The plugins are not compatible with other Tektronix lines such as oscilloscopes. The 5000 series added a [[GPIB interface]] on the mainframe to control intelligent plugins. 500 series modules work in 5000 series mainframes but not necessarily vice versa (see ref. below). | ||
In addition to the modules that appeared in Tek catalogs over the years, there were probably a hundred or more that Tektronix designed and used in-house on their production lines for test and calibration of their products. These in-house units usually have an 067-xxxx-xx number. | In addition to the modules that appeared in Tek catalogs over the years, there were probably a hundred or more that Tektronix designed and used in-house on their production lines for test and calibration of their products.
