Warranted Characteristics
This section lists the various warranted characteristics that describe the
TDS 400A Digitizing Oscilloscopes. Included are electrical and
environmental characteristics.
Warranted characteristics are described in terms of quantifiable performance
limits which are warranted. This section lists only warranted characteristics. A
list of typical characteristics starts on page 1--23.
NOTE. In these tables, those warranted characteristics that are checked in the
procedure Performance Tests, on page 4--15, appear in boldface type under the
column Name.
Performance Conditions
The electrical characteristics found in these tables of warranted characteristics
apply when the oscilloscope is adjusted at an ambient temperature between
+20_ C and +30_ C, has had a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes, and is
operating at an ambient temperature between 0_ C and +50_ C (unless
otherwise noted).
