Default Re: Oscilloscope bandwidth

The 7104 is the 1GHz scope you are thinking of, with an electron multiplier in the CRT so you can see a single shot at 200ps per division in strong sunlight.

Their fastest analogue storage scopes were 500MHz, and could write at 8,800 divisions per microsecond in fastest storage mode (the 7934).

That is not counting the 7912HB transient digitizer, which would store single shots at 750MHz bandwidth using an astonishing internal double ended CRT with a diode array in the middle, and pull the stored traces off via GPIB.

The 7000 series was introduced in 1968 and ran for 20 years plus.
