Oscilloscopes manufactured after the date this manual was released may be different from those
described in this manual. The release date of this manual is shown on the title page. This manual
will be revised as needed (when significant changes occur).
If you have an oscilloscope that was manufactured after the release of this manual, please check
the Agilent Technologies website at www.agilent.com to see whether a newer version of this
manual is available. You can perform a search for your oscilloscope’s model number, go to its
product page, and select Library.
Year of Manufacture
You can determine the year the oscilloscope was manufactured by examining the serial number
label that is affixed to the rear panel of the oscilloscope. The serial number is composed of two
parts. The first part contains two letters and two numbers that signify the oscilloscope’s county
of origin and year date code. A year date code of “05” indicates that the oscilloscope was
manufactured in 2005. The second part of the serial number contains a rolling number that is
different for each oscilloscope.
