The Tektronix 564 is the storage scope of the 560 series, introduced in June 1962. It takes two 2- or 3-series plug-ins. The RM564 is the rack-mount version.

The 564 is a tube-based oscilloscope. It was superseded by the 564B in 1969, which is fully solid state. MOD121N added auto-erase. The screen has bi-stable storage in two 4 cm × 10 cm sections, allowing independent saving and erasing of the upper and lower half.

The 564 was one of the mainframes offered for the Engine Analyzer System.

Mechanical designer of the 564 was Bob Shand.

Key Specifications

Bandwidth	Determined by plug-in (up to 25 MHz available) or up to 1 GHz with 3-series sampling plugins
Writing speed	≥25 Div/ms with T5640-200; ≥100 Div/ms with T5640-201
Storage time	At least 1 hour
CRT	8×10 Div @ 1 cm/Div, 3.5 kV acceleration; external graticule; Standard CRT, T5640-200 (154-0410-00); Fast Writing Speed, T5640-201 (154-0418-00)
Calibrator	564: 0.2 mV to 100 V_p-p in 18 2-5-10 steps, square wave at line frequency (RM564: 1 mV to 100 V in 6 decade steps)
Power	105−125 V or 210−250 V, 50 to 400 Hz, Convection cooling, thermal cut-off switch; 250 W max.
Weight	Without plugins: ~13.8 kg (30.5 lbs)

Steve Ditter says:

Tektronix offered two phosphors for the 564. You can determine which one you have by reading the CRT part number, visible in the window in the shield where the deflection plate connections are. 154-0410-00 is P200, which was the standard tube. The 154-0418-00 is the P201, which has faster writing rate, but at the expense of about 30% shorter useful life.

Internals

As in all 560 series scopes, the left plug-in directly drives the vertical deflection plates of the CRT, and the right plug-in directly drives the horizontal deflection plates.

Accessories

The 012-0102-00 Storage Oscilloscope Control Unit that works with the 549 also works with the 564B but not the 564. It provides (corded) remote reset of the sweep and independent erase of the upper and lower storage areas.
