Produced

1975–1991

Power

1 mV/div to 10 V/div, 1-2-5 sequence[1]

What it is

The Tektronix 314 was produced from 1975 to 1991.[1]

The instrument has a bandwidth of DC to 10 MHz and provides dual-trace display.[1]

How it works

The storage CRT has a writing speed greater than 80 divisions per millisecond in normal mode and greater than 400 divisions per millisecond in enhanced mode.[1]

The CRT acceleration voltage is 2 kV and the display area is 8 by 10 divisions with a division size of 6 mm.[1]

The 314 includes controls for erase, enhance level, and auto-erase, and provides a calibrator output of 0.5 V at 100 kHz.[3]

Where it fits in the process flow

General reference — not yet source-verified

Oscilloscopes such as the 314 are general-purpose test instruments used in a wide range of electronics work, including design, debug, production testing, and field service.

Applications

The 314 can measure voltage, time intervals, frequency, phase, risetime, and delay time directly from displayed waveforms.[3]
