Upgrading an 8360 Source
Upgrading an 8360 Source
All 8360 series instruments are compatible, but not all allow use of quick-step, test-port
power flatness correction, receiver calibration, and power domain functions without
upgrading them. Refer to Table 2-1 for upgrades required for these functions.
8510C revision C.07.00 or greater firmware requires use of an 8360 series source for
complete compatibility. Revision C.06.xx firmware does not support receiver calibration or
power domain functions.
