The later 2- and 3- series plug-ins cannot be used in the 560 or 561, as they consume more power. | 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 560 and 561 were short-lived. Both were replaced by the [[561A]], which offered several performance improvements, within less than a year. | The 560 and 561 were short-lived. Both were replaced by the [[561A]], which offered several performance improvements, within less than a year. | ||
