The input impedance of the visicorder, channel 6, was subsequently checked and found to be very high due to the isolation amplifier, but it may have added some noise to the CEA's timer enable signal. Since using the visi-corder in this manner (i.e., to check the continued presence of the enable signal) was not procedural but troubleshooting, it has been decided to use an oscilloscope for this purpose and use the visicorder solely for current tracing.
