This is the "Instrument" template.

If you have come here looking to edit the page for a particular instrument, you took a wrong turn – please do not edit this template.
Instead, please go back to the instrument's page and edit that.

This template is for generic instruments. We have specialized templates based on this one for Oscilloscopes, Probes. Where applicable, please use these specialized templates instead.

This template should be invoked in the following format:

{{Instrument Sidebar 
|manufacturer=
|model=
|class=
|series=
|summary=
|image=
|caption=
|introduced=
|discontinued=
|designers=
|manuals=
}}

Example:

{{Instrument Sidebar
|manufacturer=Tektronix
|model=XYZ
|class=Oscilloscope
|summary=700 MHZ Oscilloscope
|image=Picture of XYZ scope.jpg
|caption=Description of the above picture
|series=96000-series scopes
|introduced=1996
|designers=John Doe;Alice Bob
|discontinued=(?)
}}

manufacturer= should be a page name, designers= a semicolon-delimited list of page names. For class= please align with existing values in the Products table where applicable.

This template adds [[Category:Introduced in (year)]] to the article. If the introduction or discontinuation year is unknown, please use (?) in its place, e.g. introduced=(?).

This template adds rows to the table "Products", which is declared by the template Product. View table.
