Re: HP 3852A firmware update issue
If it is known that V4.22 has a mix of 256's and 512's,
and they are being replaced by all 512's (some doubled),
then I think a non zebra answer is evident.

Re: 3457A carbon composite resistors in signal path?
Well, I lifted one leg of each resistor, let them cool to ambient and measured the resistance.
Here's what I got. (They are 5% resistors).

Re: 3457A carbon composite resistors in signal path?
The resistors are in a high impedance part of the circuit so the absolute value will not affect the accuracy of the readings.
