The Tektronix 661 is a [[sampling oscilloscope]] that was made by Tektronix starting in 1961.   
The Tektronix 661 is a [[sampling oscilloscope]] that was [[introduced in 1961]].   
It accepts two plug-ins: a sampling unit and a timing unit.

Four sampling units were made:  
Four different sampling units were made:  
the [[4S1]] (0.35 ns rise time),
* [[4S1]] (0.35 ns rise time)
the [[4S2|4S2 and 4S2A]] (0.1 ns rise time), and the [[4S3]]
* [[4S2|4S2 and 4S2A]] (0.1 ns rise time)
Three timing units were made: the [[5T1]], [[5T1A]], and the [[5T3]]
* [[4S3]] (uses [[P6038]] sampling probes)
 
Three timing units were made:  
* [[5T1]]
* [[5T1A]]
* [[5T3]]
 
The timing units use [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering.   
The timing units use [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering.   
Two 50-ohm coaxial cables in the scope connect the sampling unit to the timing unit.
