1 Rise Time figures are calculated from: tr=.35/Bandwidth.
2 Magnification is used below the 10 mV/div range and between the major attenuation settings. Full scale
is defined as the major attenuator setting over an intermediate setting.
(Major settings for 50Ω: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, 1000 mV
Major settings for 1 MΩ: all as for 50Ω plus 2 V)
3N/A
4 For bandwidth limited signals, tr >=1.4 x sample interval.
5 FFT amplitude readings are affected by input amplifier roll-off (-3 dB, with amplitude decreasing as
frequency increases above 500 MHz in 1 MΩ, 600 MHz in 50Ω for Agilent 54830/31B/D, 1 GHz in 50Ω for
Agilent 54832B/D & 54833A/D).
