The Tektronix 7M11 is a plug-in which contains two independent 50 Ohm analog delay lines with 75 ns each.  
The Tektronix 7M11 is a plug-in which contains two independent 50 Ω analog delay lines with 75 ns each.  
Risetime is specified as 175 ps maximum, and attenuation is fixed at two.  
Rise time is specified as 175 ps maximum, and attenuation is fixed at 2:1.  


A separate trigger output is available to eliminate an external power splitter.  Signal through the trigger pick-off output is attenuated by a factor of five.  Delay line connections are 50-ohm [[Connectors#GR-874|GR-874]], trigger pickoff is through a BNC connector.

The maximum signal allowed is +/- 5V.
