1. DC coupling required to meet specifications below 50 MHz. With AC coupling, specifications apply at frequencies of 50 MHz and higher. Statistical
observations at 10 MHz with AC coupling show that most instruments meet the DC-coupled specifications, however, a small percentage of instruments
are expected to have errors exceeding 0.5 dB at 10 MHz at the temperature extreme. The effect at 20 to 50 MHz is negligible but not warranted.
