2 Upgrading a Source for 8510XF
All 8360 series sources are compatible, but only the 83621A/B or 83651A/B
are recommended in order to insure full functionality of the 8510XF.
Table 2-1 shows the upgrade options required.
NOTE 83651/21A and 83650/20A/B will also work for upgraded 8510XF systems
as long as it has test port flatness correction modification or capability, rear
panel output (Option 004), and 1 Hz frequency resolution (Option 008)
installed.
