In the 11301/11302 scopes, optical sensors on the CRT bezel sense when the beam crosses the graticule lines to factor this information into the auto cal control signals. As a result, accuracy of the 11300-Series is controlled from the plug-in input connector to the CRT graticule without operator intervention.
