The Tektronix 80A06 PatternSync Trigger Module is a single-slot accessory for the Tektronix DSA8300, DSA8200, CSA8200, and TDS8200 series sampling oscilloscopes. It provides programmable pattern-triggering capabilities by accepting a clock input from 150 MHz to 12.5 GHz and generating a synchronized pattern trigger output, enabling precise jitter analysis and pattern waveform characterization on high-speed serial data signals.
