Specifications
This chapter contains specifications for the MDO4000 Series oscilloscopes. All
specifications are guaranteed unless noted as "typical." Typical specifications are
provided for
marked with the
your convenience but are not guaranteed. Specifications that are
symbol are checked in Performance Verification.
All specific
ations apply to all MDO4000 models unless noted otherwise. To meet
specifications, two conditions must first be met:
The oscill
oscope must have been operating continuously for twenty minutes
within the specified operating temperature range. (See Table 12 on page 23.)
You m us t p
erform the Signal Path Compensation (SPC) operation d escribed
instep2oftheSelf Test before evaluating specifications. (Se e page 62, SelfTest.) If the operating temperature changes by more than 10 °C (18 °F), you
must perform the SPC operation again.

easurement
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)
1
= slew rate around 2nd point in measurement (2ndedge)

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 fi nal single-shot measurement).

NOTE. If the specific measurement frequency results in measuring a residual spur
that is visible above the noise level, the DANL specification applies not to the
spur but to the noise level on either side of the spur. Please refer to the Spurious
