Used TEKTRONIX 492A #122125 for sale

TEKTRONIX 492A is an electronic test equipment manufactured by TEKTRONIX, Inc. to meet the needs of engineers and technicians in the aerospace, telecom, and biomedical industries. This particular model is a curve tracer, used to test and monitor the performance of components, modules and circuits. 492A is equipped with a built-in autoranging power supply, which carries out the initial testing of the device under test (DUT). This is done using a combination of probing techniques and analog signals, which are sent through the tracer to measure the component's electrical characteristics. The resulting waveform is displayed on the front panel as a graph, allowing the user to visualize and analyze the component's performance. TEKTRONIX 492A also includes an x-y mode that allows users to measure differential signals and other waveforms. This feature is commonly used to test the characteristics of semiconductor devices like transistors and diodes. This mode provides a "logarithmic envelope" display on the front panel, which shows a graphical representation of the component's oscilloscope waveform. In addition, 492A features a digital display and analog/voltage input. The digital display enables the user to view the graph and have real-time readings of the waveform. The analog/voltage input allows the user to control the waveform and the sweep duration. TEKTRONIX 492A also has an internal clock that can take multiple readings for additional accuracy in testing and analysis. 492A curve tracer is housed in a robust and compact design, making it an ideal solution for lab use. It is compatible with a variety of industry standards such as GPIB and TTL Modules, as well as BNC and d-sub connectors. TEKTRONIX 492A also includes a built-in hard copy feature, allowing the user to print out test results. Overall, 492A is a reliable and versatile testing instrument with a number of capabilities. It offers users an easy-to-use interface and provides a wide range of capabilities, making it an excellent choice for troubleshooting, diagnostics, and development tasks.
