The '''Tektronix Type 82''' is a dual-trace plug-in for the [[580-series scopes]]. 
The Type 82 combined with a [[585]] or 585A provides a 4 nanosecond risetime (85 MHz bandwidth).

==Internals==
The front end of the Type 82 has three versions, depending on serial number range.
In all versions, the signal path starts with a [[7586]] [[nuvistor]] cathode-follower, followed by bipolar diff-amps
and diode channel switching, followed by a [[distributed amplifier|distributed output amplifier]] made
of three [[6DJ8]] tubes, with differential 93 Ω outputs.
The use of a distributed amplifier in a plug-in is unusual. 
Note that the 58x series differs from [[500-series scopes]] mainly in that the vertical
signal [[580 Series plug-in interface|interface between the plug-in and the mainframe]]
is a low controlled impedance (93 ohms), as opposed to other 500-series scopes
that present a high impedance to the plug-in.

<blockquote>
If you feed [a fast risetime] signal into an early type 82, you will
find that the top three least sensitive positions have really terrible frequency
response ... so bad, in fact, that some customers thought they were broken.
When told this was normal, these customers wondered why Tek ever included them
on the plugin. The answer was that they were still useful for low frequency
signals ... but Tek never really made it well known that these 82 attenuator
positions were lousy. I think this was fixed on the later 82's as Tek learned
how to make better attenuators. If you have an early 82 and need to look at
high frequency signals on the less sensitive ranges, the answer is to get ×100
probes and use them on the more sensitive ranges where the frequency response is
better.

The [[P6008]] voltage probe was designed for use with the Type 82.
The [[585]] manual warns that for proper performance with the 82 and higher-numbered plug-ins, 585 non-A scopes with serial numbers before 2585 should have the back termination of the final distributed amplifier output modified to the later circuit (modification 040-275).
