Manuals
(All manuals in PDF format unless noted otherwise)

It is particularly designed to be used in 567 and 568 scopes, where it is programmable and provides signals that inform the digital unit of the scale factor and units, depending on what sampling head is inserted.

Deflection factor, DC offset and polarity, as well as normal/smooth mode can be programmed externally through a DC-37 connector (0-2/6-15 V logic levels) from a controller such as the 241 Programmer. The 067-0584-99 Remote Programmer calibration fixture is available to do this manually during setup/calibration.
