[GreenKeys] CRT Question

[Keith Densmore]

I think you have explained it Ralph, I had briefly experimented with the dc 
outputs driving the xy of the scope.  Will try the audio route, that should do 
it.

Thanks All,
Keith

Many of the TUs have a low voltage output for the mark and space tones.   

You will not see a single line, but an eliptical display (football shape) with 
the vertical width depending on how shape the mark/space filters are.  

The display may not be exectally horizontal and vertical when tuned in 
correctly depending on how well the filters are on frequency and a few other 
factors.

If you have an oscilloscope, you will not use the internal time base.  YOu use 
the horizontal input for the mark and then hook the vertical input for the 
space.

There is no reason the mark/space can not be reversed on the scope, but that is 
the way it is usually done.

YOu do not use the mark/space pulses, but the audio tones comming from the 
filters.

Time for another question......
My Dovetron  MPC  1000 has an LED crosshair tuning display, which works just 
fine but.....
I have a couple of spare 
o'scopes here and I really like the kind of display that shows mark/space and noise. Tuning is correct when the display shows vertical/horizontal tuning of mark/space

.
This type of display was used on some older TU's 
I have seen and that tuning method is also used on MMTY.

Question is how is that type of display wired into a terminal unit?  
It's no problem picking off mark/space pulses but how do you make them display as the 'ball 
of noise'?

Thanks,
Keith
