The Tektronix 7623 is a 60 MHz analog multi-mode storage mainframe, introduced in 1973.
The 7623A facelift in 1975 increased bandwidth to 100 MHz. The 7623B version, specified at 100 MHz, added a reduced scan mode to increase stored writing speed (essentially it was a re-named 7633). It replaced the 7613, 7623A and 7633 in 1991. There were also R7623(A,B) rack-mount versions.

Internals

The 7623 uses a Transfer storage CRT which includes an internal, fast-responding storage mesh. In fast mode, the time base is inhibited after a sweep, and the transfer cycle is started. Individual sweeps therefore occur in about one-second intervals.
