installed

in

a

Tektronix

7104

mainframe.

The

fast

of

the

7104

microchannel

plate

crt

permits clear

viewing

of

low-duty-cycle

under

normal lighting

conditions

even

at

the

fastest

sweep

speeds.

The

7D11

Digital

Delay

plug-in

unit

enhances

the

trigger

capabilities

of

the

7A42.

In

the 7D11

delay-by-time

mode,

the

oscilloscope

trigger

can

be

inhibited

during

or

after

a

time

interval

initiated

by

the

7A42.

In

the

allows

a

only

after

the

n

th

occurrence of a
