Tektronix CG5011 Specifications Sheet

The CG 5011 is the premier choice to fill
all your scope calibration requirements,
manual and automated. The CG 5011, with
time markers from 5 seconds down to 0.5
ns, is designed to cover both analog and
digital oscilloscope verification and
calibration.

Horizontal Timing Calibration
Capabilities

The CG 5011 includes a Remote Pulse
head as a standard accessory. It provides
very fast risetime pulses of less than 160
ps, useful for bandwidth testing on vertical
amplifiers as an alternative to a leveled
sine wave generator.

The CG 5011 offers a wide range of
functions, all programmable either by
controller via the GPIB or from the front
panel. ALearn mode allows any manually
set function or range to be acquired by a
controller.

The CG 5011 is even able to keep track
of its next due date for calibration, using
the Next-Cal-Date tracking feature. Built-in
self-test routines and hardware check the
operation of all major circuits each time
power is turned on.

Options add even more capability. The
CG 5011 can be used with the optional
Comparator Head to calibrate built-in
oscilloscope calibrators. The oscilloscope
calibrator and CG 5011 signals are applied
to the Comparator Head and displayed
simultaneously on the scope’s CRT. Errors
are then automatically displayed on the CG
5011 readout.

The Remote Variable option permits
operation of the following front-panel

controls: Units/Div, Variable-Fixed button,
Continue button and the VAR.

Configure the CG 5011 for your own
calibration station requirements. As three­wide TM 5000 Series modules, each one can
stand alone in a TM 5003 mainframe or be
used with a companion SG 5030 Programmable
Leveled Sine Wave Generator in a six-slot
TM 5006Amainframe. Both are ideally
suited for environments where multiple
scopes are maintained.

Finally, whether it’s a single instrument
or a complete calibration package, you can
count on TEGAM to offer more support of
your purchase, including comprehensive
manuals, applications assistance, updates
and a worldwide service network.
