Well, it would need Agilent's permission of course - someone there would need to

agree to it, and someone put it on the web site. That is probably no easy task
in a company like Agilent. At the time I created that PDF, someone was employed
by Agilent who was getting manuals together to put on the site. I suspect he has

moved on to other things, and so it might be very difficult to get a copy
replaced. But if there is universal agreement it's better, then it should be
replaced.

It seems a bit pointless Agilent making available the copy I created, if a
better one exists.

I only had an A4 scanner, so the circuit diagrams were like a jigsaw, but at the

time it was the only PDF available.

Nice scan, thanks!  Same edition as David Kirkby's earlier scan, but with

full-page foldouts.  This one goes on the iPad for sure.

The 5370B manual on the Agilent web site is a downsampled version of
the one I produced. From what I gather, Roberto's done a better job
than me, so it would be worth trying to get the one on the Agilent web
site changed. I would certainly not feel insulted.
