Measurement Characteristics (continued)
1. Maximum display resolution for frequency and period. Totalize display resolution is 15 digits, time interval based measurements are
12 digits.
2. Continuous, gap-free measurements limits the gate time setting to 10 µs to 1000 s in 10 µs steps.
3. Refer to the gate characteristics section for more details on advanced gate capabilities.
4. Measurements on each input channel are performed simultaneously using one gate interval. The actual measurement gate interval on each
channel will be synchrounous with edges of each input signal.
5. Maximum sample rate. Actual sample rate will be limited by the input signal edge rate for signals slower than the selected sample rate.
Maximum timestamp rate offers minimal FM tolerance. If high FM tolerance is required, use lower timestamp rates.
6. Assumes two frequencies are identical, only shifted in phase.
7. Manual control of gate width and gate delay are allowed only for wide pulsed mode.
8. For pulsed signals > -7 dBm (100 mVrms) while gated on.
9. For totalize, time interval and frequency measurements, you may get measurement readings beyond the range stated, but the accuracy of
those readings is not specied.
10. Applies when burst width * Carrier Freq > 80.
11. Specications apply if measurement channels are in 5 V range, DC coupled, 50 Ω terminated and at xed level for: time interval single and
dual channel, pulse width, duty, phase, single period and rise/fall time measurements.
