:The NT-7000 was not designed and built by Tektronix Germany. It was designed and built by a small start up company, Oregon Analog Tools, located in Portland OR. Tektronix Germany must have signed an OEM agreement with OAT. The purpose of the NT-7000 was to provide power and signal out from a [[7A13]]. The target market was SMPS (Switching Mode Power Supply) designers, as a differential amplifier with fast over drive recovery is required to make many of the measurements on the switching devices. When Tek discontinued the 11000 series with the [[11A33]], no suitable product was available, although the market still needed a solution. | :The NT-7000 was not designed and built by Tektronix Germany.

:Hi folks, it is for sure that this device was developed in Hamburg/Germany. Please have a look at the sticker. I was the engineering manager for this project at that time and the engineer was Herbert Nebe. Please refer to the schematic. It shows September 15, 1998! Oregon Analog Tools was founded in 1992! Of course they may have developed a similar product because it was obvious that there was a need for it.

We developed this power supply because the [https://www.desy.de/index_eng.html DESY] research lab wanted to use the 7A13 and 7A22 for data processing connecting to their own digitizers. Tek Germany sold a lot of the differential amps because of the NT-7000. That was the purpose of the development. Later on we supplied this item to other research labs as well. We stopped producing the NT-7000 in 1992. [[User:Wolfgang]] | ||
