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

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.

Early 316 units had [[selenium rectifiers]].  A modification kit, #040-216, was made available to replace them with silicon diodes.
 
==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.
A kit was available to convert a 316 to a 316-S1 in the field.  From the 1958 catalog:
:''Fan Motor Kit — For converting Type 316 for use on 50 to 800 cycle line frequency (Type 316-S1). Contains brackets, rectifier, and fan motor. 040-141 Fan Motor Kit $40.00''

Tek made a rackmount version of the 316 for Hughes in Hughes green called the RH16.
