The '''Tektronix Type 82''' is a dual-trace plug-in for the [[580-series scopes]]. 
The Type 82 combined with a [[585]] or 585A provides a 4 nanosecond risetime (85 MHz bandwidth).

The '''Tektronix Type 82''' is a dual-trace plug-in for the [[580-series scopes]]. 
==Internals==
The Type 82 combined with a [[585]] or 585A provides a 4 nanosecond risetime. 
The front end of the Type 82 has three versions, depending on serial number range.

==Specifications==
The [[585]] manual warns that for proper performance with the 82 and higher-numbered plug-ins, 585 non-A scopes with serial numbers before 2585 should have the back termination of the final distributed amplifier output modified to the later circuit (modification 040-275).
