Dear Colleagues,
On this topic I also wanted to ask you if you know whether the matter of having/not having options e.g. 010 or 011 (in case of 8510C/8530A) is only a matter of having/not having a PAL security chip in the socket? So, is the operating system the same regardless of any options (so internally has support for all options already built in but not available if there is no security chip)? Below is document showing how to upgrade 8530A to opt 010 (time domain) and it looks like only security key is required: https://www.keysight.com/us/en/assets/9018-05077/installation-guides/9018-05077.pdf

Do you know what is the latest operating system revision for 8530A - from what we have on the forum and what is mentioned on the Kesight website, it is A.01.66, but I saw information that 8530A is only available for CRT units (2nd box from the up: Antenna 08530-80004 CRT Only): https://kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/Support/vector-network-analyzers/HP-Agilent-Keysight/8510/8510C_Installation_Pre_Flight_checkout.pdf

Here: https://www.ebay.com/itm/326343133737 you can see that 8530A software is running on 85101C with LCD, so I wonder if there was a newer version of the system than A.01.66 or maybe this version can be also run on the LCD version?
?
Thanks,
Wojciech
