The '''Tektronix Type 544''' is a 50 MHz scope [[introduced in 1964]]. 


The Type 544 is a 50 MHz scope [[introduced in 1964]].  It has one timebase.
It has one timebase with several horizontal magnifier modes (×2, ×5, ×10, ×20, ×50, and ×100).
The timebase has several horizontal magnifier modes: x2, x5, x10, x20, x50, and x100.
To make horizontal magnification usable, the 544 has a vernier horizontal position control in addition to the regular horizontal position control.

regular horizontal position control.   
The fastest calibrated sweep is 10 ns/div.  
The fastest calibrated sweep is 10 ns/div.  
Some magnification modes provide sweeps faster than 10 ns/div, but in those modes the horizontal scale is not calibrated, and a lamp on the front panel lights up to remind the operator of that.

The 544 (at least the early ones) uses the same [[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering circuit
The project lead for the development of the Tektronix 544, [[546]], and [[547]] was [[Bob Rullman]].
as is used in early [[547]] (tunnel diode in the collector load of a PNP differential amplifier).  
The team also included [[Keith Taylor]], [[John Gates]], [[Gene Kauffman]], and [[George Smith]].
 
There is also a rackmount version, the RM544.

The standard 544 and standard RM544 has a total CRT accelerating voltage of 10 kV.
A factory modification, MOD 108G, was available that increased the accelerating voltage to 24 kV.
A factory modification, MOD 108G, was available that increased the accelerating voltage to 24 kV.
The 1968 catalog lists an RM544 Mod 720 which has a direct-access plug-in and has 1 ns risetime.


The 1968 catalog lists an RM544 Mod 720A which comes a package with a [[500-Series Direct Access Plug-in Unit|direct-access plug-in]]. The Mod 720A system has 1 ns risetime (equiv. 350 MHz).
