1780R-Series Operator’s Manual
Documentation Conventions
Within this manual, front-panel push-button names are shown all in
capitals, such as the PRESET menu button. Touch screen words are
represented in brackets, such as <DEFAULT>. CRT instructional
labels, such as SELECT MEASUREMENT, are represented in italics
in the manual and on the instrument CRT.
In menu operation, most selections are made by actually touching
the desired area on the CRT screen. This is indicated in the manual
instructions by the use of the word ‘touch’ (as opposed to ‘push’ for
front-panel push buttons).
Who Should Use This Operator’s Manual:
This operator’s manual contains information necessary for daily use,
and is appropriate for use by anyone who operates the 1780R-Series
Video Measurement Set. (The service manual is intended for use by
qualified service personnel only.)
1780R-Series Product Overview
The 1780R-Series Video Measurement Set is a wide bandwidth,
multi-input, waveform/vector/SCH measurement package.
The advantages of separate waveform and vector instruments are
provided in a single package. Specific measurements take advantage
of the 1780R-Series’ shared waveform monitor and vectorscope
internal processing.
Separate waveform and vectorscope CRTs allow simultaneous
monitoring of several video parameters.
Four video inputs may be individually displayed or selected in
various combinations on the waveform monitor. Vector presentations
may be individually displayed, overlaid for comparison, or compared
to an external reference. A fifth video signal may be selected for
individual display via the high-impedance front-panel probe input.
Internal video filters provide specialized measurements, with dual or
triple filter modes available for simultaneous display.
