The 568 is a [[sampling oscilloscope]] that was [[introduced in 1967]] that takes 3S- and 3T-series plug-ins.   
The '''Tektronix 568''' is a [[sampling oscilloscope]][[introduced in 1967]], which takes 3S- and 3T-series plug-ins.   
Although it was intended to be used for sampling, it can also be used with non-sampling plug-ins of the 3A and 3B series.

Like the [[561]] and [[564]], the 568 does not contain vertical or horizontal amplifiers.  The plug-ins directly drive the deflection plates.  The 568 has multipin connectors on its rear panel that are routed to multipin connectors on the plug-ins.  This is to support external control and measurement using, for example, a [[230]] and [[241]].

Two sampling heads can be interfaced directly to the 568 using the [[012-0130-00]] cable, or
