✓Delta-time measurement accuracy

The formula to calculate delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input signal is as follows (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist frequency):

SR 1 = Slew Rate (1st Edge) around 1st point in measurement

SR 2 = Slew Rate (2nd Edge) around 2nd point in measurement

N = input-referred guaranteed noise limit (V

TBA = timebase accuracy or Reference Frequency Error

t p = delta-time measurement duration (sec)

(assume edge shape that results from Gaussian filter response)

DTApp(typical) = 10 ×

DTA

RMS

The term under the square root 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 timebase 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).
