Abstract

A method and apparatus for testing the horizontal drive stage of a cathode ray tube display where the horizontal drive stage has a drive output which is directed to the base of a horizontal output transistor. In the method and apparatus, the output from the horizontal drive circuit is disconnected from the base of the horizontal output transistor and is connected to the apparatus of the present invention. The apparatus includes a load which simulates the load normally provided by the base of the horizontal output transistor. A meter differential amplifier is connected across the load and readings therefrom are projected on a display. The horizontal drive stage is then energized and readings from the display are compared to known operating requirements of the base of the horizontal output transistor.
