Appendix A: Reference 3000 Specifications
All specifications are at an ambient temperature of 25C, with the Reference 3000 powered using the power
adapter shipped with the unit, standard shielded 60 cm cell cables, and the cell enclosed in a Faraday shield.
All specifications are after software calibration.
A numbered note qualifies many of the specifications. Many of these notes describe the method used to
measure a specification. The notes are found at the end of this appendix.
All specifications are subject to change without notice.
