Specifi cation (spec)

The warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored for a minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature
range of 0 °C - 55 °C and after a 45-minute warm up period. Automated calibration (*CAL?) performed within ±5 °C before
measurement. All specifi cations were created in compliance with ISO-17025 methods.

Data published in this document are specifi cations unless otherwise noted.

Typical (typ)

The characteristic performance, which 80% or more of manufactured instruments will meet. This data is not warranted, does not
include measurement uncertainty, and is valid only at room temperature (approximately 23 °C). Automated calibration (*CAL?)
performed within ±5 °C before measurement.

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 23 °C).
Automated calibration (*CAL?) performed within ±5 °C before measurement.

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 23 °C).Automated calibration (*CAL?) performed within
±5 °C before measurement.

Stability

Represents the 24-hour, ±1 °C short-term, relative measurement accuracy.
Includes measurement error and 24-hour ± 1°C timebase aging error.

Accuracy

Represents the traceable measurement accuracy of a measurement for T

CAL

± 5 °C. Includes measurement error, timebase error, and

calibration source uncertainty.

Random measurement errors are combined using the root-sum-square method and are multiplied by K for the desired confi dence level.
Systematic errors are added linearly and include time skew errors, trigger timing errors, and timebase errors as appropriate for each
measurement type.

T

CAL

Represents the ambient temperature of the instrument during the last adjustment to calibration reference standards.

T

CAL

must be between 10 °C to 45 °C for a valid instrument calibration.

T

ACAL

Represents the temperature of the instrument during the last automated calibration (*CAL?) operation.
