Re: 524D RCA customized scope on the big sales platform
In almost every case, studio VTRs used Tektronix waveform and vector scopes. B&W picture monitors in VTRs tended to be Conrac, but most color picture monitors in Ampex VTRs were Tektronix 650 series.

Re: 524D RCA customized scope on the big sales platform
If I am not mistaken, the big RCA 2¡± quad video recorders used by most studios had both a Tektronix waveform monitor and vector scope built into them. [email protected]> wrote:

Re: 524D RCA customized scope on the big sales platform
Until Tek starting building their own CRT's in 1953, they were purchasing CRT's from RCA and Dumont, who were competitors. Tek wasn't getting the best quality tubes, so they made a point of putting

Re: 524D RCA customized scope on the big sales platform
It is the standard graticle used to read a NTSC video waveform: the zero is, well, zero - the transition between video and sync the sync pulses are displayed below the line - ideally down to 40 the

Re: 524D RCA customized scope on the big sales platform
Video signal is coded as black ~ 10% (dashed line is at 7.5%, probably black level spec) white is 100%, sync pulses are at -40% (bottom half graticule). The reason for 0 to 100% and -40 to 0% ranges,

Re: Tektronix P6021Current Probe Termination
The probe and its termination (passive, 134, or 7A14) are designed as a system. As you can see in the P6021 manual, the Passive Termination box is a complex RLC network with several calibration

Re: Tektronix P6021Current Probe Termination
Will it work better with no termination box if I use a 50 ohm oscope input? What termination is it looking for?

Re: Tektronix P6021Current Probe Termination
You can also use a 7A14 plugin, IIRC.? It switches between probe types based on a ring, which is in a small adaptor that you attach to the probe. Compensation for both probe types is different.

Re: Tektronix P6021Current Probe Termination
The P6019/P6020/P6021/P6022 current probes MUST use either the appropriate termination box, or a Type 134 Current Probe Amplifier. Otherwise the frequency response will be poor since the probe portion

Re: Need help diagnosing and repairing a Tektronix 491 Spectrum Analyzer
See if you have a LO feedthrough signal on band B near the left end of the scale. The A and B band use the same number pencil triode oscillator tube and you can swap the b tube in to get the a band

Hi, Yes, cal data is stored in the nvram. But I wouldn't worry much about it, as the 2432 is very simple to calibrate. By the time you solve the problem of saving and transferring the calibration data
