+The Tektronix Type 3S1 is a dual-trace [[sampling_oscilloscope|sampling]] plug-in for [[560-series scopes]].  The risetime is 350ps.

+In contrast to modular sampling plug-ins like the [[3S2]], the 3S1 has built-in sampling heads.  The signal enters through [[Connectors#GR-874|GR-874 connectors]] on the front panel.  Each channel has a resistive trigger pickoff followed by a 55ns coaxial [[delay line]].  Following the delay line is a compensation circuit designed to (partially) undo the

-The 3S1 is similar to the [[4S1]], but more compact.
