Appendix A: Specifications
This section contains the specifications for the DDS200 Digital Demodulation
System. All specifications are guaranteed unless labeled “typical.” Typical
specifications are provided for your convenience and are not guaranteed.
Specifications labeled with the n symbol are checked in the Performance Test
(PT) procedure in the service manual.
NOTE. Performance requirements are valid provided that the instruments are
operating within environmental parameters and have warmed up for at least one
hour.
