| The calibrator operates on
exactly 100 kHz providing a reference for calibrating the variable time base oscillator of
general purpose scopes. For example, if the scope is set so that one cycle of the signal
fills exactly 10 graticule divisions then each division represents 1 MHz, or 1
microsecond. If the scope is adjusted for 10 cycles on 10 graticule divisions. (1 cycle
per division) then each division represents 100 kHz or 10 microseconds. |
