    SECTION 1 DESCRIPTION The Tektronix Type 513D is a portable, self-contained, precision instrument specifically designed for displaying a plot of the variations with respect to time of a voltage pulse or wave, with self-contained means of measuring its duration and magnitude. It is primarily intended for study of short duration pulses.
