The '''Tektronix 5403''' is a 60 MHz variable-persistence storage scope mainframe.
The '''Tektronix 5403''' is a 60 MHz scope mainframe base unit that uses [[5000-series plug-ins]]. It allows CRT readout of settings when used with plug-ins that support this. Most 60 MHz plug-ins and time bases do.
 
It was sold preconfigured with a display unit:
* a [[D40]] single beam unit would make it a [[5440]] single beam (but multi-trace, depending on plug-ins) oscilloscope,
* a [[D41]] storage display unit would make it a [[5441|5441 CRT storage scope]],
* a [[D44]] dual beam display unit would make it a [[5444|5444 dual beam oscilloscope]].
 
Many scopes have a nameplate on top carrying the 5403 base unit model number instead of the full model (5440, 5441, 5444), sometimes confusing owners.
