1. At the time of manufacture, the hardware related to many of these options was fully adjusted and the option performance was verified to be within its warranted specifications. Within two years of the initial calibration date of the analyzer, this option is fully calibrated with no further adjustment or verification testing.
2. If this analyzer has been adjusted as part of a repair or calibration during its two years, or if the analyzer is more than two years old, additional adjustment and performance verification tests are required to ensure that some newly installed options are functioning properly. However, the completion of these tests does not guarantee that the analyzer meets all warranted specifications.

Note: It is recommended to order measurement applications with the model numbers listed at Step 12. Alternatively, you can use the ordering numbers in this table to add the measurement applications. The last two letters of the ordering numbers indicate the license type--FP stands for fixed perpetual, TP for transportable perpetual; it is recommended that you configure each application with the same license type; visit www.keysight.com/find/X-Series_transportable for more information about transportable licenses
