Warranted performance. All specifications apply at 23 ºC (± 5 ºC), unless otherwise stated, and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on. Specifications include guard bands to account for the expected statistical performance distribution,
measurement uncertainties, and changes in performance due to environmental conditions.
Typical (typ.):
