Manuals

It produces a rectangular pulse at its output when it is triggered by a pulse at its input. When the 160 system is used as an oscilloscope, the 161 can serve as the trigger circuit that starts the horizontal sweep. The 161 is documented in the 160-series manual.

Internals

Units with serial numbers 3194 and above use a 6DJ8 tube instead of the 6J6 found in earlier units.
