                                  THE COMPANY

    The  Company  is  a  global  high-technology  company  with  a  portfolio of
measurement, color  printing and  video and  networking businesses.  Measurement
business products include digital and analog oscilloscopes, general purpose test
instruments,  television  waveform  monitors,  vectorscopes,  signal generators,
logic  analyzers,  card-modular  test  instruments,  spectrum  analyzers,  cable
testers,  optical  fiber testers,  cameras, probes  and related  products. Color
printing and imaging products  include color printers  and related products  and
supplies.  Video and  networking products  include studio  production equipment,
signal processing  and distribution  equipment, transmission  systems,  graphics
terminals and related products.

    The  Company  is  an Oregon  corporation  organized in  1946.  Its principal
executive offices are located at 26600 S.W. Parkway Avenue, Wilsonville,  Oregon
97070, and its telephone number is (503) 627-7111.

                                USE OF PROCEEDS

    The  net  proceeds  from  the  offering of  the  Notes  are  expected  to be
approximately  $49,452,500  after  deduction   of  underwriting  discounts   and
commissions  and estimated offering  expenses. The net proceeds  will be used to
repay a portion of the Company's short-term indebtedness (consisting principally
of commercial paper and  borrowings under uncommitted lines  of credit) and  for
general  corporate purposes. At May 27, 1995  (the last day of fiscal 1995), the
interest rates averaged  6.4% on commercial  paper and 5.3%  under the lines  of
credit.  Pending application of the net proceeds, such proceeds will be invested
in short-term interest bearing securities.

                       RATIO OF EARNINGS TO FIXED CHARGES

    The ratio of earnings to fixed charges of the Company for fiscal years 1991,
1992, 1993, 1994 and 1995 were 3.54, 2.47, - , 4.98 and 5.71, respectively.  For
the purpose of computing such ratios, "earnings" represents the aggregate of (a)
income before income taxes and extraordinary items and (b) fixed charges. "Fixed
charges"  represents (a) consolidated interest  charges, (b) the amortization of
debt discount and  expense and premium  on indebtedness and  (c) the portion  of
rents  representative of the interest factor.  Earnings were inadequate to cover
fixed charges in fiscal 1993 by $99,255,000 due to restructuring charges in that
year.

                              DESCRIPTION OF NOTES

    THE FOLLOWING DESCRIPTION OF THE PARTICULAR TERMS OF THE NOTES  SUPPLEMENTS,
AND  TO  THE  EXTENT INCONSISTENT  THEREWITH  REPLACES, THE  DESCRIPTION  OF THE
GENERAL  TERMS  AND  PROVISIONS  OF  THE  DEBT  SECURITIES  SET  FORTH  IN   THE
ACCOMPANYING PROSPECTUS, TO WHICH DESCRIPTION REFERENCE IS HEREBY MADE. WHENEVER
A  DEFINED TERM IS REFERRED TO AND NOT HEREIN DEFINED, THE DEFINITION THEREOF IS
CONTAINED IN  THE  ACCOMPANYING  PROSPECTUS  OR IN  THE  INDENTURE  REFERRED  TO
THEREIN.

GENERAL

    The  Notes will be limited to  $50,000,000 in aggregate principal amount and
will mature on August 15, 2002. The Notes may not be redeemed prior to  maturity
and are not entitled to any sinking fund.

    The  Notes will bear interest  at the rate per annum  set forth on the cover
page of this Prospectus Supplement from August 17, 1995 or from the most  recent
interest  payment date to which interest has  been paid or provided for, payable
semiannually in arrears on  February 15 and August  15 of each year,  commencing
February 15, 1996, to the persons in whose names the Notes are registered at the
close  of  business  on  the  immediately preceding  February  1  and  August 1,
respectively, whether or not such day is a Business Day.

    On April 28,  1995 Citibank,  N.A. became  the successor  Trustee under  the
Indenture.  The Company maintains general  banking and credit relationships with
the Trustee in the  ordinary course of  business. The Trustee is  a member of  a
syndicate of banks with respect to the Company's revolving credit agreement.

BOOK-ENTRY SYSTEM

    Upon  issuance, the Notes will be represented by a Global Security deposited
with, or on behalf of, The Depository  Trust Company, New York, New York,  which
will  act as Depositary with respect to the Notes (the "Depositary"). The Global
Security representing the Notes will be registered  in the name of a nominee  of
the  Depositary. Except  under the  circumstances described  in the accompanying
Prospectus under "Description of Debt Securities--Global Securities," the  Notes
will not be issuable in definitive form. So long as the Notes are represented by
a Global Security, the Depositary's nominee will be considered the sole owner or
holder  of the Notes  for all purposes  under the Indenture,  and the beneficial
owners of the Notes will be entitled only to those rights and benefits  afforded
to  them in accordance  with the Depositary's  regular operating procedures. See
"Description of Debt Securities--Global Securities" in the Prospectus.

    The Depositary has advised the Company and the Underwriters as follows:  The
Depositary  is a limited trust company organized  under the laws of the State of
New York,  a member  of the  Federal Reserve  System, a  "clearing  corporation"
within  the meaning  of the  New York  Uniform Commercial  Code and  a "clearing
agency" registered pursuant  to the provisions  of Section 17A  of the  Exchange
Act.  The Depositary was created to hold  securities for its participants and to
facilitate the clearance  and settlement  of securities  transactions among  its
participants  in  such  securities  through  electronic  book-entry  changes  in
accounts of the participants, thereby eliminating the need for physical movement
of securities  certificates. The  Depositary's participants  include  securities
brokers  and  dealers  (including  the  Underwriters),  banks,  trust companies,
clearing corporations  and certain  other organizations,  some of  whom  (and/or
their representatives) own the Depositary. Access to the Depositary's book-entry
system  is also available to other entities, such as banks, brokers, dealers and
trust companies, that clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with  a
participant, either directly or indirectly.

    A  further description of the Depositary's procedures with respect to Global
Securities is set  forth in  the accompanying Prospectus  under "Description  of
Debt  Securities--Global  Securities."  The  Depositary  has  confirmed  to  the
Company, the  Underwriters  and the  Trustee  that  it intends  to  follow  such
procedures with respect to the Notes.

SAME-DAY FUNDS SETTLEMENT

    Settlement  for the  Notes will be  made by the  Underwriters in immediately
available funds.  All payments  of principal,  and,  so long  as the  Notes  are
represented  by  a  Global  Security,  interest,  will  be  made  in immediately
available funds.

    Secondary trading in long-term notes and debentures of corporate issuers  is
generally  settled in clearing-house  or next-day funds.  In contrast, the Notes
will trade in the Depositary's Same-Day Funds Settlement System until  maturity,
and secondary market trading activity in the Notes will therefore be required by
the Depositary to be settled in immediately available funds. No assurance can be
given  as to the effect, if any, of settlement in immediately available funds on
trading activity in the Notes.

                                  UNDERWRITING

    Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Underwriting  Agreement
dated  the  date  hereof,  the  Company  has  agreed  to  sell  to  each  of the
Underwriters named below, severally, and each of the Underwriters has  severally
agreed  to purchase, the  principal amount of  the Notes set  forth opposite the
name below:



                                PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
NAME                                OF NOTES

J.P. Morgan Securities Inc....   $   30,000,000
Salomon Brothers Inc..........   $   20,000,000
                                ----------------
    Total.....................   $   50,000,000
                                ----------------
                                ----------------


    Under  the  terms  and  conditions   of  the  Underwriting  Agreement,   the
Underwriters  are obligated  to take  and pay for  all of  the Notes  if any are
taken.

    The Underwriters initially propose to offer the Notes directly to the public
at the public  offering price set  forth on  the cover page  of this  Prospectus
Supplement  and to certain dealers at such price less a concession not in excess
of .40% of the principal  amount of the Notes.  The Underwriters may allow,  and
such  dealers may reallow, a  concession not in excess  of .25% of the principal
amount of the Notes to certain other dealers. After the initial public offering,
the public offering price and such concessions may be changed.

    The Company does not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on a  national
securities  exchange, but has been advised  by the Underwriters that they intend
to make a market in the Notes.  The Underwriters are not obligated, however,  to
make a market in the Notes and may discontinue market making at any time without
notice.  No assurance can be given as to the liquidity of the trading market for
the Notes.

    The Company  has  agreed  to  indemnify  the  Underwriters  against  certain
liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.

    In  the ordinary course of their  respective businesses, the Underwriters or
their affiliates have engaged and may in the future engage in investment banking
and/or commercial banking transactions with the Company.
