The Type 544 is a 50 MHz scope [[introduced in 1964]].  It has one timebase.
The timebase has several horizontal magnifier modes: x2, x5, x10, x20, x50, and x100.
To make horizontal magnification usable, the 544 has a vernier horizontal position control in addition to the  
regular horizontal position control.

The fastest calibrated sweep is 10ns/div.

Some magnification modes provide sweeps faster than 10 ns/div, but in those modes the horizontal scale is not calibrated, and a lamp on the front panel lights up to remind the operator of that.

The 544 (at least the early ones) uses the same
[[tunnel diodes|tunnel diode]] triggering circuit
as is used in early [[547]]
(tunnel diode in the collector load of a PNP differential amplifier).

as is used in early [[547]] (tunnel diode in the collector load of a PNP differential amplifier).  
The 1968 catalog lists an RM544 Mod 720
which has a direct-access plug-in and has 1ns risetime.

The 1968 catalog lists an RM544 Mod 720 which has a direct-access plug-in and has 1ns risetime.
The 544 uses the [[154-0478-00]] CRT which is also used by the
[[543|543B]], [[545|545B]], [[546]], and [[547]].
