The Tektronix Series of books provides a valuable reference to oscilloscope design and applications. The vertical amplifier is the component that largely provides the oscilloscope with its “personality” – the sensitivity, frequency response and accuracy. “Vertical Amplifier Circuits” from 1969 covers both tube and transistor circuit concepts. Starting from basic consideration of how the cathode ray tube functions, the requirements to provide the deflection voltages from the signal source are considered. Theory is supplemented by numerous practical circuits to demonstrate the principles. Topics included are linearity, bandwidth and accurate attenuators. Consideration is given to the requirements for time-base triggering and delay lines. Not only does this book aid the understanding of oscilloscopes, it is also valuable as a guide to the general principals of electronics applied to measurement. The text and diagrams from the book have been carefully scanned, edited and made fully searchable. To keep the file sizes easily manageable, it will be issued in two parts of approximately 200 pages each.

Tektronix published outstanding books about the technology used in their equipment. Unfortunately the books were only issued in the English language. I intend to prepare some of these books for the RM and to demonstrate that it is not only an intention, here is the first book: Cathode-Ray Tubes by Chuck DeVere Second Edition 1969 Contents

Für eine Übersetzung, können Sie versuchen, Google-Übersetzen, oder eine ähnliche Übersetzer. Mit Entschuldigungen, -Joe. Hello Pius, Thank you very much for the top notch scanning and OCR work you have done for this excellent book. I hope the energy stays with you to continue. Ironically, this time the posted material is in English, which is my second Language. As many know by now, I read all the German Language content using Google-Translate. Google-Translate is quite flawed; however the wealth of German Language content comes through, despite the distortions and errors in translation. For those that have a high tolerance for bad, but just comprehensible German, you might try pasting the pdf link for the Tektronix book into the translation box at http://translate.google.com/translate_t?hl=en#de|en|%0A%0A Pius, your superb work with OCR is what makes this mechanized translation possible. The same is true for Thomas Günzel's legendary OCR scanning of Funkschau. It would be very useful if you could share your OCR method; especially, if it is highliy automated. I have done very manual OCR of German text using Softi OCR, which seems to be no longer available. Regards, -Joe |
