The vertical characteristics are mostly determined by the vertical plug-ins. 
 
The fastest sweep is 1 μs/div (100 ns/div with 10x horizontal magnification enabled).
The sweep delay can be adjusted over a range from 10 μs to 50 seconds.
 
Power consumption, including plug-ins, is about 600 watts, maximum.
 
The internal calibrator produces a 1 kHz square wave with amplitude selectable in decade steps from 1 mV to 100 V.

There is no post-deflection acceleration.
The CRT cathode is at −3.9 kV, which is produced by a transformer driving a single [[1X2]] rectifier tube.

=== Trigger and Sweep ===
The 565 is the only 560-series mainframe that has built-in trigger, timebase, and horizontal amplifier circuitry.
In all other [[560-series scopes]], those functions are performed by the horizontal plug-in.
The triggering signal comes from pin 11 on the plug-ins, is amplified by a [[12AT7]]-based cathode follower,

(D845, a [[TD4]], which is equivalent to the [[1N3718]]) in the trace intensification circuit. 
The tunnel diode forms a bistable multivibrator: kick it one way and it turns on and stays on,
kick it the other way and it turns off and stays off.
The tunnel diode is DC-coupled to the base-emitter junction of Q843,
which is a 2N404 germanium PNP transistor.
Because the tunnel diode and transistor are DC-coupled, the transistor needs to be germanium.
This is one of the rare cases when a failed germanium transistor cannot be replaced with a silicon part.
Contrast this with the timebase A trigger of the [[585|585A]], which uses a tunnel diode AC-coupled to a transistor,
which makes the forward voltage of the transistor's base-emitter junction irrelevant.

=== Calibrator ===
The calibrator is an astable multivibrator formed by one half of a [[12AT7]] and a [[6AU6]].

It is an astable multivibrator formed by one half of a [[12AT7]] and a [[6AU6]].
The other half of the 12AT7 serves as the output cathode follower for the calibrator.

=== Auxiliary Power Jack ===
The 565 has an [[Amphenol 165 series connectors|Amphenol 165 series connector]] (J780) on the rear panel,
which allows the 565 to provide power to external devices.
The pinout and specs are shown below.

Subjectively, the trace of the 565 is very sharp, sharper than the trace of the 556.

== Mechanical ==
Benchtop (565) and rackmount versions (RM565) were made.
The benchtop version has the following dimensions:
* Width: 17 inches
* Height: 13.5 inches
* Depth: 23.375 inches
* Weight: 67 pounds
The RM565 weighs 80 pounds.
