I recently got in a 53132A with what I think is fairly early firmware (it's tied up doing some measurements right now so I can't check the version number). All the photos of the 53132A that I have seen show it with commas separating groups of 3 digits after the decimal point. Mine does not do this. Is there a menu option for enabling the commas (not the option for swapping commas and decimal poimts) or was this feature added in a later firmware revision?

Mark, It should be in the hidden "Utility menu" which you access by holding Recall during power-up. Not sure what you mean by enabling commas vs. swapping commas. For more details see page 2-57 when you google: 53132a user manual or look for hp / Agilent / Keysight document 53131-90055. /tvb ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mark Sims" <holrum@hotmail.com> To: <time-nuts@febo.com> Sent: Monday, July 03, 2017 10:52 PM Subject: [time-nuts] Question about HP-53132A decimal display >I recently got in a 53132A with what I think is fairly early firmware (it's tied up doing some measurements right now so I can't check the version number).

I think he wants to point out, that he doesn't mean the menu option, where you swap the american decimal point with the european (German?) decimal comma... Am 5.
