Tektronix 7854
Waveform Processing Oscilloscope Mainframe 4 Slot 400MHz
Description
The Tektronix 7854 is a Waveform Processing Oscilloscope Mainframes that has 4 Slots and a 400 MHz bandwidth.
The 7854 oscilloscope is a graph-displaying device. It will draw a graph of an electrical signal. The graph shows how signals change over time: the vertical (Y) axis represents voltage and the horizontal (X) axis represents time. The intensity or brightness of the display is most of the time called the Z axis.
The 7854 oscilloscope's simple graph can tell you many things about a signal. The time and voltage values of a signal, the frequency of an oscillating signal, the “moving parts” of a circuit represented by the signal, the frequency in which a particular portion of the signal is occurring relative to, other portions, if a malfunctioning component is distorting the signal, how much of a signal is direct current or an alternating current (AC) and how much of the signal is noise and if the noise is changing with time.
Key Points
The 7854 Oscilloscope will require Plug-Ins.
