Tektronix has initiated a trade-in program designed to make the purchase of a new waveform monitor or video rasterizer more affordable.

The company has announced that it will take older waveform or rasterizer made by Tektronix, or from any other manufacturer, in trade on a new Tektronix waveform monitor or rasterizer product. Tektronix will credit customers with a 25 percent savings for the traded-in gear.

The waveform monitor/rasterizer trade-in program is in effect until Dec. 31, 2009 and is available only to customers in the United States and Canada. Tektronix models WFM8200 and WFM8300 are excluded from the trade-in program. Customers are requested to contact Tektronix at 800-426-2200 for complete details.
