The 7934 is a 500MHz [[CRT storage scope]] mainframe with four bays for [[7000-series plug-ins]] -- two vertical (left) and two horizontal (right).   
The 7934 is a 500MHz [[CRT storage scope]] multi-mode storage mainframe with four bays for [[7000-series plug-ins]] two vertical (left) and two horizontal (right).   
Performance and function is largely determined by the installed 7000-series plug-ins. 
Plug-ins have a wide variety of functions, including: current and voltage amplifiers,
time-bases, spectrum analyzers, sampling amplifiers and time-bases, logic analyzers, as well as a variety of miscellaneous plug-ins. 
The plug-in modules each use 1, 2 or 3 bays.  Storage is provided by variable persistence and bi-stable modes.
