The '''Tektronix Type 130''' is a self-contained instrument, designed by [[Cliff Moulton]] and [[introduced in 1959]], that measures inductance and capacitance. | |||
There are at least two versions of Type 130. | |||
Early units (SN 101-5000) have a narrow boxy case that slides off the chassis, backlit meter, and are marked "TYPE 130 L,C METER". | |||
At some point between SN 101 and SN 842, the case color changed from brown to blue. | |||
Later units (SN 5001-Up) have a wider, rounded case with side panels that pop off, blue paint, non-backlit meter, and are marked "TYPE 130 L-C METER". | |||

==Internals== | |||
The 130 contains an LC oscillator with a tank circuit formed by the device under test and a capacitor or inductor internal to the 130. | |||
The oscillator's frequency is measured by mixing it down using a fixed reference frequency, generating a pulse at each zero-crossing, | |||
and integrating (low-pass filtering) the pulse train. | |||
This produces a voltage that is proportional to the frequency difference between the LC oscillator and the reference oscillator. | |||
This voltage is displayed on a d'Arsonval (moving coil) meter on the front panel of the 130. | |||
