What is it?

The Tektronix 8562 was a microprocessor development system that was part of the 8540/8550/8560 series. It was the final upgraded variant of that line. The 8540/8550/8560 systems supported many 8-bit and 16-bit microprocessor types, with a change of emulator cards and probes, and installation of assembler and possibly compiler software. The 8540, of which several could be connected to the 8560, contained emulation hardware similar to that available for the 8550, including RAM cards, Trigger Trace Analyser, and 1 or 2 processor emulator cards, each with external probe.
