Greetings.

A short while ago, I posted a request for links to simple triggered
sweeps for older recurrent timebase oscilloscopes. I spent a fair
amount of time looking in old magazines and circuit handbooks, but
didn't find what I thought I was looking for.

So I decided to cobble-up a homebrew of my own. This circuit probably
has been done before, but it met my criterion of being really simple.
I used already on-hand parts, so the design is far from optimum. It
works fine on an Eico 460 up to about 1MHz. No attempt was made to make
a calibrated sweep. You could use a 5v rail and an HC4538 to make a
nice high speed triggered sweep.

Have a look at:

Thank you to all of you who sent me emails and posted comments on these
boards.
