How it works

Analog waveform monitors display video signals in various measurement modes to assess signal quality. The Tektronix 1745 A supports multiple display modes including vector, waveform, audio, SC/H phase, and picture modes. The front panel provides controls for selecting and adjusting these modes.[3]

The instrument includes a cathode-ray tube (CRT) for visual display. The monitor features a graticule overlay for measuring signal amplitude and timing. The Tektronix 1745 A also includes remote control capability and an RS232 interface.[3]
