Used TEKTRONIX 576 #9191497 for sale

TEKTRONIX 576 curve tracer is an electronic test instrument designed to display and analyze the behavior of components such as transistors, diodes and other semiconductor devices. The instrument is capable of plotting the results of voltage and current measurements under various input conditions. It can also be used to measure the junction capacitance of transistors, diodes, and other semiconductor components. 576 includes an internal DC power supply with a variable output voltage, allowing it to generate both current and voltage waveforms. The user is able to adjust the parameters of the power supply to simulate a wide range of test conditions. The instrument also includes an oscilloscope for visualizing the waveforms created by the power supply. TEKTRONIX 576 also includes aphotomultiplier tube (PMT), which is used to measure signal voltages in terms of current. This allows the user to measure the resistances, capacitances, and mutual conductances of components under test. Additionally, the PMT measures the noise levels in the circuit under test. The peak-to-peak voltage range of the measurements is limited by the PMT and can range from 10mV to 10V. The instrument has both manual and automatic modes. In manual mode, the user can enter parameters such as frequency, number of cycles, and other parameters to create a waveform. The user is then able to scan through points in the waveform, set mark points, and trace the waveform. 576 can be used to perform a variety of measurements, including total harmonic distortion, signal-to-noise ratio, and transient response. The instrument also has a range of automatic functions, such as auto-ranging, AC and DC coupling, source control, and automatic gain control. Other functions include frequency response, pulse response, noise response, peak and average measurements, and bar graph display. TEKTRONIX 576 is an easy-to-use and versatile test instrument, making it ideal for both production testing and research and development. The instrument is well suited for the testing of transistors, integrated circuits, and other semiconductor devices. It is also suitable for the testing of automotive and medical electronics. Overall, 576 is an invaluable tool in the arsenal of any electronic engineers.
