Instrument Serial Numbers
Each instrument manufactured by Tektronix has a serial number on a panel insert or tag, or stamped on the
chassis. The first letter in the serial number designates the country of manufacture. The last five digits of the
serial number are assigned sequentially and are unique to each instrument. Those manufactured in the
United States have six unique digits. The country of manufacture is identified as follows:
B010000 Tektronix, Inc., Beaverton, Oregon, USA
E200000 Tektronix United Kingdom, Ltd., London
J300000 Sony/Tektronix, Japan
H700000 Tektronix Holland, NV, Heerenveen, The Netherlands

Instruments manufactured for Tektronix by external vendors outside the United States are assigned a two digit
alpha code to identify the country of manufacture (e.g., JP for Japan, HK for Hong Kong, IL for Israel, etc.).
