==Specifications==
{{BeginSpecs}}
The vertical characteristics are mostly determined by the vertical plug-ins
{{Spec|Bandwidth|up to 10 MHz  determined by vertical plug-ins}}
 
{{Spec|Sweep|1 μs/div to 5 s/Div, 1−2−5, ×10 magnifier, and variable }}
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.
{{Spec|Sweep delay| 10 μs to 50 seconds}}
 
{{Spec|Power|600 W max. including plug-ins}}
Power consumption, including plug-ins, is about 600 watts, maximum.
{{Spec|Calibrator|1 kHz square wave, 1 mV to 100 V in decade steps}}
 
{{Spec|CRT| [[T5650]], cathode at −3.9 kV, no post-deflection acceleration}}
The internal calibrator produces a 1 kHz square wave with amplitude selectable in decade steps from 1 mV to 100 V.
