Before any Agilent Technologies’ signal generator is introduced, specifications are set to assure that the product will perform consistently for your application. The specification setting process is reflective of the quality that Agilent has always strived to deliver. An explanation of Agilent’s specification setting process will show the confidence that you can have when selecting an Agilent Technologies signal generator.
The model used for specification setting is illustrated in the above right figure. The following text defines each element in the figure.
• Production margin is the difference between the average product perform­ance and the Test Line Limit (TLL). This TLL is the pass/fail limit used by the production line at final test under standard environmental conditions.
• Delta environmental represents the possible change in performance over the environmental extremes (e.g., temperature and humidity).
Average TLL SPEC
• Drift represents the change in perform­ance over the calibration period.
• Measurement uncertainty accounts for possible measurement errors in the equipment used to characterize the signal generator.
• Customer guardband represents any additional margin necessary to ensure a worst case scenario.
This process means that whether the signal generator is placed in a high temperature environment such as at the top of a rack of equipment or a well controlled environment, the performance stated in our specifications can be relied on for your most exacting applications. This process guarantees that the signal generator is introducing the minimum error possible in the measure­ments you are performing.
(warranted)
Typical performance
Since some applications push the limits of specifications, Agilent Technologies also provides data that indicates typical performance. This typical performance is generally set at the Test Line Limit (TLL), which is significantly better than the war­ranted specification. Use the typical data when comparing different products, or when your application pushes the limit on a given specification. The following information highlights typical performance for the most common areas of interest for the 8643A, 8644B, 8664A and 8665A/B.
