The various versions of 10811 have part numbers
of the form 10811-6XXXX. There are a few dozen
varieties. I've never heard of "series 3010" in reference
to 10811's.

you cannot retrofit a 10811 to a 5334, because you need an
extra PC board. This board is required to be able to put
the 10811 on its side, because there isn't enough height for
it.

The gray market in used HP/Agilent test equipment is
really hurting Agilent in some products. My old division no
longer exists. I now work at Agilent Labs.

Rick,

The 10811 that I have has a decal on it that reads "upgraded to series
3010". Do you know what that means?

thanks,

Possibly it refers to a production change that took place in the 10th
week of 1990 (=60 + 30), in HP date code.
