upgrade. The 85103F performance upgrade package comes with prepaid
installation. Refer to
service engineer to install the upgrade package.
Warranty Information
Installation of an upgrade does not affect the existing instrument warranty in any way.
Specifically, it does not extend the current instrument warranty. Any parts supplied in an
upgrade package carry a 90-day replacement-part warranty.
Source Compatibility
For complete compatibility with revision C.07.00 or greater firmware, your source must be
an Agilent 8360 series source. If an 8360 series source is not used, power domain and
receiver calibration functions will not work.
The 8510C works with all 8360 synthesized sweeper models. However, some 8360
instruments must be upgraded to take advantage of two 8510C system features (quick step
mode and test port power flatness correction). Refer to
page
16.
NOTE
Agilent 8340, 8341, and 8350 series sources are out of support life and
are no longer recommended for use in 8510C systems.
Please consult with your Agilent customer engineer for more information on upgrading a
network analyzer and source firmware.
