[volt-nuts] Old HP3458A - SN: 2823A 03939

[J. L. Trantham]

Not in front of my meter right now but IIRC, 'Blue Key' (shift), 'R', 'Down Arrow' until you find Rev? then hit enter.  It will return something like 7,1 or 8,2 etc.

The first digit is the master processor firmware version and the second number is the slave processor firmware version.  The master processor firmware is located on the A5 Board, the Outguard Controller.  I'm not sure where the slave processor firmware is located.  9,2 is the latest AFAIK.  I've heard that there is not much difference between 8 and 9.

I don't know how to check for the Service Note Compliance.  Would probably have to read each note then explore the meter to see what is installed.

Good luck.

Joe

I'm looking for a 3458A , and have found one : SN: 2823A 03939 w. opt 002 Seller says it's passing selftest.

But it's an old serial# , is there any way one can verify that it has an up-to date firmware , and maybe via that see if it has has all the needed upgrades or ServiceNotes applied ?

TIA
