Template:Instrument Sidebar

This is the "Instrument" template.

If you have come here looking to edit the page for a particular instrument, you took a wrong turn – please do not edit this template.

Instead, please go back to the instrument's page and edit that.

This template is for generic instruments. We have specialized templates Template:Oscilloscope Sidebar and Template:Probe Sidebar based on this one for the respective product groups. Where applicable, please use these specialized templates instead.

This template should be invoked in the following format:	Example:
{{Instrument Sidebar |manufacturer= |model= |class= |series= |summary= |image= |caption= |introduced= |discontinued= |designers= |manuals= }}	{{Instrument Sidebar |manufacturer=Tektronix |model=XYZ |class=Oscilloscope |summary=700 MHZ Oscilloscope |image=Picture of XYZ scope.jpg |caption=Description of the above picture |series=96000-series scopes |introduced=1996 |designers=John Doe;Alice Bob |discontinued=(?) }}

manufacturer= should be a page name, designers= a semicolon-delimited list of page names. For class= please align with existing values in the Products table where applicable.

This template adds [[Category:Introduced in (year)]] to the article. If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?).

This template adds rows to the table "Products", which is declared by the template Product. View table.
