Compatibility

If you are upgrading from the HP 16532A, the following compatibility
issues should be noted:

•

If an HP 16532A file is loaded into an HP 16533/34A, the
HP 16533/34A will set up identically. However, the HP 16532A data
will not be read or displayed.

•

The HP 16532A cannot load files that were stored from an
HP 16533/34A.

•

You cannot mix HP 16532A and HP 16533/34A cards in a multi-card
module.
