To test delta time measurement accuracy
Description
DTMA (delta time measurement accuracy) refers to the accuracy of time delay
measurements made between two edges of a sine wave acquired on a single scope
channel. DTMA depends heavily on whether the waveform is averaged, and is expressed
as both an absolute error (peak) and a standard deviation of multiple measurements
(rms).
Specifications
The DTMA specification is shown below. The periods measured by the oscilloscope
must fall within the expected value of the period ± the value shown in the table. Limits
are shown in the Performance Test Record beginning on page 64.
