The Tektronix 5441 is a 60 MHz CRT storage oscilloscope mainframe engineered for single-shot and transient signal capture with variable persistence display. This direct-view storage instrument accepts up to three 5000-Series plug-ins—two vertical channels and one horizontal timebase—enabling flexible vertical/horizontal and X-Y measurement configurations. The 8 x 10 division graticule (0.9 cm/division) with P31 phosphor and 8.5 kV acceleration voltage delivers stable, readable traces. Variable persistence extends viewing time from sub-second to over 5 minutes; save mode maintains reduced-intensity display for up to one hour, ideal for analyzing low-repetition-rate phenomena.
Technical Specifications

– Key Features
• Variable persistence and save modes for extended signal observation
• CRT readout displays alphanumeric plug-in control information and deflection factors
• Three 5000-Series plug-in compartments support mixed vertical/horizontal or X-Y configurations
• Single-shot and low-repetition-rate event capture
• External intensity input accepts time markers for direct temporal reference
– Compatibility & Integration
All 5000-Series plug-ins operate in any compartment. Two vertical amplifiers with one timebase, or single amplifier with timebase, are standard configurations; a second amplifier is optional. X-Y performance requires an amplifier in the horizontal compartment.
