■ SPECIFICATIONS - DEFINITION OF TERMS
Power Range
The range of input powers for which the instrument can be used.
Maximum Input Power
The input power is not to be exceeded to avoid destroying the instrument.
Uncertainty at
reference conditions
The uncertainty for the specified set of reference conditions, including all uncertainties
in the calibration chain from the national laboratory to the test meter (connectors and
p a t c h c o rds must be absolutely clean and undamaged). Reference conditions are the
conditions during the spectral responsivity calibration.
Total Uncertainty
The uncertainty for a specified set of operating conditions, including noise and drift
(connectors and patchcords must be absolutely clean and undamaged).
Autotest sensitivity
The power level below which the Autotest does not work.
