In serial numbers 7601 and up, the 531's delay line is between the vertical amplifier and the CRT. ' | In serial numbers 7601 and up, the 531's delay line is between the vertical amplifier and the CRT. This change was the result of [[John Kobbe]]'s insight that if the far end of the delay line was an open circuit (which the CRT approximates), the reflected wave could be absorbed at the source end. This "single termination" approach made it possible to do away with the output chassis. All Tek scopes using a lumped-constant delay line went to this topology. | ||
There is also a rack-mount version, Types RM31 and RM31A. They have a sliding chassis so that the scope can be serviced without removing it from a rack. | There is also a rack-mount version, Types RM31 and RM31A.
