Net Offset = Offset - (Position × Volts/Div). Net Offset is the voltage level at the center of the A-D converter dynamic
range. Offset Accuracy is the accuracy of this voltage level.
2
The samples must be acquired under the same setup and ambient conditions.
3
DC Gain Accuracy is confirmed in the Performance Verification Procedure by passing the checks for Offset Accuracy and
DC Voltage Measurement Accuracy (Averaged).
4
Position Accuracy is confirmed in the Performance Verification Procedure by passing the checks for Offset Accuracy and
DC Voltage Measurement Accuracy (Averaged).
5
The limits given are for the ambient temperature range of 0_ C to +30_ C. Reduce the upper bandwidth frequencies by
2.5 MHz for each _C above +30_ C.
6
The AC Coupled Lower Frequency Limits are reduced by a factor of 10 when 10X, passive probes are used.

Measurement
1
For input signals ≥ 5 divisions in amplitude and a slew rate of ≥ 2.0 divisions/ns at the delta time measurement
points. Signal must have been acquired at a volts/division setting ≥ 5 mV/division and not in Events mode.
2
The WI (waveform interval) is the time between the samples in the waveform record. Also, see the footnotes for
Sample Rate Range and Equivalent Time or Interpolated Waveform Rates in Table 2- 3 on page 2- 5.
