†
The software menu shows the 8340 as the synthesized sweeper, but it drives
the required 83650A (programming language set to "analyzer" mode).
‡
The software menu shows the 8566 as the spectrum analyzer, but it will drive the other three
spectrum analyzers listed. If an 8566 is used, it must be an 8566B, not 8566A.
§
Must have calibration factors down to 10 MHz; a standard 8487A is only calibrated down to 50 MHz.
