7904 FEATURES
The TEKTRONIX 7904 Oscilloscope is a solid-state, high performance instrument designed for general purpose
applications. The 7904 features a crt with small spot size and high writing rate. Graticuleareais8X 10cm. Additionally, the
instrument includes a readout system providing crt display of alphanumeric information from the plug-ins, including
deflection factor, sweep rate, and other encoded parameters.
The instrument's high vertical bandwidth (500 MHz), and four plug-in compartments which accept 7-series plug-in
units, form a highly flexible measurement system.
