Tektronix 1740A/1750A Dual-StandardVertical Scale

Basic Measurements

Dual-Standard Vertical Scale

The dual-standard graticule combines the NTSC and PAL scales. The NTSC scale is on the left side; the PAL scale is on the right. The divisions represent 10 IRE in amplitude (70 mV for PAL). The instrument gain is automatically adjusted for the particular standard used. On-screen arrows point to the graticule scale (left side or right side) that is calibrated for the present operating mode.
