for using the instrument but that is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
This information is denoted as either typical or nominal.
Typical (typ.):
Expected performance of an average unit that does not include guardbands.
It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
Nominal (nom.):
A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance.
It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
