The '''Tektronix 7A18''' is a general-purpose 75 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].
The '''Tektronix 7A18''' is a general-purpose 75 MHz dual-trace vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].  Model 7A18N is identical except it omits the [[7000 series readout system|readout circuits]].


Model 7A18N is identical except it omits the [[7000 series readout system|readout circuits]].
Option 06 (first offered in 1975 catalog) adds offset voltage controls giving ±200 Div offset range.
 
The 200 MHz [[7A26]] and 400 MHz [[7A24]] share the same front panel layout and operation.
