Specifications
Specifications apply under the following conditions:
15 minutes warmup time at ambient temperature, specified environmental
conditions met, calibration cycle adhered to, and total calibration performed.
Data designated “nominal” apply to design parameters and are not tested.
Data designated “overrange” are not warranted.
Warranted specs do not apply to the Extended Divider Range mode.
