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.
