Instrument Specication
Specications are the performance characteristics of the instrument which are certied. These specications, listed in Appendix C, are the performance standards or limits against which the HP 81531A can be tested. Appendix C also lists some supplemental characteristics of the HP 81531A. Supplemental characteristics should be considered as additional information.
Any changes in the specications due to manufacturing changes, design, or traceability to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), will be covered in a manual change supplement, or revised manual. Such specications supercede any that were previously published.
