The '''Tektronix 7B50''' is a timebase plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]], particularly the 7500 series, [[introduced in 1969]]. | |||
It is specified for triggering up to 100 MHz. Triggering uses [[tunnel diodes]]. | |||
The sweep is fully discrete, no ICs. It was replaced by the [[7B50A]] in 1976. | |||
The task of designing the 7B50 was inherited and completed by [[Murlan Kaufman]]. | |||

==X-Y operation== | |||
The 7B50 has a dedicated switch to put it in "amplifier mode" for X-Y operation. | |||
In this mode, the Trigger Source switch controls the signal source – internal from a vertical plug-in via the trigger path, or external — and the Trigger Coupling switch controls AC vs. DC coupling. | |||
In amplifier mode, gain can be varied using an uncalibrated potentiometer. | |||
