The '''Tektronix Type Q''' is a strain gauge preamp plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].   
The '''Tektronix Type Q''' is a transducer and strain gauge preamp plug-in for [[500-series scopes]].   
The Type Q contains a 25 kHz oscillator that is used to drive a
 
Wheatstone bridge for measuring the impedance of the strain gauge. 
It can work with resistive, capacitive, or inductive transducers or strain gauges that are
Resistive, capacitive, and inductive strain gauges are supported.
