Internals

The 7D20 uses an analog shift register (CCD) for high-speed signal acquisition, and then digitizes the stored analog signal at a lower speed. This design allowed the 7D20 to capture single-shot events at 40 MSamples/s even though this exceeded the speed of ADCs of the time. The 7D20 can digitally store waveforms and has a GPIB interface. A microprocessor (68B09) in the plug-in controls most of its functions.

The analog waveforms that are sent to the 7000-series mainframe are generated by vertical and horizontal DACs. They are DACs outputs can be calibrated for scaling and shift so that signals are accurately displayed on the oscilloscope screen. The 7D20 has a "roll" mode that emulates a paper roll chart. It is as if the waveform is being drawn by a pen on the right side of the screen while the paper is being moved to the left at a constant rate. No equivalent to "roll" exists in analog scopes. The Tektronix 2212 also has this feature.

The 7D20 can give NVRAM errors that are often easy to fix.
