==Internals==
The S-1 uses a two-diode sampling gate which has relatively high "kick-out" (leakage of the strobe signal out of the input)
The manual cautions,
<blockquote>
Operating the sampling head without the input connector terminated by a 50 Ω resistor or coaxial
cable will cause a vertical shift of the zero signal baseline by a few millivolts. This is caused by the
strobe kickout signal being reflected from the open input connector, and arriving back at the sampling
bridge while the bridge is conducting.
</blockquote>
 
The sampling bridge strobe signal is generated by an [[avalanche transistor]] followed by a [[step recovery diode]], called snap-off diode in Tek lingo.
