The other mad Tek technology are the Transient Digitzers - the 7912 series, culminating in the 7912HB. These have internally a long, cylindrical CRT-type device. It has a diode array in the middle, and a fast electron scan that represents the signal and writes charge onto the diodes. Then a readout beam raster scans the stored charge in a TV mode.
It is packed full of leading edge 80's tech - including ECL and bit-slice processors. Of course the record length is ridiculously small as compared with today's digital scopes, but that is not the point - the whole signal chain around the cylindrical internal CRT is analogue. It generates composite and component monochrome video,
And you can display the signal on your (old) 32" TV
