Offset ranges,
minimum
For 50  path, 1 V/div is the maximum vertical setting.
The input signal cannot exceed Max Input Voltage for the 50  input path. Refer to the Max Input Voltage
specification for more information.
Position range ±5 divisions

DC Accuracy (i n Volts)
Average of  16 waveforms ±[DC Gain Accuracy × | reading – (offset -
position) | + offset accuracy + 0.1 division ]
Refer to DC Gain Accuracy for temperature
derating information.
Delta Volts between any two averages of 16

Offset, position, and the constant offset term must be converted to volts by multiplying by the appropriate
volts/div term.
The basic accuracy specifi cation applies d irectly to any sample and to the following measurements: High,
Low, Max, Min, Mean, Cycle M ean, RMS, and Cycle RMS. The delta volt accuracy specification applies to
subtractive calculations involving two of these measurements.
The delta volts (difference voltage) accuracy specification applies directly to the following measurements:
Positive Overshoot, Negative Overshoot, Pk-Pk, and Amplitude.
