The '''Tektronix TM500 | The '''Tektronix TM500''' is a modular test equipment system offering a variety of plug-in modules that fit [[TM500 and TM5000 mainframes|a dedicated series of mainframes]] with one to six module slots. The plugins are not compatible with other Tektronix lines such as oscilloscopes. | ||
The '''TM5000''' series, [[introduced in 1982]], added a [[GPIB interface]] on the mainframe to control intelligent plugins. TM500 series modules work in TM5000 series mainframes but not necessarily vice versa (see ref. below). | |||
In addition to the modules that appeared in Tek catalogs over the years, there were probably a hundred or more that Tektronix designed and used in-house on their production lines for test and calibration of their products. These in-house units usually have an [[:Category:Calibration fixtures|067-xxxx-xx number]]. | In addition to the modules that appeared in Tek catalogs over the years, there were probably a hundred or more that Tektronix designed and used in-house on their production lines for test and calibration of their products.
