The First Storage Oscilloscope
In the early 1960s, oscilloscopes had no memory: a transient signal appeared once and vanished forever, unless captured with slow phosphors, special cameras, or mechanical tracers. Everything changed with the Tektronix Type 564, the first practical storage oscilloscope.
Introduced within the new modular 560 Series, it brought a radical idea—an electronic trace that could be written, held, and examined without film or delay. This breakthrough transformed measurement techniques and opened the door to new applications, from industrial diagnostics to early medical ultrasound.
This book presents the origins of the 560 Series, describes the Type 564 and 564B oscilloscopes, and four of the most relevant plug-ins (3A1, 3A6, 3B3 and 3B4.)
