DP501/DC503A/TR503 combo ok?

[email protected] #537 Hello all, I have a DP501 prescaler, plus a TR503 tracking generator for use with a 496 spectrum analyzer. I understand that a DC503A is one counter that will hook up to a DP501, and with logic signals routed through the TM500 rear interface, allow the counter to read the correct 16x prescaled input frequency. I also understand that the DP501 will hook up to a TR502 (the TG meant for the 7Lxx series) also using the rear interface (so that no front panel cabling is needed). I further find that the DC508A opt 007 (I think that was the option number--maybe I'm thinking of His Majesty's Secret Service) counter was the one typically used with the TR503 tracking generator. Unfortunately, I been able to get a DC508A yet. I have a shot at getting a DC503A. Which brings me to my question: I am unclear from reading my manuals whether the DP501/DC503A/TR503 will all sing together properly, and by using only the rear edge card interface of my TM506A to link them together. Any clarification here greatly appreciated. Don Beaverton, OR
Stan or Patricia Griffiths #557 Hi Don, I suggest you call Lynn Hurd at 503-627-4643 at work at Tektronix and put that question to him. He is the "spectrum analyzer expert" in the customer service area at Tek and it is his job to answer that sort of stuff. I know him personally and I can't think of a more qualified person to ask.
