[[Bob Webb]] and maybe [[Jim Geddes]] and possibly [[Cliff Moulton]] designed the Type [[77]], which evolved into the 3T77.
[[Bob Webb]] and maybe [[Jim Geddes]] and possibly [[Cliff Moulton]] designed the a plug-in called "Type 77" (not to be confused with the identically named but totally different non-sampling sweep plug-in also called [[77|Type 77]]). The "Type 77" sampling sweep evolved into the 3T77.


It triggers on either the internal trigger pick-off from the vertical plug-in or from an external trigger signal input.   
The '''Tektronix 3T77A''' made its first appearance in the 1966 catalog.
 
Both versions trigger on either the internal trigger pick-off from the vertical plug-in or from an external trigger signal input.   
Triggering is faster and more sensitive with an external input.   
Triggering is faster and more sensitive with an external input.   


The 3T77 can operate in any of four modes: external sweep, manual sweep, normal, or single sweep.   
The 3T77/3T77A can operate in any of four modes: external sweep, manual sweep, normal, or single sweep.   
In external sweep mode, an external control voltage is applied to a BNC connector on the front panel of the 3T77.   
In external sweep mode, an external control voltage is applied to a BNC connector on the front panel of the 3T77.   
This voltage determines the X-position of the spot on the CRT and, correspondingly, the delay from the trigger event to the sampling point.
