5000-series scopes

The Tektronix 5000-series was a range of lower-speed modular scopes made from 1971 to 1991, covering target markets like mechanical or biomedical instrumentation, or audio. They complemented the high-end, modular 7000 series of lab instruments to which they were mechanically similar but not directly compatible, although there are some plug-in modules that come in almost identical 5000- and 7000-series versions, e.g. the 7S14/5S14 sampler or 7CT1N/5CT1N curve tracer.

See the Introduction to the 5000-Series Oscilloscopes and the excellent iceNINE Tech web pages for further information.
