Serial Number
Hewlett-Packard uses a two-section, nine character serial number
which is stamp ed on the serial numb er plate (Figure 9-1) attached
to the instrument's rear panel. The rst four digits and a letter are
the serial number prex, and the last ve digits are the sux. The
letter placed b etween the two sections identies the country where
the instrumentwas manufactured. The prex is the same for all
identical instruments; it changes only when a change is made to the
instrument. The sux, however, is assigned sequentially and is
dierent for each instrument. The contents of this manual apply to
instruments with the serial number prex(es) listed under the serial
numbers on the title page.
