The '''Tektronix Type 541''' is a 30 MHz* oscilloscope that accepts [[letter-series and 1-series plug-ins]]. | |||

For example, the 541 required the operator to set two rotary switches to get | |||
the desired sweep time/div . | |||
The 541A replaced the two-switch design with a many-position rotary switch. | |||
This was also the case with setting the calibrator amplitude, | |||
which involved two switches on the 541 and one switch on the 541A. | |||
The 541's CRT is part number [[154-098]], also known as the T54. | The 541's CRT is part number [[154-098]], also known as the T54. | ||

There is a rackmount version, Type RM41. | |||
There is also a 541-S7 version, which has single-sweep mode. | |||
A new probe, the [[P410|P400 Series]], was created for the 541/545, because the 10 MHz [[P510|P510A]] rings on fast signals. | |||
