The '''Tektronix 7A24''' is a 400 MHz dual-channel vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]] with (fused) 50 Ω [[BNC]] inputs.
The '''Tektronix 7A24''' is a 400 MHz dual-channel vertical plug-in for [[7000-series scopes]] with (fused) 50 Ω [[BNC]] inputs. It is the fastest multi-channel plug-in available for the 7000 series.  Unlike most other plug-ins, it does not offer AC input coupling.
