=== 3" CRT ===
=== 3" CRT ===
The move to use a 3” CRT rather than a 5” was to produce a “portable” oscilloscope, which the 315-D was promoted as.  With dimensions considerably smaller than the 5” models and only weighing a modest 36 pounds, it offers a lot of performance in a small package.  In [[introduced_in_1956|1956]], Tek introduced a rack mount version, the 315R.  One has to wonder what the benefit of a 3" screen is when it was packaged as a rack sized instrument. Instruments originally used a purchased 3WP_ CRT. A mod was published in 1964 substituting the Tek-made T3100 CRT, part numbers 154-0362-00 through 154-0366-00, depending on the phosphor.
