The '''Tektronix 561''' is a [[560-series_scopes|560-series scope]] that was [[introduced in 1961]] and produced in various versions well into the 1970s.

The original 561 and RM561 were introduced in 1961.   
The original 561 and RM561 were introduced in 1961.   
Similar to the 560, also [[introduced in 1961]], the 561 has a round CRT.   
Similar to the 560, also [[introduced in 1961]], the 561 has a round CRT.   
It supports the 50, 60 and 70 series of plug-ins, with the highest system bandwidth of 4 MHz.
It supports the 50, 60 and 70 series of plug-ins, with the highest system bandwidth of 4 MHz.  
The 561 uses the [[T5032]] CRT, which has a glass envelope.
The later 2- and 3- series plug-ins cannot be used in the 560 or 561, as they consume more power.
Early, low power, plugins have the nylon guide on their backplane pointing into the plugin, while the later, higher power consuming, plugins have those nylon guides pointing outward.
The outward pointing guide will bump into the chassis of a 560 or 561, preventing it from fully inserting.
The 561A and all later 560 series scopes, with higher capability power supplies, have a hole in the chassis that allows the outward pointing nylon guide to clear, allowing full insertion.
 
The 561 uses the [[T5032]] CRT, which has a glass envelope. The 561 and later versions also had a front panel calibrator signal for calibrating the plugins to the mainframe.
The 561 calibrator has 18 attenuation steps and can output a square wave with an amplitude of 200 μV to 100 V.
 
Early serial numbers of the 561 use a neon bulb (B633) in the -100 V regulator circuit, however, later versions (including the 561A and later) used a transistor.
The modification for early units is documented at the end of the 561 manual and in the 040-288 Field Modification Instructions.

The 561A supports all 2 and 3 series plug-ins. 
The 561A was one of the mainframes offered for the [[Engine Analyzer System]].
The popular 60 and 70 series plug-ins were renamed
by adding a “2A, 2B, 3A, or 3B” in front to the two digit model number. 
New 3 series plug-ins were also added which consume
more power than the original 60 and 70 series. 
Due to the higher power consumption,
these newer plug-ins can not be used in the original 561. 
The highest bandwidth plug-ins gave a system bandwidth of 10 MHz.


The 561A was one of the mainframes offered for the [[Engine Analyzer]] package.
An RM561A with two custom plug-ins was incorporated (upside-down) as the standard display in the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LINC LINC] computer.

The Mod210C replaced the T5610 ceramic CRT with the T5032 glass CRT and an external graticule. The graticule illumination was changed to red and the BNC connectors of the scope and plugins were replaced with UHF connectors. The graticule has an engraved sinewave. A green light filter was added between the CRT and the graticule.

The 3A1S and 3B1S were the only plug-ins that could be used in the 561S because the T5033 CRT has higher deflection sensitivity than the CRT used in the 561, 561A, and 561B.

voltage of -3300 V, like the other 561 models.
 
===Plugin Compatibility=== 
The popular 60 and 70 series plug-ins were later given a “2A, 2B, 3A, or 3B” prefix.
The highest bandwidth plug-ins gave a system bandwidth of 10 MHz when used in the 561A and 561B.
 
The 561A, RM561A, 561B, and RM561B are compatible with all of the 2 and 3-series plugins that Tektronix made.
The 561 and RM561 have limited compatibility with some 3-series plugins, mainly due to the CRT circuit.
For plugins such as the 3B1 and 3B3 time bases there are issues with the blanking and intensified sweep.
The 561A and subsequent models used a dual-secondary winding transformer in the CRT power supply, with one winding used in an intensifying pulse circuit which the original 561 lacked.
Other 3-series plugins may be used in the original 561 with some modifications – for example, to use a 3A74 4-channel vertical plugin in a 561 sn101 to 579, the +6 V unregulated supply needs to be disconnected from both plugin connectors (pin 18).
Later 561's with sn580 and higher already had this change implemented. More information regarding the use of 3-series plugins and the required modifications (if available) can be found in the Tektronix 561 Instrument Reference Book (IRB).
