This is the difference between the measured DC gain and the nominal DC gain, divided by the nominal
DC gain and expressed as a percent.

Vertical position = 0: ±(3% of |reading| + 0.1 div + 1 mV)
Vertical position ≠ 0 and vertical scale = 2 mV/div to 200 mV/div: ±[3% of |reading + vertical position|
+ 1% of |vertical position| + 0. 2 div + 7 mV]
Vertical position ≠ 0 and vertical scale > 200 mV/div: ±[3% of |reading + vertical position| + 1% of
|vertical position| + 0.2 div + 175 mV]
Delta volts between any two averages of 16 waveforms acquired under the same setup and ambient
conditions.

Analog Bandwidth
Defined in Section 4.6 of IEEE std 1057. The difference between the upper and lower frequencies, at
which the amplitude response, as seen in the data record, is 0.707 (-3 dB) of the response seen in the
data record at the specified reference frequency. Specifies only the -3 dB point. It does not include
the in-band response.
