3.If A14J17 pin 1 does not appear to be correct, verify that the sweep ramp is reaching the Main/FM/VCO Sweep Switch as follows:

Change the oscilloscope’s amplitude scale to 1.25 V/d’iv and monitor the A14J15 pin 14. The waveform should be a 0 V to -10 V sweep of 50 ms duration. See Figure 10-7. Check for a 0 V to -10 V ramp at A14J15 pin 13. Refer to function block H of Al4 Frequency Control Schematic (sheet 2 of 5).

Check that state of the Main/FM/VCO S weep Switches as indicated in Table 10-9.

Note

Switches

U324A and U318C can change the polarity of A14U404B. This

 

allows the Roller Oscillator to sweep backwards when the YTO is locked to

 

a lower sideband of a Sampling Oscillator’s comb tooth. The YTO always

 

sweeps forward (lower frequency to higher frequency), but the Roller Oscillator

 

sometimes sweeps backwards (higher frequency to lower frequency). The FREQ

 

DIAGNOSE menu will indicate a negative Main Roller frequency in this instance.
