NOTES:

*Specifications (valid within ± 10° C of auto-calibration temperature, excluding bandwidth− see note 1 for bandwidth specification.)

1. Upper bandwidth reduces by 2.5 MHz for every degree C above 35° C. 0.35

3.Specification applies to the maximum sampling rate. At lower rates, the specification is:

± [(0.005% x Δt)+ (2 x 10-6x delay setting) + (0.15 x sample interval)] for bandwidth limited signals

(tr = 1.4 x sample interval). Sample interval is defined as sample rate

4.Vertical gain accuracy decreases 0.08% per degree C from software calibration temperature.

5.Digitizing level = (# vertical divisions)(12)(LSB1 ), where LSB= 2 # bits in ADC

6.The Time Interval Measurement Accuracy deteriorates across multiple modules connected as one unit with each added module.
