Definitions and Conditions 

Specifications represent warranted performance of a calibrated instrument that has been stored for a 

minimum of 2 hours within the operating temperature of 0 to 55 °C, unless otherwise stated, and after 

a 45 minute warm-up period. The specifications include measurement uncertainty. Data represented in

this document are specifications unless otherwise noted. 

Typical (typ) describes additional product performance information that is not covered by the product

 warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that 80 percent of the units exhibit with a 90 percent 

confidence level at room temperature (approximately  25 °C). Typical performance does not include 

measurement uncertainty. 

Nominal (nom) values indicate the expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose

performance is by design, such as the 50 ohm connector. This data is not warranted and is measured 

at room temperature (approximately 25 °C). 

Measured (meas) describes an attribute measured during the design phase for purposes of communicating

expected performance, such as amplitude drift vs. time. This data is not warranted and is measured at room 

temperature (approximately  25 °C).
