The Tektronix 7B92 is a 500 MHz timebase plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]]. It was introduced along with the [[7904]] mainframe in 1972.
The Tektronix 7B92 is a 500 MHz dual timebase plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].  
It was introduced along with the [[7904]] mainframe in 1972.


The 7B92 uses a discrete trigger circuit containing [[tunnel diodes]].
An "HF Sync" triggering mode is provided in which the trigger level
control varies the frequency of a built-in oscillator to lock on to the input
for  input signals from 100 to 500 MHz, providing higher sensitivity than the
direct trigger (which is specified up to 500 MHz as well).


Up to serial number B069999, the 7B92A used a discrete trigger circuit.
Internal jumpers are provided to configure the 7B92 for operation in 7800/7900 vs. slower mainframes,
After that, the 7B92A used a [[155-0061-00]] trigger amplifier followed by a
and to select whether the variable control affects the delaying or the delayed time base.
