The Tektronix '''7S12''' is a Time Domain Reflectometer / Sampler plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].
It occupies two mainframe plug-in bays (one vertical, one horizontal). 


The Tektronix '''7S12''' is a Time Domain Reflectometer / Sampler plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].  It occupies two mainframe plug-in bays (one vertical, one horizontal). 
The 7S12 has two bays for [[:Category:7000 and 3S series sampling heads|S-series plug-in modules ("heads")]].
 
The right bay accepts a pulse generator or a trigger recognizer plug-in, whereas the left bay accepts a sampling plug-in.
The 7S12 has two bays for [[:Category:7000 and 3S series sampling heads|S-series plug-in modules ("heads")]]. The right bay accepts a pulse generator or a trigger recognizer plug-in, whereas the left bay accepts a sampling plug-in.


The typical configuration is to have an [[S-6]] on the left and an [[S-52]] on the right for time domain reflectometry, or a sampling head like the [[S-4]] on the left and an [[S-53]] on the right as a generic sampler.

The 7S12 can also control an optional [[7S11]] through its left side contacts, adding a second input channel.
