Specifications
General and Mainframe
Specifications describe warranted performance over the temperature range of +10 °C to +40 °C (unless otherwise noted). The
specifications are applicable for the temperature after the instrument is turned on for one (1) hour, and while self-calibration is valid.
Many performance parameters are enhanced through frequent, simple user calibrations. Characteristics provide useful, non-warranted
information about the functions and performance of the instrument. Characteristics are printed in italic typeface. Product specifications
and descriptions in this document subject to change without notice.
Factory Calibration Cycle - For optimum performance, the instrument should have a complete verification of specifications once every
twelve (12) months.

1. Time offset relative to the front panel trigger input on the instrument mainframe.
2. Dual marker measurement performed at a temperature within ±5 °C of horizontal calibration temperature.
3. The maximum delay setting is 100 ns and delta time does not span across (28 + Nx4)ns ± 100 ps delay setting, where N=0,1,2….18. If delta time measurement span
exceeds above criteria, time interval accuracy is 8 ps +0.1% of ∆ time reading.
4. Characteristic performance. Test configuration: PRBS of length 27 – 1 bits, Data and Clock 10 Gb/s.
