The '''Tektronix 316''' is a 10 MHz three-inch scope [[introduced in 1959]], similar to the [[317]].
The '''Tektronix 316''' is a 10 MHz three-inch scope [[introduced in 1959]], similar to the [[317]].
It was designed by [[Ron Olson]].


The main difference is that the 317 has more CRT  
The main difference is that the 317 has more CRT accelerating voltage (9 kV versus 1.8 kV) for a brighter, sharp display.

The 316 has a portable benchtop shape.  The scope was also made in
two other forms, the RM16 and the RS16.  The RM16 is a rackmount version
of the 316.  The RS16 is also a rackmount version of the 316, but has the
power supply in a separate unit so it can fit in shallow racks.

== 316-S1 ==
Early 316 units had [[selenium rectifiers]].  A modification kit, #040-216, was made available to replace them with silicon diodes.
The regular Type 316 scope runs on 50 Hz to 60 Hz power and has and AC fan motor.
 
==316-S1 ==
The regular Type 316 scope runs on 50 Hz to 60 Hz power and has an AC fan motor.
The 316-S1 runs on 50 Hz to 800 Hz power and has a DC fan motor.
The 316-S1 runs on 50 Hz to 800 Hz power and has a DC fan motor.
A kit was available to convert a 316 to a 316-S1 in the field.  From the 1958 catalog:
