This is a follow-up to my previous post about repairing a Tektronix CG551AP/CG5001 Calibration Generator. The CG551 had been sitting for many months and I thought it was time to give it a quick check. Shortly after turning on the TM5000 mainframe that I had plugged the CG551 into, I was assaulted by the tell-tale…

This post will documents my recent repair of a Tektronix 284 Pulse Generator. This device was introduced by Tektronix in 1967. It can produce: The Tektronix 284 can be used to check the risetime of oscilloscopes, (both sampling and real time) amplifiers, transistors, transient responses, and for TDR work. The pulses are generated by a…

Originally posted in June of 2021 I recently completed repairing/refreshing and calibrating two Tektronix Type 114 Pulse Generators. This is a solid state pulse generator with variable pulse width (100ns – 10ms) and period (1us to 100mS). It can produce pulses of both polarities (-10v to +10v into 50 ohms). It was introduced in 1965.…

Originally posted in December 2023 Background The Tektronix SG5010 is an audio signal generator plug-in for the TM5000 modular test equipment system. It can generate five waveforms: sine wave, square wave, SMPTE/DIN intermodulation test signal, CCIF intermodulation test signal, and sine wave burst. All these signals may be swept in frequency and amplitude. It can generate…
