Specifications
Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance over the temperature range 0° to 55°C (except where
noted). Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide information useful in applying the instrument by giving
typical but non-warranted performance parameters. These are denoted as “typical,” “nominal,” or “approximately.”

1. Specifications apply for low harmonic sources only. The standard 8340B/8341B and the 8673B/G/H also provide the same source capabilities except the spurious output of the
modules is at 0 dBc.
