The 8564E/8565E Adjustment/Diagnostic Software can be used to
adjust or troubleshoot ONLY an 8564EC or an 8565EC.

The tabular data printed at the end of the IF diagnostics program
(which contains the same text information as the graphics) is clearly

Other HP 9000 Series 300 controllers are compatible with the
adjustment/diagnostic software; however, the graph printouts might
not be full width. This is especially true with medium- and
high-resolution displays.
The 8564E/8565E Adjustment/Diagnostic Software requires at least
4 Megabytes of free memory.
