Tektronix and VintageTEK

Tony and Ian from Tektronix take a visit to the VintageTEK museum, in Portland, Oregon. They see the Tektronix 7000 series, a distant ancestor of the Mixed Domain Oscilloscope (MDO), compare how both instruments show frequency domain and time domain data together, and discuss concepts around downconversion, swept IF architecture and Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). Ed Sinclair and Stan Griffiths, co-founders of VintageTEK, also show old Tektronix memorabilia and many restored and still-operational Tektronix instruments, including the very first Tektronix oscilloscope model from the 1940s. VintageTEK is a charitable, educational and scientific museum founded to commemorate the early history of Tektronix. Their main goal is to share knowledge and history and to "pique the interest of young people in science and technology and to challenge them to become the technologists of the next decade".
