Characteristic Description
For Power Trigger:
±[(2 X Power Trigger Position Timing Uncertainty) + 5 ns];
All conditions for Power Trigger Position timing uncertainty must be met
For FMT:
±[(2 X Frequency Mask Timing Uncertainty) + 5 ns];
All conditions for Frequency Mask Trigger timing uncertainty must be met
For DPX Density Trigger:
±50 ms;
For External Trigger SPAN 40 MHz:
±[(2 X External Trigger Timing Uncertainty) + 20 ns];
All conditions for External Trigger Timing uncertainty must be met
For External Trigger 40 MHz < SPAN 165 MHz:
±[(2 X External Trigger Timing Uncertainty) + 5 ns];
All conditions for External Trigger Timing uncertainty must be met
Time Qualified Trigger (minimum or
maximum) Time Accuracy, nominal
Instrument Center Frequency 100 MHz
Holdoff Trigger ON or OFF
Reference Information: Holdoff Trigger means triggers will be held off until a period of time
equal to or greater than the Holdoff Trigger Time occurs with no trigger events; once the
Holdoff timer has expired, a trigger will be generated on the next trigger event
Holdoff Trigger Source Applied to any allowed combination of trigger source and time qualification
Holdoff Trigger Time Range, nominal
20 ns to 10 s
Holdoff Trigger Time Resolution,
nominal
Trigger Source is not EXTERNAL: 5 ns
Trigger S ource is EXTERNAL:
SPAN 40 MHz: 20 ns
40 MHz < SPAN 165 MHz: 5 ns
