Used TEKTRONIX 1503C #9185614 for sale

TEKTRONIX 1503C is a high performance, multi-function test and measurement instrument used in the engineering and electronic test and measurement profession. It was introduced in 1981 and is heavily used to test, diagnose, and measure a wide range of electronic components and systems. 1503C is a full featured instrument that includes a CRT (cathode ray tube) display. The display's refresh rate is 25 MHz and it has a resolution of 1024 x 1024. The CRT displays voltage graphs, waveforms, and other information with a high degree of accuracy. TEKTRONIX 1503C also incorporates a built-in memory that can store up to 40,000 readings. 1503C has a built-in A/D (analog to digital) conversion unit that can sample signals (such as voltage, current or frequency) up to 24 bits of resolution. It can also measure a wide range of parameters from a few microvolts to 800 volts of AC or DC voltage. The instrument also includes an isolated, differential probe that is designed for measuring high voltage signals. It has a bandwidth of DC to 12MHz and a gain of 1 or 20. This is an important feature as it effectively prevents disturbance from other equipment connected to the same power line or earth ground. Additionally, TEKTRONIX 1503C has a built-in time-variable signal generator, whose frequency can be set manually or through the use of the internal digital clock. It has a setup feature that allows the user to easily adjust the signal measurement parameters, such as amplitude, rise/fall time, frequency, and phase. The automatic measurement and logging feature makes it easy and fast to run tests and analyze signals. The instrument is provided with a microprocessor-controlled automatic testing system, which can perform a variety of tests and operations automatically. A built-in data storage facility can store all the test data and the instrument provides an RS-232C interface for data transfer from the instrument to a computer. 1503C is a reliable, multi-function test and measurement instrument that is ideal for a wide range of applications. It is highly accurate, efficient and provides a great deal of functionality in a single instrument, making it perfect for both professional and hobbyist applications.
