1. GENERAL INFORMATION 

 

1-1. INTRODUCTION 

 

The LBO-516, shown in Figure 1-1, is a 100 MHz oscilloscope 

with all of the features normally found on a lab-grade scope: high-

fidelity  pulse  response,  stable  operation,  dual  timebase  with 

calibrated  sweep  delay,  flexible  triggering  facilities,  and  a  bright 

CRT display with illuminated internal graticule. Moreover, it also has 

a very unusual feature found on few scopes in any price class: it can 

simultaneously  display  up  to  eight traces  from  three  different input 

signals! In addition to the two vertical-input channels and their differ-

ence  signal, the  signal  used  to  externally  trigger the  main timebase 

can  also  appear  on  the  CRT  display.  The  alternate  sweep  mode, 

which  allows  the  main  and  delayed  timebases  to  simultaneously 

sweep  the  CRT,  effectively  doubles  this  four-trace  display  to  an 

eight-trace display. 

The comprehensive triggering facilities of the LBO-516 include 

several  features  that  ease  the  problem  of  triggering  on  complex 

signals:  a  variety  of  frequency-selective  coupling  filters,  a  trigger 

holdoff-control, and a trigger pickoff that alternates between the two 

vertical channels.
