The Tektronix Type 184 is a compact crystal-controlled time mark generator, introduced in 1965 and discontinued after 1971. It was then replaced by the 2901.
The task of designing the 184 was inherited and completed by Murlan Kaufman. It is solid-state except for six 7587 Nuvistor vacuum tubes. The generator produces push-button selectable time marker intervals from 2 nanoseconds to 5 seconds.
There are also seven push-button selectable trigger pulse rates from 1 microsecond to 1 second.
The 184 contains a 10 MHz crystal in a 75°C oven. The frequency is specified to be within 0.001% of 10 MHz at ambient temperatures between 20°C and 30°C. In the same temperature range, the frequency is specified to vary less than 3 ppm (30 Hz).
