I am a newbie to spectrum analyzers and the 8560E. I acquired one of these instruments a few months ago as a learning aid re SAs. I have previously reported here a problem with non-uniform brightness of some alphanumeric characters, so wont cover that ground again. I have spent considerable time on this forum reviewing posts concerning firmware and processor upgrades, including downloading various Agilent/HP documents via links provided here. I am somewhat convinced by this effort that my instrument has the latest available firmware revision (and therefore the 16 MHz processor). Can someone here confirm this?
SN:? 3943A04625
ROM VERSION:? 990108
From this info I am also assuming this instrument was manufactured in 1999 or later.
Thanks for any guidance.
