The '''Tektronix Type CA''' is the most common plug-in for [[500-series scopes]] – over 50,000 were produced. | |||
It was designed by [[John Kobbe]] and [[Bill Polits]]. | |||
The NORMAL/INVERT switch and algebraic add functions were suggested by [[Charlie Rhodes]]. | |||
Type CA is an enhancement over its predecessor, Type [[C|53/54C]], adding ADDED mode to the A, B, CHOPPED, ALT repertoire. | |||
The "A" in "CA" stands not only for the fact that it is a modified, enhanced replacement, but also because the feature added was "ADDED". | |||
Type CA was [[introduced in 1959]] and discontinued in 1973, making it not only the most-produced but also one of the longest-lived. | |||
Late versions have [[BNC connector]]s instead of [[UHF connector]]s. | |||
[[Lavoie Laboratories]] produced an unauthorized clone, the [[Lavoie LA-265-CA]]. | |||
{{MissingSpecs}} | |||
The risetime of a Type [[545]] oscilloscope with a Type CA plug-in is 15 nanoseconds, and the bandwidth is 24 MHz. | |||
Maximum vertical sensitivity is 50 mV/div. | |||
