Instrument Identification
The instrument is identified by the serial number on the rear panel.
Agilent uses a two-part serial number with the first part (prefix)
identifying a series of instruments and the second part (suffix) identifying
a particular instrument within a series. Agilent-assigned alpha characters
before the prefix identify the country in which the instrument was
manufactured.
Instruments Covered by this Guide
This guide applies directly to Agilent 53150A, 53151A, and 53152A
Counters that have the same serial number prefix(es) shown on the title
page. If the serial number prefix of your Counter differs from that listed
on the title page of this guide, there may be differences between this guide
and your instrument.
Instruments having a higher serial prefix are covered (when required) by
one or more manual-change sheets included with this guide. If a required
change sheet is missing, contact your nearest Agilent Sales Office listed at
the back of this guide.
