Units Covered By This Operation Note
Keysight uses a two-part, nine character serial number which is stamped on
the serial number plate attached to the probe. The first four digits and a letter
are the prefix and the last five digits are the suffix of the serial number. The
letter in the serial number identifies the country where the instrument was
manufactured. The prefix is same for all identical instruments, it changes only
when a change is made to the instrument. The suffix, however, is assigned
sequentially and is different for each instrument. This operation note applies to
instruments with serial number prefixes listed under Serial Numbers on the
title page.
Units manufactured after this operation note was printed may have a serial
number prefix which is not listed on the title page. An unlisted serial number
prefix indicates that the instrument may be different from those described in
this operation note. Operation notes for new instruments may be accompanied
by a yellow Manual Supplement page, or have a different part number. This
supplement contains “Change Information” explaining how to adapt this
operation note to newer instruments.
In addition to change information, the supplement may contain information for
correcting errors (Errata) in previous operation notes. To keep this operation
note as current and accurate as possible, Keysight recommends that you
periodically request the latest Manual Change supplements. The supplement
for this operation note is identified by the Print Date and Part Number, both of
which appear on the operation note's title page.
For information concerning the serial number prefixes not listed on the title
page or in the Manual Change supplements, contact your nearest Keysight
sales office.
