+The '''Tektronix Type CA''' is the most common plug-in for [[500-series scopes]] – over 50,000 were produced.
+It was designed by [[John Kobbe]] and [[Bill Polits]].
+The NORMAL/INVERT switch and algebraic add functions were suggested by [[Charlie Rhodes]].
-The risetime of a Type [[545]] oscilloscope with a Type CA plug-in is 15 nanoseconds,
+Type CA is an enhancement over its predecessor, Type [[C|53/54C]], adding ADDED mode to the A, B, CHOPPED, ALT repertoire.
-and the bandwidth is 24MHz.  Maximum vertical sensitivity is 50mV/div.
+The "A" in "CA" stands not only for the fact that it is a modified, enhanced replacement, but also because the feature added was "ADDED".

+Type CA was [[introduced in 1959]] and discontinued in 1973, making it not only the most-produced but also one of the longest-lived.
-ADDED mode to the A, B, CHOPPED, ALT repertoire.  The "A" in "CA" stands

-also because the feature added was ADDED.  It was introduced in 1959.
-Late versions have BNC connectors instead of UHF.
