I found some informatyion on the probes tucked into the back of the 16510A
documentation,
and this statement may not be correct. It's possible that the probes may
decode some
states in hardware, and that the IAs may depend on this decoding. But it's
not 100%
clear in the documentation.
I checked the description in the HP catalog and it implies the same thing but it's
not clear about it. I've run across a few pods, I should grab one and open it up and
see it there's anything inside. Another thing to add to the "To Do" list!
