an X-input with three calibrated selectable deflection sensitivities: 0.1 V/cm, 1 V/cm, and 10 V/cm.


While the 545 has two non-calibrated X-input sensitivities, the 543 has an X input with calibrated deflection sensitivity of 0.1 V/cm, 1 V/cm, or 10 V/cm.
Total acceleration voltage on the CRT is 10 kV. The CRT power supply uses five [[5642]] HV tube diodes.
The standard CRT for the 543 is the [[T65]] with P2 [[phosphor]], part number 154-175.
The standard CRT for the 543 is the [[T65]] with P2 [[phosphor]], part number 154-175.
The standard CRT for the 543B is part number [[154-0478-00]], also known as the T5470-31-2.
The total acceleration voltage on the CRT is 10 kV. The CRT power supply uses five [[5642]] HV tube diodes.


The '''543B''' is a tube/transistor hybrid scope. The vertical amplifier has a [[6DJ8]] cathode follower stage followed by two transistor/tube cascode stages with a 186 Ω [[delay line]] inbetween.
