Specifications
The technical specications are valid when the instrument is within the calibration period, is stored for at least two hours in 0℃ to 50℃
temperature and is warmed up for 40 minutes. Unless otherwise noted, the specifications in this manual include the measurement
uncertainty.
Typical Value (typ.): the typical performance that 80 percent of the measurement results can meet at room temperature (approximately
25℃). This data is not warranted and does not include the measurement uncertainty.
Nominal Value (nom.): the expected average performance or the designed performance attribute, such as the 50 Ω connector. This
data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately 25℃).
Measured Value (meas.): the performance attribute measured during the design phase used to be compared with the expected
performance, such as the variation of the amplitude drift with time. This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature
(approximately 25℃).
Note: Unless otherwise noted, all the values in this manual are the measurement results of multiple instruments at room temperature.
