Specifications
Specifications describe the instruments’ warranted performance over the 0° C to + 55° C temperature range
after a one-hour warm-up period. Characteristics provide information about non-warranted instrument
performance. Specifications are given in normal type. Characteristics are stated in italicized type. Spliced fiber
pigtail interfaces are assumed for all cases except where stated otherwise.
