The '''Tektronix 7T11''' is a time base plug-in for the [[7000-series scopes]]. | The '''Tektronix 7T11''' is a [[sampling oscilloscope|sampling]] time base plug-in for the [[7000-series scopes]] that was [[introduced in 1969]]. | ||
It | It is specially designed to work in conjunction with one or two [[7S11]] samplers and their [[7000_and_3S_series_sampling_heads|sampling head plug-ins]]. | ||
Because the 7T11 and 7S11 have [[7000-series Sampling Shoe|direct interconnections side by side]], they also work in slow mainframes. | Because the 7T11 and 7S11 have [[7000-series Sampling Shoe|direct interconnections side by side]], they also work in slow mainframes. | ||

Due to its sampling principle (so called equivalent time sampling or undersampling), the 7T11 can only be used on repetitive signals | Due to its sampling principle (so called equivalent time sampling or undersampling), the 7T11 can only be used on repetitive signals. | ||
Samples are always taken from signal portions delayed from the trigger event. | |||
This delay is adjustable on the front panel to select the portion of interest. | This delay is adjustable on the front panel to select the portion of interest. | ||
At the three lowest time position ranges, the 7T11 changes from equivalent time sampling to real-time sampling. | At the three lowest time position ranges, the 7T11 changes from equivalent time sampling to real-time sampling. | ||
To obtain maximum bandwidth, the sampling heads contain no delay lines, so the 7T11 needs an external pre-trigger if there are random, high-jitter signals or if the original signal triggered onto needs to be observed. | To obtain maximum bandwidth, the sampling heads contain no delay lines, so the 7T11 needs an external pre-trigger if there are random, | ||
