which are compared with the sweep ramp to generate sweep delay pulse.
DLYREF0 is the comparator voltage for the SWEEP A delay.
In earlier analog scopes (e.g., the [[565]]),
DLYREF1 is the comparator voltage for the SWEEP B delay.
the precision DC control voltage for the delay ramp comparator
See schematic below.
Historic note: In earlier analog scopes (e.g., the [[565]]),
the basic architecture of the sweep delay is the same,
but precision DC control voltage for the delay ramp comparator
was produced by a multi-turn potentiometer on the front panel.
