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.
