1. Add 1/10th of the output amplitude and offset accuracy specification per °C for operation at temperatures
beyond 23°C ± 5°C.
2. Auto range ON.
3. DC Offset set to zero.
4. limited to arbitrary waveforms that are < 1 million points; phase resolution limited by number of points in
arbitrary waveforms < 3,600 points.
5. Output noise is typically 20 dB lower when (DC + Peak AC) < 320 mV (into 50 Ω) or 640 mV
(into open circuit).
6. Subject to maximum output voltage limits.
7. All frequency changes are phase-continuous.
8. Subject to pulse width limits.
9. Counted Burst operation is not allowed for Gaussian Noise.
10. External trigger only for sweep time > 8000 sec.
Definitions
Specification (spec)
The warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored
for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature range of 0ºC - 55ºC
and after a 45-minute warm up period. All specifications include measurement
uncertainty and were created in compliance with ISO-17025 methods.
Data published in this document are specifications (spec) only where specifi-
cally indicated.
Typical (typ)
The characteristic performance, which 80% or more of manufactured instru-
ments will meet. This data is not warranted, does not include measurement
uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 23ºC).
Nominal
(nom)
The mean or average characteristic performance, or the value of an attribute
that is determined by design such as a connector type, physical dimension, or
operating speed.
This data is not warranted and is measured at room temperature (approximately
23ºC).
Measured
(meas)
An attribute measured during development for purposes of communicating the
expected performance. This data is not warranted and is measured at room
temperature (approximately 23ºC).
Accuracy
Represents the traceable accuracy of a specified parameter. Includes measure-
ment error and timebase error, and calibration source uncertainty.
Random measuremet errors are combined using the root-sum-square method
and are multiplied by M for the desired Confidence Level. Syatematic errors are
added linearly and include time skew errors, trigger timing errors, and timebase
errors as appropriate for each measurement type.
Confidence Level
For 99% Confidence use k= 2.5 in accuracy calculations.
For 95% Confidence use k= 2.0 in accuracy calculations.
