Definitions
Specifications are valid under the following conditions: The instrument is within the calibration period, has been stored
between 0 and 40℃ for at least 2 hours before use, and has been powered on and warmed up for at least 90 minutes. The
specifications include the measurement uncertainty unless otherwise noted.
Specifications: All products are guaranteed to meet published specifications at room temperature (approximately 25℃),
unless otherwise noted.
Typical: Performance deemed typical implies that 80 percent of the measurement results will meet the typical publishedperformance with a 95th percentile confidence level at room temperature (approximately 25℃). Typical performance is notwarranted and does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal: This value indicates the expected mean or average performance, or an attribute whose performance is by design,
such as the 50 Ohm connector.
