Type W is faster (bandwidth 23 MHz to 8 MHz depending on gain) than its [[Z|Type Z]] predecessor, and it extends performance in terms of sensitivity, reaching 1 mV/div. | |||
It achieves 20,000 to 1 common-mode rejection at DC and low frequencies. | |||

Early production Type W in a [[556]] mainframe won't meet spec for overdrive recovery time, because an overdriven W passes enough common-mode to the mainframe vertical amp to saturate it. | |||
At S/N 3270, this was fixed, by adding another stage to attenuate CM. The new "output amp" circuit board clips onto the rear bulkhead; significant hand mods are required on the chassis. | |||
This was also offered as Modification kit 040-0447-00 to retrofit existing instruments. | |||
In the letter-series timeline of differential comparators, Type W, [[introduced in 1965]], | Type W was created with a pair of type [[8056]] [[Nuvistor|Nuvistors]] in the front end. In 1971 (S/N 7000), following the lead of Type [[1A7]], the Nuvistors were replaced by JFETs to reduce drift. | ||
