7 Key Questions to Consider in Migration from 856x 1. Form Factor Physical size? Class 3 MIL Rugged? 2. Hardware Functionality Did you use the Tracking Generator Internal for 8560A/E/EC OPT 002? External 85640A? Did you use External Mixing? Did you use the VIDEO output (standard)? Why? Did you use the second IF output (OPT 001)? Why? Did you used the SWEEP output (standard)? Why? 3. Hardware Performance Phase Noise Performance? Other? 4. Backward Code Compatibility and Applications Coverage Is the 856x in an automated environment? Were you using the Phase Noise Personality (85671A)? Were you using the Spurious Measurements Personality (85672A)? 5. Additional Features Security Clearing Procedures? Calibration Cycle and Cost of Ownership?
