Used TEKTRONIX 305 #9099308 for sale

TEKTRONIX 305 is an electronic test equipment that was first released in 1961. It is a powerful analog-digital hybrid instrument that was used to analyze, measure, and troubleshoot analog circuits. It offers features such as a built-in signal generator, frequency counter, and dual-trace oscilloscope. Its versatility allows it to be used for numerous types of electrical testing and troubleshooting. 305 consists of two main modules; the instrument panel and the oscilloscope panel. The instrument panel contains the controls for the generator, counter and main power, where users can select frequency and sweep rate. It also has a two-range amplifier that is adjustable from 0.2 to 30V with overrange protection. The oscilloscope panel features the dual trace oscilloscope, AC/DC coupled, memory channels, on-screen readouts of voltage, frequency, time, and waveforms. This panel also features some simple analysis tools, such as sweep magnification, vertical position control, and dual trace. To start TEKTRONIX 305, one needs to first plug in and turn on the power and then adjust the generator's frequency, voltage, and sweep rate for the test. After that, the oscilloscope is connected to the desired readings and adjusted accordingly. The oscilloscope can be used to measure sine waves, square waves, ramps, pulses, random noise, and sync signals over a wide range of frequencies. Additionally, the instrument can use the dual trace mode to display two waves on the same screen. 305 is a reliable and powerful piece of test equipment that has served countless engineers, technicians, and students for over 50 years. It is an essential tool for anyone looking to troubleshoot analog circuits and measure their parameters accurately. Although it has been discontinued, there are still plenty of TEKTRONIX 305 units in circulation and they are well worth the investment.
