INTRODUCTION

The TEKTRONIX TM 500 line of modular instrumentation offers a new approach to electronic tests and measurements. In the past, monolithic signal sources such as function generators, sine-wave oscillators, pulse generators, ramp generators, and dc power

supplies were often interconnected to oscilloscopes for accurate electrical set-ups or measurements of frequency, period, pulse width, rise and fall times, ac-dc currents, and voltages. The front panel interconnections between these monolithic instruments can often become a

In almost

all TM 500 plug-in instruments, a duplication of front panel input and output connections appears on the plug-ins' rear edge circuit board connector. Since each plug-in connector is located inside the power mainframe on a common rear interface circuit board,

plug-ins can be interfaced to

connecting wires and cables easily installed by the user.

DESCRIPTION OF THE APPLICATIONS INDEX

The following APPLICATIONS INDEX was intended to be used as a quick reference guide to a more complete description of

applications. These applications fall into two generalized categories, consisting of multi-instrument applications. In the first case, most users are aware of generalized instrument applications. As a result, only the

unusual single instrument applications are mentioned in the

index. Single instrument applications requiring lengthy descriptions are located under the specific instrument MODULE DATA section. In the second case, multi-instrument applications may be either located in the MODULE DATA section under the primary important instrument or as an application note made available from the

After inserting the desired plug-ins into preselected mainframe

compartments, the prewired programmer connector is inserted into the counterpart male muli-pin connector on the rear of the mainframe.
