The TR502 is intended to work with the [[7L13]] and [[7L14]] spectrum analyzer plugins from the 7000 series.  It also works with a [[7L12]].

The [[TR501]] and TR502 are essentially the same instrument with the exception of the output attenuators and logic interface in the TR502, which adds dot marker support for the 7L13 via the TRACK GEN LOGIC connector. A 012-0648-00 cable with [[LEMO_S-series_connector|6-pin LEMO Connectors]] is required for this functionality.
The [[TR503]] is similar but has different oscillator and intermediate frequencies (see link).
