Abstract
The horizontal output stage of a television receiver is tested by denergizing the receiver so as to remove B+ voltage from the horizontal output stage, and then powering the horizontal output stage from an independent low voltage DC power supply through a switch which is turned on and off at the horizontal sweep frequency to permit making measurements of operating parameters of said horizontal output stage.
Claims7
A method of testing the horizontal output stage of a television receiver, comprising the steps of
- disconnecting said television receiver from the principle power source to denergize the B+ power supply of said television receiver,
- connecting a source of low DC voltage to said horizontal output stage,
- connecting a switching device in series with said source of low DC voltage and said primary winding to open and close the series circuit including said low voltage DC voltage source and said primary winding at the horizontal sweep frequency of said horizontal output stage, and
- measuring and displaying the DC current through said primary winding of said flyback transformer.
A method of testing the horizontal output stage of a television receiver, comprising the steps of
- disconnecting said television receiver from the principle power source to denergize the B+ power supply of said television receiver,
- connecting a source of low DC voltage to said horizontal output stage,
- connecting a switching device in series with said source of low DC voltage and said primary winding to open and close the series circuit including said low voltage DC voltage source and said primary winding at the horizontal sweep frequency of said horizontal output stage, and
- measuring and displaying the pulse width of voltage pulses developed across said primary winding.
