===Electrical Similarity to 7000-Series Plug-in Interface===
===Electrical Similarity to 7000-Series Plug-in Interface===
The Tektronix 11000 Series plug-in interface is electrically partially the same as the 7000 Series interface.
The Tektronix 11000 Series plug-in interface is [[Similarity of 11000-series interface and 7000-series interface | electrically partially the same as the 7000 Series interface]].
The power pins are the same, and the signal out pins are the same.
The power pins are the same, and the signal out pins are the same.
<!-- There are no horizontal plug-in slots (timebase is internal to the instrument). -->
7000-series vertical plug-ins provide a single trigger feed to the mainframe on pins A13/B13 (differential).
7000-series vertical plug-ins provide a single trigger feed to the mainframe on pins A13/B13 (differential).
11000-series vertical plug-ins also provide a trigger feed on pins A13/B13,
11000-series vertical plug-ins provide a trigger feed on pins A13/B13,
and also provide trigger signals on B37/B38 and B35/B36.
and additionally provide trigger signals on B37/B38 and B35/B36.
 
Note that despite this similarity, there are plenty of other issues − [[John Addis]] warns that converting 7k plug-ins to work in the 11k series or vice versa ''[[Similarity of 11000-series interface and 7000-series interface | "is not even close to being worth the effort"]].
