GENERAL
DESCRIPTION
The
Tektronix
Type
511-A
Cathode Ray
Oscillo
scope
is
a
wide range, portable
instrument,
making
possible
the
observation
of
a
wide
variety
of
electrical
waveshapes.
It is primarily
intended
for laboratory
and
shop
use,
in
the
development
and
testing
of
all
types
of
electronic
equipment.
The
Type 51
1-AD
Oscilloscope is identical
to
the
Type
511-A
except
that
it includes
a
factory
installed
Type
l-AD-25

and GND.
is
suitable
for triggering
single
sweeps.
Sweep
Lag
CRT
is
unblanked
and
sweep
is
operating
linearly
in
less
than
.1
microsecond
after
receipt
of an
infinitely
sharp
trigger pulse.
Sweep
Magnification
Any
desired
20%
of
the
sweep
can
be
spread
over
the
entire
trace
except
for
sweep
speeds
faster than
.5
microsecond
per
cm.
External
