The Tektronix Type 536 is an X-Y scope introduced in 1957 that takes two letter-series and 1-series plug-ins, one for the horizontal axis and one for the vertical axis. The Type 536 does not contain trigger and sweep circuitry. In case a 536 is to be used as a conventional oscilloscope, a the Type T timebase plug-in is available.

The 536 contains identical vertical and horizontal amplifiers. This allows an equal bandwidth of 11MHz in both directions. It also has a special CRT with equal bandwidths in both directions. Aside from the amplifiers, the only other circuitry in the entire scope is the power supplies and calibrator.
