Established 1981 Advanced Test Equipment Rentals www.atecorp.com 800-404-ATEC (2832) Appendix A: Specifications This section provides a complete description of the video measurement set specifications. Refer to the Performance Conditions for a description of the required temperature range and other pertinent operating conditions. Terms Used in Specifications Characteristic A characteristic refers to a property of the product. Performance Requirement [REQ] Performance Requirements define characteristics that are essential to the intended application of the product, usually in limit form. Reference Information [RI] Reference Information explains the performance requirements or stipulates conditions under which the performance requirements are effective. Reference information is not considered to be a statement of guaranteed performance. Specification A specification is a document or a section of a document that lists and describes characteristics and performance requirements of a product. A specification also may contain reference information. Typical Typical refers to instrument performance that can be expected but is not guaranteed. Performance Conditions The Performance Requirements listed in the Electrical Specifications apply over an ambient temperature range of 0 C to +50 C. The rated accuracies are valid over the entire 0 C to 50 C range and become typical for temperatures from 10 C to 0 C. Test equipment used to verify Performance Requirements must be calibrated and working within the specified limits. All specifications (with the exception of Signal-to-Noise Ratio Measurement Accuracy) apply for Signal-to-Noise Ratio 52 db (weighted). Averaging (AVG) is enabled for all specifications.
