The performance limits in this specification are valid within the following conditions:
The SignalVu-PC software version is 3.7.0114 or greater.
Operate the instrument in an environment that meets the temperature, altitude, and humidity characteristics listed in
these specifications.
The instrument must have been operating for a warm-up period of at least for 30 minutes (after being connected to the
PC, starting the SignalVu-PC application, and SignalVu-PC is connected to the RSA306B instrument and continuously
