The Tektronix 7S11 is a sampling plug-in for 7000-series scopes.

It takes one S-series sampling head, e.g. S-4 or S-6, to form a complete vertical plug-in. Bandwidth and sensitivity are determined by the sampling head, not the plug-in.

For operation, a 7T11 or 7S12 plug-in is needed, to which the 7S11 connects through contact strips on the right side of the plug-in. The control signals are routed to a similar strip on the left of the module for another 7S11 in a dual-channel configuration. An alternative configuration consists of a pair of 7S11s, one in the right vertical and the other in the A or only horizontal bay, for an X-Y display in free-running mode (~50 kHz strobe).

The DC offset voltage as well as the vertical display signal are accessible on the front panel through Pin Tip jacks.

Delay range at least 10 ns
Weight 0.9 kg (3.25 lbs)

Internals

The 7S11 does not contain integrated circuits (except dual transistors).
