Table 2: Time base system speciﬁcations (cont.)

Characteristic Description

Delta-time measurement accuracy

The formula to calculate the delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is given in the following table. (See Table 3.) The formula assumes insigniﬁcant signal content above Nyquist and insigniﬁcant error due to aliasing. The abbreviations used in the formula are as follows:

= slew rate around 1st point in measurement (1stedge)

= slew rate around 2nd point in measurement (2ndedge)

N = input-referred noise (V speciﬁcations.)

TBA = time base accuracy (±1.6x 10 models without option SA3 or SA6)(RefertoReference Frequency Error (Cumulative) speciﬁcations.)

= delta-time measurement duration (sec)

RD = (record length)/(sample rate)

= 1/(sample rate)

assume edge shape that results from Gaussian ﬁlter response

The term under the squareroot sign is the stability and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The errors due to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the time base and varies between multiple single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the ﬁrst single-shot measurement to the ﬁnal single-shot measurement).
