Electrical Tests of Model X-OBS Cathode Ray Oscilloscope

Abstract

The Model X-OBS Oscilloscope was subjected to electrical tests to determine its compliance with Navy Specifications RE-9624-B and to check its applicability in calibration of time-sweep circuits of the Model AN/SPA-1 and RDJ Pulse Analyzers. The equipment failed to meet many of the specifications. The design of some of the circuits is unsatisfactory, since the vacuum tube electrode voltages exceed the absolute maximum values as stated in the JAN Tube Specifications. The performance of the equipment is not considered satisfactory. A complete redesign of the circuits is recommended.
