The '''Tektronix 7B53A''' and '''7B53AN''' is a 100 MHz dual time base plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]].
The '''Tektronix 7B53A''' is a 100 MHz dual time base plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]] that was [[introduced in 1973]] and produced until the discontinuation of the 7000 series in 1992.


It succeeded the short-lived [[7B52]], with sweep mode selection integrated into the time/Div switch, and the 7B52's combined trigger level/polarity control replaced with separate, concentric knobs.

The 7B53AN is electrically identical to he 7B53A but omits the circuits needed to drive the alphanumeric readout system provided in 7000-series mainframes.

The '''TD-1085/U''' is a military designation for the 7B53AN11 which was used in the [[AN/USM-281C]] military version of the [[7603]] scope. The '''TD-1159/U''' is another military version of the standard 7B53A with readout support.

There does not appear to have been a product sold called simply "7B53".  There is a 7B53N, a 7B53A, and a 7B53AN.

Sensitivity on the external input is 100 mV/Div, which can be increased to 10 mV/DIv by selecting the x10 magnifier, or decreased to 1 V/Div by pushing the EXT÷10 button.
