The '''Tektronix 7D20''' is a two-channel digitizing plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].  It is a triple-width plug-in and provides both vertical and horizontal signals to the scope.

The analog waveforms that are sent to the 7000-series mainframe are generated by vertical and horizontal DACs.  The 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, as if the waveform were 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.
