The Tektronix 3A10 is a differential amplifier plug-in for 560-series scopes.

It is intended for use with transducers and for that purpose it has a DC-coupled differential input and a variable voltage supply for powering the transducer. It also has a 6-pin input connector (Bendix MS3102A-10-6S) to directly connect to the 015-0169-00 Strain Gage Adapter.

The 3A10 circuit is partially based on the 1A7A's.

Key Specifications

Deflection 10 μV/Div to 10 V/Div in 1–2–5 sequence
Input impedance 1 MΩ // 47 pF (Volts mode) or 10 MΩ (transducer mode)
Bandwidth When DC coupled: DC to 1 MHz

When AC coupled: 1.6 Hz to 10 MHz in 1 MΩ Mode, 0.16 Hz to 10 MHz in 10 MΩ Mode

Under either AC or DC coupling:

  • LF limit: switchable: DC, 0.1 Hz to 10 kHz in six steps, plus DC offset
  • HF limit: switchable: 100 Hz to 1 MHz in nine 1-3-10 steps
Signal ranges
