The '''Tektronix Type CA''' is the most common plug-in for [[500-series scopes]]. | |||
Over 50,000 were produced. | |||
The risetime of a Type [[545]] oscilloscope with a Type CA plug-in is 15 nanoseconds, | |||
and the bandwidth is 24 MHz. Maximum vertical sensitivity is 50 mV/div. | |||
Type CA is an enhancement over its predecessor, Type [[C|53/54C]], adding | |||
ADDED mode to the A, B, CHOPPED, ALT repertoire. The "A" in "CA" stands | |||
not only for the fact that it is a modified, enhanced replacement, but | |||
also because the feature added was "ADDED". It was [[introduced in 1959]] and | |||
discontinued in 1973, making it not only the most-produced but | |||
also one of the longest-lived. | |||
Late versions have [[BNC connector]]s instead of [[UHF connector]]s. | |||
[[Lavoie Laboratories]] produced an unauthorized clone, the [[Lavoie LA-265-CA]]. | |||
