MX Series 17
1.3 Different Model Series
There are two versions of the MX Series product, Series I and Series II. This user
manual covers both MX model series with top level assembly part numbers 7003-
400 (Series I) and 7003-422 (Series II). The difference between the Series I and
the Series II is the controller used. The Series II uses a newer controller design but
retains backward compatibility with the Series I products. The part number is shown
on the model / serial number tag on the back of the MX series. All Series II will have
a firmware revision of 4.0 or higher. The firmware revision is displayed briefly at
power up on the LCD display and can also be queried over the bus by using the
*IDN? command.
Differences between the two-model series are restricted to:
• Reduced number of measurement calibration coefficients on Series
II.
• Increased measurement sampling rate on Series II.
• Maximum DC offset range in AC+DC mode is 250Vdc on Series I,
220Vdc on Series II
Where relevant, differences are highlighted throughout the user manual.
