The '''Tektronix 7A12''' is a 120 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].


The '''Tektronix 7A12''' is a 120 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]]
Switches on the front panel control [[miniature relays]] in the signal path, such as those selecting input attenuators, through logic circuits.
The 7A12 has relays in the signal path for the input attenuators.
It uses the [[155-0032-00]] as a gain stage and the [[155-0022-00]] for channel switching.
The relays are controlled by logic in the 7A12, which is controlled by switches on the front panel of the 7A12.


The 7A12 uses the [[155-0032-00]] as a gain stage and the [[155-0022-00]] for channel switching.
The 7A12 was designed by [[Roy Hayes]] (who also designed the [[3A3]] and [[3A8]] before leaving for HP Loveland in Jan 1971).
The Evaluation Engineer for the 7A12 was [[Peter Starič]], co-author of the book "Wideband Amplifiers" with Erik Margan.
