The Tektronix 567 is a [[sampling oscilloscope]] made by Tektronix in
The '''Tektronix 567''' is a [[sampling oscilloscope]] mainframe [[introduced in 1962]].   
the mid 1960's, first sold in [[introduced_in_1962|1962]]. 
It has a digital plug-in unit, the [[6R1]] or [[6R1A]], that can be used to measure
waveform characteristics such as rise time.  This digital unit provides a go/no-go output
based on waveform characteristics.  This feature makes the 567 particularly useful in
production testing for tasks such as binning logic gates based on their speed.   


The 567 came after the [[661]] and before the [[568]] and its associated [[230]] Digital Unit.

According to [[Stan Griffiths]],
The development of the 567 (and 6R1) was led by [[Sam McCutcheon]].
<blockquote>
It looks like there were two different serial number runs of 567's.

in that configuration it provides only the functionality that a [[561]] provides.
 
The [[6R1]] and [[6R1A]] digital units have several different operating modes. 
These modes can be classified as time measurement or voltage measurement. 
One time measurement mode, for example, shows the time delay between the rising pulse edge on input A and the falling pulse edge on input B. 
This is useful for measuring the speed of a logic gate such as an inverter. 
One of the voltage measurement modes displays the difference between the input A voltage at on time and the input A voltage at some other time. 
This is useful for measuring the peak-to-peak amplitude of a signal.
