The Tektronix 31 is a programmable desktop calculator. It features program branching and a complete set of transcendental functions.
It is built around a custom LSI chip set.
Several interfaces were available:
- Model 152 General Purpose BCD Interface
- Model 153 Tektronix Instrument Interface
- Model 154 RS-232C Interface
These connect to the calculator through a 50-pin card-edge bus interface supporting DMA access at up to 125 kbyte/s. The bus uses open-collector TTL drivers and can be daisy-chained through multiple peripherals (which all have two matching bus connectors for this purpose). It must be terminated at the last unit.
The 31/10 Graphic Calculator System was a bundle of a model 31 with a 4010-1 graphics terminal, interface and software collection.
