“High resolution scans of obsolete technical manuals”

If your looking for a quality scanned technical manual in PDF format please visit

our WEB site at www.artekmedia.com or drop us an email at

[email protected] and we will be happy to email you a current list of the

manuals we have available.

If you don’t see the manual you need on the list drop us a line anyway we may

still be able to point you to other sources. If you have an existing manual you

would like scanned please write for details. This can often be done very

reasonably in consideration for adding your manual to our library.

Typically the scans in our manuals are done as follows;

1) Typed text pages are typically scanned in black and white at 300 dpi.

2) Photo pages are typically scanned in gray scale mode at 600 dpi

3) Schematic diagram pages are typically scanned in black and white at 600

dpi unless the original manual had colored high lighting (as is the case for

some 70’s vintage Tektronix manuals).

4) Most manuals are text searchable

5) All manuals are fully bookmarked

All data is guaranteed for life (yours or mine … which ever is shorter). If for ANY

REASON your file becomes corrupted, deleted or lost, Artek Media will replace

the file for the price of shipping, or free via FTP download.

SPECIFICATION

Introduction

effectively use the 7L5 Spectrum Analyzer, the

operation and capabilities

instrument

must be

known.

This

instruction

manual covers general operating

information

about

the instrument. Service information,

such as

circuit

and

are contained

in the Service manual.

Description

The 7L5 is a 5 MHz

spectrum

analyzer

with

digital

storage. Frequency

within

Hz/hr

and center

frequency (dot) can be read

with

six

digit

accuracy

immediately

after

turn-on.

Thereis no need to

fine

tunethe

display.

Complex

measurements and analysis can be

made

with

relativeease.

Built-in

micro-processing

circuits

decode

control

settings, process

frequency

and reference

level information, and

optimize

sweep time and resolution

for

the selected

frequency

span.

The 7L5 with 80

spurious

free

dynamic

range, provides the

ability

to measure

wide

relative

amplitudes.

Nanovolt

signal and noise measurements.
