Definitions
Specification (spec.):
Warranted performance. All specifications apply at 23 ºC ( 5 ºC), unless
otherwise stated, and 90 minutes after the instrument has been turned on.
Specifications include guard bands to account for the expected statistical
performance distribution, measurement uncertainties, and changes in
performance due to environmental conditions.
Supplemental information is intended to provide information that is helpful for
using the instrument but that is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
Typical (typ.):
Describes performance that will be met by a minimum of 80% of all products.
It is not guaranteed by the product warranty.
Supplemental performance data (SPD):
Supplemental performance data represents the value of a parameter that is
most likely to occur; the expected mean or average. It is not guaranteed by the
product warranty.
General characteristics:
A general, descriptive term that does not imply a level of performance.
Boundary Conditions
In this data sheet, boundary conditions are given for the specifications. For
example, system dynamic range is 98 dB with the following boundary conditions.
Option: 485
Frequency: 10 MHz
IF bandwidth: 3 kHz
If the same boundary conditions fall under more than one category in a table,
apply the best value.
