The '''Tektronix 160 series''' is a modular instrument made from the mid-1950s (schematics drawn in [[introduced in 1953|1953]]) to the late 1960s (in 1969 catalog). The catalog describes them as instruments designed to generate timed pulses of variable amplitude and width for use in nerve stimulation/neurophysical experiments. | |||
