Technical Specifi cations
These specifi cations apply to an E6601A mainframe and the
E6890A General Purpose Application fi rmware revision A.04 or
higher. Specifi cations describe the test set’s warranted perfor-
mance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the
last self alignment. All specifi cations are valid after a 30-minute
warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self-alignment
unless otherwise noted. If the instrument has been off for longer
than 48 hours, a 48-hour warm-up period followed by self-align-
ment is required.
Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but
non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in
applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics
and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet
these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without
including measurement uncertainty.
