Currently the primary workbench oscilloscope. The Tektronix 465 Oscilloscope is a dual-channel portable instrument. The dual-channel dc-to-100MHz Vertical system provides deflection factors from 5 millivolts to 5 folts/division. The sweep trigger circuits are capable of stable triggering over the full bandwidth capabilities of the vertical deflection system. The horizontal deflection system provides calibrated sweep rates from 0.5 second to .05 microsecond/division along with delayed sweep features for accurate relative-time measurements. A x10 magnifier extends the sweep rate to 5 nanoseconds/division. The instrument operates over a wide variation of line voltages and frequencies. Maximum power consumption is about 100 watts.

Atop sits the DM44 Digital Multimeter. The Tektronix DM44 Digital Multimeter measures 0 ohm to 20 megohms, 0 dc volt to 1200 dc volts (+ or -), or (using the temperature probe) -55C to 150C. The measurement is displayed on a 3-1/2 digit digital display while the oscilloscope operates normally.

The digital multimeter and oscilloscope combine to provide a digital readout of the time between any two points on the oscilloscope display. Both time measurements points are displayed on the crt at the same time. The 1/TIME function can provide direct measurement of frequency.
