The Tektronix 067-0508-00 Amplitude Calibrator generates a square-wave with two precisely controlled voltages and 50 Ω impedance at both voltages.

The calibrator uses a 50 Ω shunt resistance at the output, and a precision DC current source that can be steered toward the output, or toward a dummy current sink transistor. The built-in multivibrator controls the steering of the current.

The output is through a GR-874 connector. The 067-0515-00 precision 50 Ω terminator is intended to be used with the 067-0508-00.
