Dual Beam CRO:

Figure 7.18 illustrates a block diagram of a Dual Beam CRO.

The dual trace oscilloscope has one cathode ray gun, and an electronic switch which switches
two signals to a single vertical amplifier. The dual beam CRO uses two completely separate
electron beams, two sets of VDPs and a single set of HDPs. Only one beam can be
synchronised at one time, since the sweep is the same for both signals, i.e. a common time
base is used for both beams.

Therefore, the signals must have the same frequency or must be related harmonically, in order
to obtain both beams locked on the CRT screen, e.g. the input signal of an amplifier can be
used as signal A and its output signal as signal B.
