FEATU R ES 

The Tektronix 7844/R7844  Dual-Beam Oscilloscope  i s  a 
solid-state, wide bandwidth, dual-beam osc i l l oscope.  The 

instrument accepts Tektronix 70aO-Series plug-in u n its to 

form a complete measurement system.  The flex i b i l i ty  of 

t h e  plug-in feature and  variety of plug-in units available 

a l l ow the system to be used for many measurement applica­

tions. 

The 7844/R7844 provides separate vertical and horizontal 

deflection systems,  FOCUS,  I NTE NSITY, and B EAM F I N D ­

E R  functions for each beam.  T h e  plug-in u n it i n  either 

vertical compartment can be sel ected to provide vertical de­

flection for either beam.  The plug-in units in  either horizon­
tal compartment may be selected to provide horizontal  de­

flection for either beam. 

The 7844/R7844 features regulated de power supplies to 

ensure that the performance is not affected by variations in 

l i n e  voltage and frequency, or by changes in load due to vary­

ing power requi rements of the plug-in units.  The 7844/R7844 

operates from a  1 1 5  volt or 230 volt  (50  H z  to 400 H z )  

nominal l ine source. 

Other features i nclude a  dual-gun full-overlap crt with  a 

graticule area of 8 x  1 0  centimeters.  The  instrument also 
provides a crt display of alphanumeric information encoded 

by the plug-in  u nits_  The R EADOUT display i n dicates plug­
i n  u n it status such as deflection factor, sweep rate, and other 
p l u g- i n  dependent parameters. 

The Option 21  instrument is  basically the same as the stan­
dard  7844/R7844 except that the vertical  deflection system 

is ded icated.  The amplifier unit in the  L E FT V E RT compart­

ment controls the vertica! deflection of beam  1  and  the am­
p l i fier unit in  the  R I GHT V E R T  compartment controls the 

vertical deflection of beam 2,  The V E RTICAL M O D E  switch 

and  V E RT SEP control  have been deleted,  Refer to the 

Options section for details. 

P R E L I M INARY OPE RATION 

To effectively operate this instrument, the user must be­

come familiar with the operation and capabilities of the  in­
strument.  This section describes how to use the front and 

rear-pane! controls and connectors.

Safety I n formation 

This instruction  manual  contains warning information  which 

the user must follow to  ensure safe operation of the instru­

ment.  Warning  information  is intended to protect the opera­

tor and Caution information  is  intended  to protect the 

instrument. 

This  instrument is  in tended to be operated from 

a single-phase  earth-referenced power source 

having  one current-carrying conductor (th e  Neu­

tral  Conductor)  near earth  potential.  Operation 

from  power sources wh ere both current-carry­
in g conductors are live with respect to earth 

(such  as  phase-to-phase on a  three-wire system) 

is not recommended� since only  the  Line Con­

ductor has over-current (fuse)  protection  with· 
in  the instrument. 

This instrument has a  three-wire  power cord 

with  a  three-terminal polarized plug for connec­

tion  to  the power source and safety-earth.  The 

safety-earth  terminal  of the plug is  directly con­

nected to the instrument frame.  For electric­
shock  protection, insert this  plug  only in a mat­

ing outlet with  a safety-earth contact or oth er­
wise connect the frame to a safety-earth system. 

The color-coding of the cord conductors;s in 

accordance with  recognized standards.

Operating Voltage 

The 7844/R7844 has a  VOLTAGE SELECTOR  switch  which 
allows selection of either a  1 1 5 volt or 230 volt nominal  l ine 
voltage source.  When changing the Voltage Selector switch 
position, disconnect the  power cord  and  use  a small screw­

driver to move the  Voltage Selector switch  to the desired 

range.
