The 7934 makes extensive use of custom integrated circuits and hybrid circuits. With the exception of the on-screen readout circuit, the signal path is completely differential and all of the internal wiring is 50-ohm coax. | The 7934 makes extensive use of custom integrated circuits and hybrid circuits.

Many modes of operation are available on the 7934: Storage has normal, bi-stable (standard and "fast"), variable-persistence (standard and "fast") modes, as well as independently-switchable reduced-scan mode (to aid high-speed writing) and timed auto-erase. The mainframe has the usual analog ch1/ch2/alt/chop/add vertical-mode functions for the two vertical bays, though in the case of the 7934, the two channels are replaced by "left" and "right" to indicate that each mode will slave the vertical deflection to only that bay.

In addition, the mainframe provides synchronization signals to both vertical bays, which allows the same vertical-mode functions ''within'' each vertical bay plug-in (this is what enables the 7934 to show up to four channels). Both horizontal compartments are triggerable from either vertical compartment, through an internal signal path. | ||

The 7904 has a many modes of operation. One mode is called "Independent-Pairs Display" in the manual, where the input to the left vertical plug-in is displayed using the B horizontal timebase plug-in, and the input to the right vertical plug-in is displayed using the A horizontal timebase plug-in. This resembles the trace-slaving "ALT" mode that is produced by a 1A4 in a 547. | The 7904 has a many modes of operation.
