweep will be developed in the NORM trigger mode because the trigger threshold exceeds the peak amplitude of the sync signal.

When set TRIG SLOPE button to the (+) position (up), the sweep is developed form the trigger source waveform as it crosses the threshold level in a positive-going direction. When set TRIG SLOPE button to the (-) position (down), a sweep triggering is developed from the trigger source waveform as it crosses the threshold level in a negative-going direction. The slope (polarity) trigger signal as shown in Figure 5-4. z

Fig. 5-4

(4) Function of TRIG ALT button:

The TRIG ALT button is used to select alternate triggering and display the selected DUAL-trace of VERT MODE (the switch control knob CH1, CH2, DUAL and ADD modes). In the alternate trigger mode (when select dual-trace operation), the trigger source alternates between CH1 and CH2 with each sweep. This is convenient for checking amplitudes, wave-shape, or waveform period measurements, and even permits simultaneously observing two waveforms which are not related to frequency or period. However, this setting is not suitable for phase or timing comparison measurements. For such measurements, both traces must be triggered by the same sync signal.

If press both CHOP and TRIG ALT buttons during dual-trace operation, synchronization of the display is not possible because the chopping signal will be triggered. Use ALT mode itself, or select CH1 or CH2 as trigger source.

5-5.TIME/DIV Control

Set the TIME/DIV switch to display the desired number of cycles of the waveform. If there are too many cycles displayed with good resolution, set to increase the sweep speed. If only a line is displayed, try to slow down the sweep speed. When the sweep speed is faster than the observed waveform, only part of it will be displayed, which may appear as a straight line for a Square wave or Pulse waveform.

5-6.Sweep Magnification

When a certain part of displayed waveform is needed to be expanded timewise, a faster sweep speed may be used.

However, if the required portion is apart from the starting point of the sweep, it may run off the CRT screen. In this case, push the

×10MAG button to expand 10 times the displayed waveform from the right to the left in the center of screen. The sweep time with the magnification operation is as follows:

(Value indicated by TIME/DIV switch) x 1/10

Thus, the unmagnified maximum sweep speed (1nSec/DIV) can be increased with the magnification as follows：

1

µSec/DIV x 1/10 = 100nSec/DIV z

FIG. 5-5

5-7.X-Y Operation

z FIG. 5-6

Set the TIME/DIV switch to X-Y position to operate the instrument as an X-Y oscilloscope. Each input is applied to the instrument as follows

X-axis signal (horizontal axis signal ) : CH1 INPUT.

Y-axis signal (vertical axis signal) : CH2 INPUT.

Note:

When high frequency signals are displayed in X-Y operation, pay attention to the frequency bandwidth and phase

difference between X and Y-axis.

The X-Y operation permits the oscilloscope to perform many state-of-the-art measurements which the conventional sweep operation could not make. The CRT display becomes an electronic graph of two instantaneous voltages. The display may be a direct comparison of the two voltages such as a vectorscope display of video color bar patterns. However, the X-Y mode can almost be used in graph of any dynamic characteristic if a transducer is adopted to change the characteristic (frequency, temperature, velocity, etc.) of voltage. One common application is frequency response measurements that the Y-axis corresponds to signal amplitude and the X-axis corresponds to frequency.

1. Set the TIME/DIV control knob to the X-Y position (fully counterclockwise), CH1 becomes the X-axis input and CH2 becomes the Y-axis input.

2. Adjust X and Y positions by using the horizontal

34

POSITION and CH2

56

POSITION control knobs respectively.

3. Adjust the amount of vertical (Y-axis) deflection by using CH2 VOLTS/DIV and VAR control knobs.

4. Adjust the amount of horizontal (X-axis) deflection by using CH1 VOLTS/DIV and VAR control knobs.

5-8.Calibration of Probe

As explained previously, the probe makes up a wide range attenuator. Unless phase compensation is properly done, the displayed waveform will be distortion causing measurement errors. Therefore, the probe must be properly compensated before use. Connect 10:1 probe BNC to the INPUT terminal of CH1 or CH2 and set VOLTS/DIV switch at 50mV. Connect the probe tip to the calibration voltage output terminal and adjust the compensation trimmer on probe for optimum Square wave

(minimum overshoot, rounding off and tilt). z FIG. 5-7

(a) Correct compensation (b) Over compensation

(c) Insufficient compensation

5-9.DC BAL Adjustments

The ATT balance of the vertical axis can be adjusted easily.

(1) Set the input coupling switches of CH1 and CH2 to GND and set the TRIG MODE to AUTO, then position the base line to the center.

(2) Adjust the VLOTS/DIV switch to 5mV-10mV and fix the line does not move.

5-10.Function Generator

The instrument also provides the basic features of Function Generator to satisfy general demand with simply and intuitional operation method by adjusting the control knobs directly from front panel for output waveform, amplitude, DC level and etc.

All the control knobs located in front panel are marked with the same color to prevent missetting.

6.MAINTENANCE

WARNING

The following instructions are executed by qualified personnel only. To avoid electrical shock, do not perform any servicing other than the operating instructions unless you are qualified to do so.

6-1.Fuse Replacement

If the fuse blows, the power lamp indicators will not light and the instrument will not start. The fuse holder should not normally be opened unless a problem has been caused to the unit. Try to determine and correct the cause of the blown fuse and replace with a fuse of correct rating and type (see page 7 ) on the rear panel (see fig. 4-2).

WARNING. For continued fire protection. Replace fuse only with 250V fuse of the specified type and rating, and disconnect power cord before replacing fuse.

6-2 Line Voltage Conversion

The primary winding of the power transformer is tapped to permit operation from 115V, or 230VAC 50/60Hz line voltage.

Conversion from one line voltage to another is done by changing the line voltage selector switch as shown in Fig. 4-2. The rear panel identifies the line voltage to which the unit was factory set. To convert to a different line voltage, perform the following procedure:

(1)Make sure the power cord is unplugged.

(2)Adjust the line voltage selector switch to the desired line voltage position.

(3)A change in line voltage may also require a corresponding change of fuse value. Install the correct fuse value as listed on rear panel.

6-3 Cleaning

To clean the instrument, use a soft cloth dampened in a solution of mild detergent and water. Do not spray cleaner directly onto the unit because it may leak into the cabinet and cause damage. Do not use chemicals containing benzine, benzene, toluene, xylene, acetone, or similar solvents. Do not use abrasive cleaners on any portion of the oscilloscope.
