Key Questions to Consider in Migration from 856 x 1. Form Factor – Physical size? – Class 3 MIL Rugged? 2. Hardware Functionality – Did you use the Tracking Generator • • – – Internal for 8560 A/E/EC – OPT 002? External – 85640 A? 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 856 x in an automated environment? – Were you using the Phase Noise Personality (85671 A)? – Were you using the Spurious Measurements Personality (85672 A)? 5. Additional Features – Security Clearing Procedures? – Calibration Cycle and Cost of Ownership?
