(Please read FAQ or "About Me" Page)
These manuals cover the Tektronix 496 Spectrum Analyzer, the TR-503 Tracking Generator, and the TM-503 Power Module. They are scanned from the original manufacturer's manuals. In addition, you get three Application Notes by Tektronix, which are extremely informative and well done.

Schematics, board overlays that have color notes at 600dpi 256 colors
This resolution looks nice, but for many purposes uses excessive resources. You can copy the large file to the hard drive to achieve better performance, but it's certainly of no benefit to you to be required to do that. Therefore, although it's great to have this resolution for those times you need higher definition, we include a second scan of each, in more normal resolutions for daily research and use on the bench.
The second scan is done in resolutions that vary depending on individual page content, but are never higher than needed to produce a useable quality, quickly navigable file that will do the job without consuming more time and resources than are needed.
On the CDs you'll receive the large "very high resolution" file, plus the smaller, faster and often more useable text-searchable version. ALL original manual pages are supplied. Some vendors proudly advertise page counts and file sizes, but since those counts and sizes are very often artificially inflated with advertising, shareware beg screens and/or blank pages, we refrain from joining them and instead assure you that these manuals are complete and are scanned in the specified resolutions.
