Delta time measurement accuracy
(Se
e page 87.)
The formula to calculate delta-time m easurement accuracy (DTA) for a given
instrument setting and input signal is given below (assumes insignificant signal
content above Nyquist).

TBA = timebase accuracy (refer to the Long-term sample rate and delay time
accuracy specification above)
