About this edition

December 2002: This edition documents the transition from the Agilent E1439A to the

Agilent E1439C and from the Agilent E1439B to the Agilent E1439D. The A and B models will become obsolete. The Agilent E1439C has no local bus capability.

April 2001: This edition documents the new fiber optic interface on the Agilent E1439B. In addition, this edition documents the new external TTL trigger on all Agilent E1439B modules and on Agilent E1439A modules with a serial number greater than US41140000.
