Precision time base (86108 configurations)
The 86108 has an integrated precision timebase within the plug-in module. The
86108A/B can be triggered through clock recovery of the observed signal, through
an external reference clock into the precision timebase section, or with the precision
timebase operating on the clock signal recovered from the observed signal. The following
specifications indicate the 86100 system timebase specifications achieved when using
the 86108A/B plug-in module. (The 86100 mainframe and the 86108A/B module can
also be triggered with a signal into the mainframe. In this configuration, the basic
mainframe specifications are achieved.) If the 86108A/B is placed in a mainframe that
has an integrated precision timebase (86100D-PTB), the integrated mainframe precision
timebase is disabled.

1. Verified with maximum level input signal (~800 mVpp)
2. The precision timebase performs optimally with a sinusoidal input. Non-sinusoidal signals will operate with some degradation in timebase linearity.
3. 86108B-LBW are shipped with a 3.5 mm (female) to 3.5 mm (female) connector saver on the input channels (P/N 5061-5311). The 86108B-HBW is shipped
with 2.4 mm female to 2.4 mm female connector savers on the input channels.
