PARAMETRIC MEASUREMENTS (cont)
Jitter Error
Noise on the input signal causes jitter which
introduces errors in the measurements. The amount
of jitter depends on the noise amplitude and the slew
rate of the input signals.
The amount of jitter can be calculated as:
jitter = '"Put noise amplitude (peak)
input slew rate in div/sec
Input slew rate should be measured at 2 Volts/div
settings more sensitive than the setting at the end of
the measurements or at 5 mV/div, whichever is less
sensitive.
The slew rate must be measured at the same points
at which the measurement will be taken. The points
for the various measurements are:

The algorithms used for the measurements result in
the following equation for the total jitter error that
must be applied to the accuracy specifications.
Jitter Error =
2 * first point jitter
+ 2 * second point jitter.
