Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by
the product warranty and apply over
0 to 55 °C unless otherwise noted.
Typical describes additional product
performance information that is not
covered by the product warranty. It is
performance beyond specifications
that 80 percent of the units exhibit
with a 95 percent confidence level
over the temperature range 20 to
30 °C. Typical performance does not
include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal values indicate expected
performance, or describe product
performance that is useful in the
application of the product, but is not
covered by the product warranty.
The analyzer will meet its specifications when:
• stored a minimum of two hours
within the operating temperature
range and turned on for at least
30 minutes with Auto Align On
selected.
• the instrument is within its one
year calibration cycle.
• Align All Now has been performed
within the past 24 hours or when
the temperature changes 3 °C.
• the instrument is under auto
couple control, except that Auto
Sweep Time = Accy.
• DC coupling applied if center
frequency is < 20 MHz.
