The Tektronix Type Z is a comparator plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].
Its two main subsystems are a differential amplifier and a precision variable
DC voltage source, which can be used as one of the amplifier inputs.
This allows DC-coupled measurements of small signals with large DC offsets. 
Its maximum sensitivity is 50mV/div, and it achieves 40,000 to 1 common-mode
