The ESA family of spectrum analyzers have proven
and guaranteed performance with the flexibility to
select the right level of functionality for your test
needs. Take advantage of the best overall performance on a mid-performance spectrum analyzer.

Definitions and Conditions
The distinction between specifications and
characteristics is described as follows.
• Specifications describe the performance of
parameters covered by the product warranty.
(The temperature range is 0 °C to 55 °C, unless
otherwise noted.)
• Characteristics describe product performance that
is useful in the application of the product, but is
not covered by the product warranty.
• Typical performance describes additional product
performance information that is not covered by the
product warranty. It is performance beyond
specification that 80% of the units exhibit with
a 95% confidence level over the temperature range
20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include
measurement uncertainty.
• Nominal values indicate the expected performance,
or describe product performance that is useful in
the application of the product, but is not covered
by the product warranty.
• N/A (not applicable) - Not specified for this
configuration
The following conditions must be met for the analyzer
to meet its specifications.
• The analyzer is within the one year calibration
cycle.
• If Auto Align All is selected:
• After 2 hours of storage within the operating
temperature range.
• 5 minutes after the analyzer is turned on with
sweep times less than 4 seconds.
• If Auto Align Off is selected:
• When the analyzer is at a constant temperature,
within the operating temperature range, for a
minimum of 90 minutes.
• After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum
of 90 minutes and Align Now All has been run.
• When Align Now All is run:
• Every hour
• If the ambient temperature changes more
than 3 °C
• If the 10 MHz reference changes
• If Auto Align All but RF is selected:
• When the analyzer is at a constant temperature,
within the operating temperature range, for a
minimum of 90 minutes.
• After the analyzer is turned on for a minimum
of 90 minutes and Align Now RF has been run.
• When Align Now RF is run:
• Every hour
• If the ambient temperature changes more
than 3 °C
