Applications
The Tektronix 5A18N is a dual-trace vertical amplifier plug-in for the 5000-series modular oscilloscope platform, a system Tektronix introduced in the early 1970s that allowed users to configure their oscilloscope by swapping interchangeable plug-in amplifier and time-base modules. The 5A18N provided two independent amplifier channels with identical characteristics, giving the user the ability to display and compare two signals simultaneously or display their algebraic sum or difference — a capability that was particularly useful in electronic circuit development, signal integrity work, and lab-bench troubleshooting. This instruction manual was the primary reference document for technicians and engineers operating or servicing the plug-in, covering deflection factor, input coupling, frequency response, step response, and calibration procedures in line with MIL-STD-12B and IEEE standards as noted in the change information section. The 5000-series platform and its plug-ins date from the early-to-mid 1970s and are now sought by vintage test equipment collectors, oscilloscope restorers, and anyone maintaining legacy Tektronix instruments.
This Tektronix 5A18N Dual-Trace Amplifier Instruction Manual (pub. no. 070-1137-00) has been inspected and is in good used condition. The blue cover shows moderate shelf wear and some light surface scuffing consistent with age, but the spiral binding is intact and all pages appear present and legible. The table of contents and interior pages are clean with no highlighting or heavy markings noted. Please view our photo set and contact us if you have any questions.
