NOTES:
* Specifications (valid within ± 10° C of auto-calibration temperature, excluding bandwidth− see
note 1 for bandwidth specification.)
1. Upper bandwidth reduces by 2.5 MHz for every degree C above 35° C.
2. Rise time is calculated from the formula:
t
r
=
0.35
bandwidth
3. Specification applies to the maximum sampling rate. At lower rates, the specification is:
± [(0.005% x ∆t)+ (2 x 10
-6
x delay setting) + (0.15 x sample interval)] for bandwidth limited signals
(t
r
= 1.4 x sample interval). Sample interval is defined as
1
sample
rate
4. Vertical gain accuracy decreases 0.08% per degree C from software calibration temperature.
5. Digitizing level = (# vertical divisions)(
1
2
)(

LSB
), where LSB= 2
# bits in ADC
6. The Time Interval Measurement Accuracy deteriorates across multiple modules connected as one
unit with each added module.
