It replaced the previous [[DC508]] version (1978), extending the frequency range to 1.3 GHz. | |||

{{Spec | Frequency Range | 0–100 MHz direct (15 mV<sub>RMS</sub>, 1 MΩ // 25 pF), gate times 1 ms to 10 s in decade steps; 100 MHz – 1.3 GHz via prescaler (20 mV<sub>RMS</sub>, 50 Ω input, fused), gate times 8 ms to 8 s in decade steps }} | |||

[[ | ===Options=== | ||
* Option 1 − High accuracy time base | |||
* Option 7 − Accepts rear panel control signals from a [[TR502]] or [[SW503]] to measure a marker frequency. Resolution and gating remote control circuitry is added to the DC508(A). Requires a [[TM503|TM503 - option 7]] or an appropriately modified mainframe. This option inherently also adds option 1. | |||

The DC508A uses an off-the-shelf divide-by-4 counter ICs as the prescaler, a [[Plessey SP8611B]] (Tek part number 156-1302-01), which is rated to 1.5 GHz. | |||
