To test time scale accuracy
Description
TSA (time scale accuracy) refers to the absolute accuracy of the oscilloscope's time scale. Since
TSA depends directly on the frequency of a crystal oscillator, it is comprised of two components;
an initial accuracy component and an aging component. The initial accuracy component applies
to the scope's accuracy on the date of it's shipment to the customer. The aging component scales
linearly from the scope's manufacture date and adds to the initial accuracy component.
Specifications
TSA is published as a warranted specification, expressed by the following formula.
TSA ≤ ±(15 + 2 • (Years Since Manufacture)) ppm
You can determine the year of manufacture from the oscilloscope’s serial number. See "Year of
Manufacture" on page 11.
This procedure verifies the maximum TSA specification for the oscilloscope.
