Specifications
Specification
Specifications describe the performance parameters covered by the product
warranty and apply over 20 to 30 °C unless otherwise noted. Warranted
specifications include measurement uncertainty calculated with a 95 percent
confidence. Data represented in this document are specifications unless
otherwise noted.
Typical
Represents characteristic performance, which 80 percent of the instruments
manufactured will meet. This data, shown in italics, is not warranted, does not
include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature
(approximately 25 °C).
Nominal
The expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose performance
is by design, such as the 50 Ω connector. This data is not warranted and is
measured at room temperature (approximately 25 °C).
The test set will meet its specification when:
• The test set is within its calibration cycle
• The test set is within the temperature range 20 to 30 °C
• The test set has been turned on for at least 45 minutes
