Technical Specifications
Specifications describe the instrument's warranted performance over the temperature range of 0°C to 40°C
(except as noted). Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide information that is useful in applying
the instrument by giving non-warranted performance parameters. These are denoted as SPC (supplemental
performance characteristics) , typical , or nominal . Warm up time must be greater than or equal to 30 minutes
after power on for all specifications.
