| 1Specifications apply to timeslots/gates with a duration of 12.5 % referenced to the signal period (duty cycle 1:8). For other waveforms, the following equation applies: lower measurement limit = lower measurement limit for continuous average mode / √(duty cycle). |
| 2With a resolution of 256 pixels. |
| 3Specifications apply to the default transition setting of 0 dB. The transition regions can be shifted by as much as –20 dB using an adequate offset. |
| 4To prevent aliasing in the case of signals with discrete modulation frequencies between 100 kHz and 1 MHz. |
| 5Time span prior to triggering, where the trigger signal must be entirely below the threshold level in the case of a positive slope and vice versa in the case of a negative slope. |
| 6Specifications expressed as an expanded uncertainty with a confidence level of 95 % (two standard deviations). For calculating zero offsets at higher confidence levels, use the properties of the normal distribution (e.g. 99.7 % confidence level for three standard deviations). |
| 7Specifications apply to zeroing with a duration of 4 s. Zeroing for more than 4 s lowers uncertainty correspondingly (half values for 16 s). |
| 8Within one hour after zeroing, permissible temperature change ±1 °C, following a two-hour warm-up of the power sensor. |
