Specications
Frequency
Specifications are valid under the following conditions: the instrument in the calibration cycle is stored at least two hours at 0°C to 50°C
temperature, and 40 minutes warm up. The specications include measurement uncertainty. Data represented in this manual are specications
unless otherwise noted.
Typical (typ.): describes characteristic performance, which 80 percent of the measurement results will meet at room temperature
(approximately 25 °C). This data is not warranted, does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal (nom.): indicates the expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose performance is by design,
such as the 50Ω connector. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
Measured (meas.): describes an attribute measured during the design phase for purposes of communicating expected performance,
such as amplitude drift vs. time. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
NOTE: All charts represented in this manual are the measurement results of multiple instruments at room temperature unless otherwise noted.
