7B92A Features
The 7B92A Dual Time Base unit provides normal, delayed, intensified, and al et nate sweep operation for Tektronix 7000-
Series Oscilloscopes . Calibrated sweep rates from 0 .2 second to 0 .5 nanosecond and triggering to 500 megahertz are pro-
vided . The 7B92A is intended for use with high frequency 7000 Series Oscilloscope systems ; however, most 7B92A
functions are compatible with all 7000-Series Oscilloscopes .
Other features include lighted pushbutton switches, compatibility with indicator oscilloscopes having an alphanumeric read-
out system, and 0 to 9 .8 times continuous sweep delay . A VARIABLE control allows continuously variable sweep rates be-
tween calibrated steps . Also, when operating in the AUTO BRAIN TRIGGERING MODE, a bright base line is displayed in
the absence of a trigger signal .

SPECIFICATION
This instrument will meet the electrical characteristics listed under Performance Requirement in Table 1-1, following com-
plete calibration . The following electrical characteristics apply over an ambient temperature range of OOC to +500C, except
as otherwise indicated. Warmup time for given accuracy is 20 minutes.
