GENERAL INFORMATION
INTRODUCTION
The TEKTRONIX
221
SA
Oscilloscope is a rugged, light-
weight, dual-channel 60-MHz instrument that features a
bright, sharply defined trace on an 80- by 100-mm cathode-
ray tube (crt). Its vertical system supplies calibrated deflec-
tion factors from 2 mV per division
to
5 V per divi-
sion.Trigger circuits enable stable triggering over the full
bandwidth
of
the vertical system. The horizontal system
provides calibrated sweep speeds from 0.5 s per division
to
50 ns per division, along with delayed-sweep features.
A X10 magnifier circuit extends the maximum sweep speed
to
5 ns per division when the A and B SEC/DIV switch is set
to
0.05 µs per division.
The instrument is shipped with the following standard
accessories:
1 Operators manual
1 Power cord
2 Probe packages
For part numbers and information about instrument ac-
