The Tektronix 80A01 Trigger Prescale Preamplifier Module is a one-channel
8-14 GHz AC coupled 50 W limiting preamplifier module that can be installed in
the CSA8000 Communications Signal Analyzer and TDS8000 Digital Sampling
Oscilloscope. It is designed to increase the sensitivity of the prescale trigger
input of the 8000 Series instruments to v200 mV
NOTE. Proper operation of the 80A01 module requires that the operating system
software installed on the main instrument is version 1.1.0 or greater. To display
