Specifications and Characteristics
Specifications describe the instrument’s warranted performance and apply after a 30 minute warm-up.
These specifications are valid over its operating/environmental range unless otherwise stated and after performing a zero
and calibration procedure.
Supplemental characteristics (shown in italics) are intended to provide additional information, useful in applying the instru-
ment by giving typical (expected), but not warranted performance parameters. These characteristics are shown in italics or
labeled as “typical”, “nominal” or “approximate”.
