The Tektronix 7B71 Delaying Time Base is a 200 MHz time base plug-in for 7000-series scopes. It was designed by Murlan Kaufman.

The 7B71 contains a delay function to control a "B" horizontal plug-in in four-slot mainframes, typically a model 7B70. It has no provision for X-Y mode.

The 7B70/7B71 were primarily intended for the 7704 mainframe. They were superseded by the 7B85/7B80 pair (400 MHz) in 1976, which increased the frequency range to 400 MHz and added digital read-out of the delay time.

Key Specifications

Sweep	5 s/Div to 20 ns/Div in 1−2−5 sequence, ×10 magnifier down to 2 ns/Div, variable down to 12.5 s/Div
Excluded portions of sweep	None in 7700-series, first 50 ns with magnifier
Trigger sensitivity	0.3 Div (int) or 75 mV (ext) up to 20 MHz, 1.5 Div or 375 mV from 20 MHz to 200 MHz
Trigger coupling	DC, AC (>30 Hz), AC HF REJ (30 Hz to 50 kHz), AC LF REJ (>30 kHz)
Trigger input	1 MΩ // 20 pF, max. 500 V DC+peak AC
Jitter	less than 1 ns at 150 MHz
Trigger Modes	Peak-Peak Auto, Auto, Norm, Single Sweep
Variable time delay accuracy	1% (0.5 s/Div to 1 μs/Div)
Variable time delay multiplier Linearity	within 0.2%

7B71 MOD515C Plugin

The 7B71 Mod 515C adds the ability to remotely operate the triggering level, the position & delay time, the magnifier setting and the trigger-modes. The modified 7B71 timebase can be configured as a delaying or as a delayed timebase. See WP1000AF for further details
