==Internals==
The 7D15 uses a number of Tek-made custom chips.  The [[155-0086-00]], [[155-0087-00]] and [[155-0088-00]] legend generators are specific to this plug-in.  The [[155-0090-00]] or [[155-0171-00]] four decade counter/latch/DAC chips implement the lower six counter digits.  For the topmost two digits, the 7D15 employs ECL counters.  ECL logic requires a −5 V supply, which a switching regulator (board A8) generates from the −15 V rail.
The 5 MHz signal from the (non-ovenized) internal reference crystal oscillator is divided down to a 1 MHz master clock.  Optionally, the 1 MHz can be supplied externally as well.  An internal VCO, phase-locked to the 1 MHz master, produces a 100 MHz input to the counter chain for timing measurements.
