The '''Tektronix 502''' is a dual-beam oscilloscope [[introduced in 1958]], followed by the 502A in 1963. There is also a rack-mount model, the RM502A.


The 502 is a dual-beam oscilloscope [[introduced in 1958]],  
Both beams have differential inputs.  The horizontal deflection plates are common to both beams. 
followed by the 502A in the early 1960's.
 
Both beams have differential inputs. 
Mod 104 on a 502 provides single sweep lockout. This feature is standard on the 502A, which also has beam finder switches for each channel.
When set for maximum sensitivity, the 502A is 100 microvolts/cm
 
and has a vertical bandwidth of 50 kHz.
A recessed switch in the left side panel allows the upper beam amplifier to be connected to the horizontal deflection plates for single-beam X-Y operation, providing a differential X input with the same sensitivity as the Y channel.  The upper beam is positioned off screen in this mode.
At lower sensitivity settings the bandwidth increases. 
 
At 200 mV/cm the bandwidth is 1MHz. 
If the combination of time base setting and magnification selector results in a sweep faster than 1 μs/div, the horizontal scale is not calibrated, and a lamp on the front panel lights up to remind the operator of that.
At 100 mV/cm and 1 kHz, the common-mode rejection ratio of the 502A is 40,000:1.

There is a transistor-regulated 6.2V DC heater supply for the tubes in the
==Internals==
first stage differential amplifier. 
This heater supply uses the -150 V supply as its reference. 
The -150 V supply uses a [[5651]] voltage reference tube as its reference.
There is no post-deflection acceleration.
The CRT cathode voltage is -2900V.


There is a 502, a 502A, and a rack-mount model, the RM502A.
The −150 V supply uses a [[5651]] voltage reference tube as its reference.
The price of the 502 in July 1959 was $825.


Mod 104 on a 502 provides single sweep lockout.
The 6.2 V<sub>DC</sub> heater supply for the tubes in the first stage differential amplifier is transistor-regulated. 
This heater supply uses the −150 V supply as its reference. 


Later 502A have solid state input stage. [[6DJ8]] as cathode follower and transistor as amplifier and deflection-amplifier.
There is no post-deflection acceleration. The CRT cathode voltage is −2.9 kV.

* [http://bama.edebris.com/download/tek/502a/tek%20502a.v6.pdf Tektronix 502A Manual (PDF)]
Later models (1959+, see [[Media:070-090.pdf|070-090]]) and the 502A have separate supplies for the two CRT cathodes (HV transformer [[120-150]]).
This improvement allows slight differences in horizontal CRT sensitivity between
the two beams to be cancelled out in step 8 of the calibration procedure.


Later 502A models have a solid state (plus [[nuvistor]]) input stage,
a [[6DJ8]] as the deflection amplifier, and transistors as amplifiers and emitter followers (only in the newest version).
The 502 has a 123 °F (50.5 °C) [[thermal cutoff]] switch.

The Tektronix 502 is a dual-beam oscilloscope introduced in 1958, followed by the 502A in 1963. There is also a rack-mount model, the RM502A.

Both beams have differential inputs. The horizontal deflection plates are common to both beams.

Mod 104 on a 502 provides single sweep lockout. This feature is standard on the 502A, which also has beam finder switches for each channel.

A recessed switch in the left side panel allows the upper beam amplifier to be connected to the horizontal deflection plates for single-beam X-Y operation, providing a differential X input with the same sensitivity as the Y channel. The upper beam is positioned off screen in this mode.

If the combination of time base setting and magnification selector results in a sweep faster than 1 μs/div, the horizontal scale is not calibrated, and a lamp on the front panel lights up to remind the operator of that.

Internals

The −150 V supply uses a 5651 voltage reference tube as its reference.

The 6.2 VDC heater supply for the tubes in the first stage differential amplifier is transistor-regulated. This heater supply uses the −150 V supply as its reference.

There is no post-deflection acceleration. The CRT cathode voltage is −2.9 kV.

The early 502 uses a single supply for the upper beam and lower beam CRT cathodes (HV transformer 120-114). Later models (1959+, see 070-090) and the 502A have separate supplies for the two CRT cathodes (HV transformer 120-150). This improvement allows slight differences in horizontal CRT sensitivity between the two beams to be cancelled out in step 8 of the calibration procedure.

Later 502A models have a solid state (plus nuvistor) input stage, a 6DJ8 as the deflection amplifier, and transistors as amplifiers and emitter followers (only in the newest version).

The 502 has a 123 °F (50.5 °C) thermal cutoff switch.
