Tektronix 7000 series oscilloscope mainframes have one (7912) or two vertical plug-in slots, and zero (7612D), one (7xx3, 7912) or two (7xx4) horizontal plug-in slots.
The interconnect on either slot type is a 76-pin PCB edge connector. The pinout on vertical and horizontal slots is not identical but compatible to the point that vertical plugins can be installed in horizontal slots and vice versa. However, in that case, some functions may be unavailable − for example, trigger signals are only routed to H slots so a timebase in a V slot must be externally triggered.
Looking into the mainframe from the front panel, "A" pins are left of the connector centerline (on the plug-in PCB's component side) and "B" are on the right (on the plugin PCB's solder side). Pins are numbered from 1 at the bottom to 38 on the top. In the following table, (H) indicates signals available in horizontal slots only, (H-A) is horizontal slot A, (H-B) is horizontal slot B, and (V) denotes signals available in vertical slots only.

Notes
[note 1] Output from H plugins, input on V plugins
[note 2] Output from V plugins, unused and terminated 50 Ω to ground in mainframe H slots
[note 3] In programmable mainframes, A24 is pulled high to +3 V, indicating to programmable plug-ins to use TS2-TS9 as GPIB lines and a modified readout logic using only TS1 and TS10, with TS1 being active in time slot 1 as in other mainframes, and TS10 being active in each time slot.
[note 4] Not provided by most mainframes (digitizers only?). 7A16P connects B27 to A9, requires −5.2 V on A27.
[note 5] According to the 11000-series interface manual, many 7k plug-in units ground pin B21 or connect it to pin A21, and The 7D10, 7D11, 7D14, 7S14, and possibly some others have pin A21 grounded.
[note 6] A22 = Busy output from 7D12, 7D15, B22 = /Hold input to 7D12, 7D15; no corresponding mainframe connections known
[note 7] connected to +5 V in 7T11
