2 Peak residuals must be accounted for in peak readings.
4 For optimum flatness, cables should be terminated with their
characteristic impedance.
5 For peak measurements only, AM accuracy may be affected by
distortion generated by the modulation analyzer. In the worst
case this can decrease accuracy by 0.1% of reading for each 0.1%
