The Tektronix 1220 is a logic analyzer that supports 16 to 32 channels, 100 MHz asynchronous, 25 MHz synchronous. It was introduced in 1989. It is equivalent to the Tektronix 1225, the difference being that it has two channels instead of three. It is also very similar to the to the Tektronix 1230. It was one of Tektronix effort to make an "Ease of use" logic analyzer aimed at students and engineers. The user interface clearly represents that mindset. The menus are simple and there are help guides everywhere guiding the user in what he might want to do.
It did not have the same expansion capability that the 1230 had. The only expansion available was the option boards. There was four available: parallel printer port, RS232, GPIB interface and on-line notes in foreign languages. Tektronix also had a software package (S43R101) that would run on IBM PC compatible machines.
Key Specifications

The problem is that there is a bug that prevents it from keeping the date after the year 2000. Upon powering it on and off again it will reverts to 19XX. Example: 2018 -> 1918
Easter egg
Their is an "Easter egg" you can activate. When initially powered up the welcome screen shows, press the STOP button and a bar will show up with the programmers names near the bottom of the screen.
