Checking hv

[jr_tech]

lAccording to the data sheet for the D5-100, the deflection sensitivity is about 100volts per centimeter when operating at 2000 volts. I believe that the hv in the Pilot is closer to 2500 volts, which would reduce the deflection sensitivity to around 125volts per centimeter.

The vertical height of the D5 is about 3 centimeters, so it would require about 375 volts to scan from top to bottom of the screen.

The voltage that you have available from your B+ and B- supplies, which power the vertical circuit is less than 300 volts total, so you can’t achieve a full vertical scan.
