The following tables list the specifications for the Tektronix WFM6100,
WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitors with Option FP installed. Items
listed in the Performance Requirement column are generally quantitative, and
can be tested by the Performance Verification procedure in Section 2 of this
manual. Items listed in the Reference Information column are useful operating
parameters that have typical values; information in this column is not guaranteed.
The specifications listed in the Electrical Specifications portion of these tables
apply over an ambient temperature range of +0 _Cto+40_C. The rated
accuracies are valid when the instrument is calibrated in an ambient temperature
range of +20 _Cto+30_C.
Most of the error seen on the display
comes from the inherent ringing in the
digital data. The response of the monitor is
close to the theoretical limit of a perfect
sinx/x reconstruction filter.

A sine-squared pulse near Nyquist is not
band-limited and so inherently has ringing
much larger than the waveform monitor filter.
A three term Blackman pulse with the same
HAD has much less inherent ringing, so it is
a better choice for most testing. See Digital
