317

Manuals – Specifications – Links – Pictures

The Tektronix 317, introduced in 1959, is a monolithic 10 MHz scope similar to the 316, but with higher acceleration voltage (9 kV versus 1.8 kV) on the CRT. It was intended for use where a bright display is needed. There is also a rackmount version, the RM17.

The 317 initially used UHF connectors for the signal input and calibrator output; later units use BNC connectors.

Type 317 Mod 101 operates on 50 to 400 Hz power and uses a DC fan motor.
