Used TEKTRONIX 370 #130891 for sale

TEKTRONIX 370 is a former mainframe computer and test equipment equipment from TEKTRONIX Corporation. It was introduced in 1967 and was in production until 1978. It was one of the first commercially available systems to use integrated circuit technology. It primarily served as a test equipment system, though many used it as a computer unit. 370 was constructed with a modular design and consists of two racks of electronic components. Each rack is approximately 5 feet high and consists of a number of vertical slots, each containing a circuit board called a "module." The modules were interchangeable and could be swapped out to upgrade the machine or to repair it. The modules were very reliable and could be easily replaced. The racks could be configured in a number of different ways, allowing them to be used for multiple purposes. TEKTRONIX 370 tool was composed of three main modules. The first module was the "power supply module", which provided the power required by the other modules. The second module was the "central processing unit (CPU) module", which was the brains of the asset and acted as an interpreter for the instruction sets presented by the external user, controlling the model's operations. The third module was the "channel adapter module", which acted as an interface between the central processing unit and peripheral devices. The equipment had two main memory types, read-only memory and read/write memory. The read-only memory (ROM) housed the main operating system and software programs. The read/write memory (RAM) allowed the user to store temporary information and results. 370 was capable of inputting and outputting data to and from external devices, such as printers, plotters, tape drives, and oscilloscopes. It also allowed for the upgrading of unit components such as the CPU and memory, as well as the addition of other peripheral devices. Overall, TEKTRONIX 370 was a reliable machine that could be used for a variety of purposes, such as testing equipment and other scientific and engineering applications. Its modular design and flexibility made it very popular in its day and it continues to be used in some applications today.
