Introduction - Tektronix 7a15a Instruction Manual

Introduction
The 7A15A/7A15AN Amplifier plug-in unit is a wide
band amplifier designed for use with Tektronix 7000-Series
oscilloscopes . The 7A15A and 7A15AN are electrically
identical except that encoding capabilities and an
"IDENTIFY" function are provided in the 7A15A. The

7A15A/7A15AN
7A15A/7A15AN can be operated in any plug-in compart-
ment of 7000-Series oscilloscopes .
The following electrical characteristics are valid over the
stated environmental range for instruments calibrated at an
ambient temperature of +20°C to +30° C, and after a five
minute warmup unless otherwise noted.
Characteristic Performance Requirement
Supplemental Information
Deflection Factor
Calibrated Range 5 mV/D iv to 10 V/Div, 11 steps in a 1-2-5
sequence
Deflection Factor Accuracy Within 2% of indicated deflection factor
with GAIN adjusted at 10 mV/Div
Uncalibrated (VARIABLE) Continuously variable between calibrated
steps; extends deflection factor to at least
25 V/Div
X10 GAIN
Increases amplifier gain by a factor of 10
within 10%, decreasing deflection factor
to 500 /1V/Div
