– Key Features
• Single-pen design optimized for XY plotting applications
• Electrostatic hold-down eliminates mechanical paper clamps and associated artifacts
• Flexible voltage scaling via vernier adjustment eliminates need for multiple recorder units
• TTL-compatible remote interface supports automated data acquisition systems and external triggering
• Pen lift automation reduces operator intervention and enables continuous unattended recording sessions
– Typical Applications
The 7015B serves precision measurement documentation in physics, materials testing, process control, and instrumentation applications where direct chart recording provides immediate visual verification of signal behavior. Its switchable voltage ranges and extended time-base options accommodate phenomena spanning nanosecond-scale transients through multi-minute slow processes.
– Compatibility & Integration
TTL-level remote control interface enables integration with standard laboratory trigger and control systems. The recorder accepts external signals for sweep initiation and system reset, supporting synchronized multi-instrument measurement protocols.
