Electrical specification
25
The main amplifier comprises a programmable-gain amplifier, a
selectable mains notch filter, a programmable selection of low-
pass and high-pass filters (analogue or digital), and
programmable selection of input sources. The output of the
amplifier is through a standard coaxial BNC socket.
Bandwidth (with analogue filters) DC to 50 kHz (-3dB) in DC mode
0.16 Hz to 50 kHz in AC mode
Bandwidth for gains over ×3000 25 kHz (-3dB)
Bandwidth (with digital filters) DC to 10 kHz (-3dB)
Gain accuracy ±2%
Digital filter response Bessel or Butterworth
Filter slope (low- and high-pass) 2
