The 4S1 is a dual-trace sampling unit for the 661. Each channel has a trigger pickoff, a delay line, and a sampler. The sampling pulses for each channel is generated by a step recovery diodes are is fed to a sampling bridge made with four GaAs diodes. These diodes are fragile and direct replacements are hard to find. People have improvised replacements using modern integrated Schottky diodes such as those in HP's HSMS-28x series. | The 4S1 is a dual-trace sampling unit for the 661.
