TEK TSG100NTSC Signal Generator

Features

The test signal matrix consists of equal segments of NTC 7 composite, NTC 7 combination, color bars, (sin x)/x and 50% flat field. This matrix is intended for use with automated measurement sets such as the Tektronix VM 700A Video Measurement Set.

Front and rear panel test signal outputs provide convenient access to test signals for both rack mount and service bench applications.

A front panel scope trigger output is provided for service applications. Horizontal or vertical repetition rate is front panel selectable.

The TSG 100 includes a 1 kHz audio tone generator for continuity and level checks. Level of the tone is user adjustable over a 0 to +8 dBu range. The level 0 dBu is equivalent to 0 dBm in a 600 Ohm environment. Output is on a rear panel XLR connector.

The TSG 100 is housed in a compact, rugged mechanical package and, with DC power operation, is suitable for studio, mobile unit and field portable applications.
