The [[11B2A]] is similar to the [[11B2]] dual time base, but triggers up to 100 MHz.

In addition, Tek introduced the [[10A1]] differential amplifier.

The maximum bandwidth of the 10A1 is 55 MHz for sensitivities of 5 mV/div and higher.

In total, only 4 plug-ins were developed for the 647 series – the generic dual trace vertical,

a differential vertical, and a single and a dual time base.
