Specifications
Specifications describe the instrument's warranted performance. Non-warranted values are described
as typical. All specifications apply after a 30 minute warm-up phase with 50
W source/load resistance
and separate channels. All specifications are valid from 0°C to 55°C ambient temperature.
Timing Characteristics
Measured at 50% amplitude at fastest transitions in continuous mode and 50 W source impedance.

Skew [8] ±± 5 ns
Notes:
[1] The width can only be varied in Pulse mode. In square mode the duty cycle is fixed at 50%
[2] Width and duty cycle are mutually exclusive. Duty Cycle settings and limits are subject to the same specifications and settings as
Width.
[3] Delay variation Channel 2 to Channel 1
[4] The interchannel delay between Channel 1 and Channel 2 is the programmed delay of Channel
[5] Any parameter variation
[6] Only delay variation
[7] Delay and Phase are mutually exclusive. Phase settings and limits are subject to the same specifications and settings as
[8] Delay or Phase, plus Skew must be within the Delay Range
Repeatability: is typ. four times better
than accuracy.
Internal Clock Generation
The internal clock can be set in
frequency or period mode
External Clock
The external input signal determines
the timebase of the instrument. The
external period or frequency is
measured and displayed, allowing the
correct setting of Duty Cycle and
Phase also in External Clock mode.
