GENERAL 1 Description Kikusui Model COS5020/5021 Oscilloscope is a dual-channel oscilloscope with frequency bandwidth DC - 20 Miz (-3 dB), maximum sensitivity 1 aV/DIV, and maximum sweep time 20 nsec/DIV. Model 5021 has a sweep magnification feature with B sweep. The oscilloscope employs a 6-inch rectangular type cathode-ray tube with red internal graticule. The oscilloscope is sturdy, easy to operate, and exhibits a high operation reliability. It is incorporated with the various con- venient features and excellent functions, making icself an ideul instrument for diversified types of research and development work of electronic devices and equipment it can also be efficiently used for production lines and for maintenance and service. 2 Features (1) Compact, light, but sturdy: The oscilloscope is made of aluminium diecast and it is compact, light, but sturdy. (2) Excellent operability: Light torque types of lever switches and pushbutton switches are used. These and other controls are laid out in the most rational locations taking purposes and frequencies of their uses into con- sideration, thereby attaining an excellent operability. (3) High intensity CRT with high acceleration voltage: The CRT is a high beam transmission, high intensity type with a high acceleration voltage of 2.2 kV. It displays clearly readable traces even at high sweep speeds. aie«ay () (6) a High stability with less drif The oscilloscope employs 2 newly-developed temperature compen~ sation circuit, thereby greatly reducing drift of base lines and DC balance distrubance caused by temperature change. A trigger level lock function which makes triggering adjust- ment procedure unnecessary: A new trigger level lock circuit is incorporated. This circuit eliminates the requirement of troublesome triggering adjustment procedure not or nly for display of regular signals but also for that of video signals and large duty cycle ratio signals. TV syne triggering: The oscilloscope has a sync separator circuit and triggering for TV V signal and TV H signal can be automatically switched being linked to the ‘TIME/DIV switch. Linear focus: Once the beam focus is adjusted to the optimum position, it is automatically maintained irrespective of intensity change, even for such waveforms with brightness variation as those displayed in the A INTEN mode.Vertical axes SPECIFICATIONS Iten Specification Remarks Sensitivity NORM: 5 mV - 5 v/DIV 1-2-5 sequence, x5 MAG: 1 nV - 1 V/DIV 10 ranges Sensitivity NORM: 43% or better 10 to 35°C accuracy (50 to 95°F), x5 MAG: 45% or better 1 kz, at 4 or 5 DIV Vernier vertical To 1/2.5 or less of panel- sensitivity indicated value Frequency NORM: DC ~ 20 Miz, within | With reference to bandwidth 73 dB 50 kHz, 8 DIV x5 MAG: DC - 15 Miz, within -3 4B AG coupling: Low limit frequency 10 Bz Rise time NORM: Approx. 17.5 nsec x5 MAG: Approx. 23 nsec Input impedance 1 Mo £2%, 25 pF #2 pF Square wave characteristics Overshoot: Not greater than 3% Other distortions: Not greater than 2% (At 10 mV /DIV range) Other ranges: 3% added to the left values. 10 to 35°C (50 to 95°F) DC balance shift NORM: 20.5 DIV x5 MAG: 42.0 DIV Linearity 40.1 DIV or less of ampli- tude change when waveform of 2 DIV at graticule center is moved vertically.

PRECAUTIONS BEFORE OPERATING THE OSCILLOSCOPE 3.1 Unpacking the Oscilloscope The oscilloscope is shipped from the factory after being fully inspected and tested. Upon receipt of the instrument, inmedi~ ately unpack and inspect it for any damage which might have been sustained when in transportation. If any sign of damage is found, inmediately notify the bearer and/or the dealer. 3.2 Checking the Line Voltage ‘The oscilloscope can operate on any one of the line voltages shown in the below table, by inserting the line voltage selector plug in the corresponding position on the rear panel. Before connecting the power plug to an AC line outlet, be sure to check that the voltage selector plug is set in the correct position corresponding to the line voltage. Note the oscilloscope may not properly operate or may be damaged if it is connected to a wrong voltage AC line. When line voltages are changed, replace fuses also as required.

In about 20 seconds, a trace will appear on the CRT screen. If no trace appears in about 60 seconds, repeat the switch and control settings as shown in the above table. 2) Adjust the trace to an appropriate brightness and sharpest image with the INTEN control and FOCUS control. 3, Align the trac. with the horizontal center line of graticule by adjusting the CH1 POSITION control and TRACE ROTATION control (screwdriver adjust). 4) Connect the probe (supplied) to the CHI INPUT terminal, and apply the 2 Vp-p CALIBRATOR signal to the probe tip. 5) Set the AC-GND-DC switch in the AC state, A waveform as shown in Figure 4-4 will be displayed on the CRT screen. Figure 4-4 6) Adjust the FOCUS control so that the trace image becomes sharpest. 7) For signal viewing, set the VOLTS/DIV switch and TIME/DIV switch in appropriate positions so that the signal waveform is displayed with an appropriate amplitude and an appropriate number of peaks. = 26 -8) Adjust the 4 POSITION and «+ POSITION controls to appropriate positions so that the displayed waveform is aligned with the graticule and the voltage (Vp-p) end period (T) can be read as desired. ‘The above procedure is the basic operating procedure of the oscilloscope for single-channel operation with CH1. Single-channel operation with CH2 also can be made in a similar manner. Further operation methods are explained in the subsequent paragraphs. 4.4 Dual~channel Operation Change the VERT MODE switch to the DUAL position so that the other trace (CH2) also is displayed. (The trace explained in the preceding section was for CH1.) At this state of procedure, the Ci trace has the square wave of the calibration signal and the CH2 trace has a straight line since no signal is applied to this channel yet. Now, apply the calibration signal also to the vertical input terminal of GH2 with the probe as was the case for GHi, Set the AC-GND-DC switch at the AC position. Adjust vertical POSITION knobs @) and @9) s0 that two channels of signals are displayed as shown in Figure 4-5. <5 Signal of cal Right Figure 4-11 -33-(5) © LEVEL Lock When the LEVEL knob is set at the LEVEL LOCK position, the triggering level is automatically maintained within the amplitude of the triggering signal and stable triggering is made without requiring level adjustment (although jitter may not be suppressed during the ALT mode operation). This automatic level lock function is effective when the signal amplitude on the screen or the input voltage of the exter- nal triggering signal is within the following range: 50 Hz - 10 Mz: 1.0 DIV (0.15 V) or less 50 Hz ~ 20 MHz: 2.0 DIV (0.25 V) or less Functions of HOLD OFF control: When the measured signal has a complex waveform with two or more repetition frequencies (periods), triggering with the above- mentioned LEVEL control alone may not be sufficient for attain- ing a stable waveform display. In such a case, the sweep can be stably synchronized to the measured signal waveform by adjust- ing the HOLD OFF time (sweep pause time) of the sweep waveforn. The control covers at least the time of one full sweep, for sweeps faster than 0.2 sec/DIV. Figure 4-11 (D) shows © case for HOLD OFF knob at the NORA position.

Such signals can be measured by displaying then in the single-sweep mode on the screen and photographing then, © Measurement of non-repetitive signal: (1) Set the SWEEP MODE in the NORM state, (2) Apply the measured signal to the vertical input terminal and adjust the triggering level, (3) Set the SWEEP MODE in the SINGLE state (the three pushbutton switches are pushed out). eas(4) Press the RESET button. The sweep. will run only for one cycle and measured signal will be displayed only once on the screen. © Measurement of one-shot signal: (1) Set the SWEEP MODE at the NORM position. (2) Apply the calibration output signal to the vertical input terminal, and adjust the triggering level at a value corres~ ponding to the predicted amplitude of the measured signal. (3) Set the SWEEP MODE at the SINGLE position. Apply the measuted signal, instead of the calibration signal, to the vertical input terminal. (4) Depress the RESET button. The sweep circuit will become in the ready state and the READY lanp will light on. (5) As the one-shot signal occurs in the input circuit, the sweep runs only for one cycle and the one-shot signal is displayed on the CRT sereen. The single-sweep operation can be done also with A INTEN B sweep. However, it cannot be done in the dual-channel ALT mode operation. For dual-channel one-sweep operation, use the CHOP mode. 4.9 Sweep Magnification When a certain position of the displayed waveform is needed to be expanded timewise, a faster sweep speed may be used. However, if the required portion is far away from the starting point of the sweep, the required portion may run off the CRT screen. In such case, pull out (set in the x10 MAG state) the sweep VARIABLE kNoB @) . When this is done, the displayed waveform is expanded by 10 times to right or left with the center of screen at the center of expansion. ae10 x magnification a Any part can be covered by means of POSITION control. Figure 4-13 ‘The sweep time when in the magnification operation is as follows: (Value indicated by TIME/DIV switeh) x 1/10 Thus, the unmagnified maximum sweep speed (0.2 usec/DIY) can be made faster with magnification as follows: 0.2 yisec/DIV x 1/10 = 20 nsec/DIV When the sweep {s magnified and the sweep speed has become faster than 0.2 ysec/DIV, the trace may become darker. In such a casé, the displayed waveform should be expanded in the B sweep mode explained in the subsequent paragraphs (C0S5021 only). 4.10 Waveform Magnification with Delayed Sweep (C0S5021 only). With sweep magnification of the preceding paragraph, although the magnification method is simple, the magnification ratio is limited at 10. With the delayed sweep method of this paragraph, on the other hand, the sweep can be expanded for a wide range from several times to several thousand times according to the ratio between A sweep time and B sweep time. BayeAs the measured signal frequency becomes high and the A sweep range for the non-expanded signal becomes higher, the available expansion ratio becomes smaller. Furthermore, as the magnifica~ tion ratio becomes larger, the trace intensity becomes lower and the delay jitter increases. To cope with these situations, a continuously-variable delay circuit and a triggered delay circuit are incorporated into the oscilloscope.

Next, set the B TIME/DIV switch at a position faster by several steps than the A TIME/DIV switch’. After ensuring that the B TRIG'D button of the HOR DISPLAY switch is at the pushed out position ([1), turn the HOR DISPLAY switch to the A INTEN position. A portion of the displayed waveform will be accentuated as shown in Figure 4-14, indicating the state ready for delayed sweep. The portion of the accentuated brightness indicates the section corresponding to the B sweep time (DELAYED SWEEP). This portion is expanded’on the B sweep. The period from the start of the A sweep to that of the B sweep (the period to the start of trace accentuation) is called "SEEP DELAY TIME." This period is continuously variable by means of the DELAY TIME POSITION knob. Next, change the HOR DISPLAY switch to the B position. The B sweep time will be expanded for the full span of the CRT screen as shown in Figure 4-15. The B sweep time is set by the B TIME/DIV switch and the magnifi- cation ratio becomes as follows: A TIME/DIV indication Magnification ratio = —} TEESE nee ~ 38 -(2) The sweep delay time can be read on the CRT screen. For more accurate determination, the DELAY TIME MULTI dial should be used.

To suppress the jitter, this triggered delay method may be used. With the triggered delay, delay jitter 1s reduced by triggering the B sweep again after a sweep delay time as effected by the continuous delay method has elapsed. caoi For this operation the A trigger circuit continues to operate even after the B TRIG'D button is pushed in (x2) and the B sweep is triggered by the triggering pulse. Therefore, even when the delay time is continuously varied by turning the TIME DELAY POSITION knob, the starting point of the sweep moves discretely, not con- tinuously. In the A INTEN mode, this operation is characterized by discrete shifts of the brightness-accentuated section of the sweep across the CRT screen; while in the B mode this section remains stationary. The start point moves discretely A INTEN | _— B crigger level Figure 4-15 Stage4.11 Calibration of Probe As explained previously, the probe makes up a wide-range attenuator. Unless phase compensation is properly done, the displayed waveform is distorted causing measurement errors. Therefore, the probe must fart ed be properly compensated before use.

Connect the probe tip to the calibration voltage output terminal and adjust the COMPENSATOR control with an insulated screwdriver so that an ideal waveform as illustrated below is obtained.
