SERIAL NUMBER OF THE INSTRUMENT 

You can find the Serial Number on the upper side panel of the instrument. 
The Serial Number is in the form: 000XY00000. 
The  first  three  digits  and  the  two  letters  are  the  Serial  Number  prefix,  the last five 
digits are the Serial Number suffix. The prefix is the same for identical instruments, 
it changes only when a configuration change is made to the instrument. 
The suffix is different for each instrument
