VB-8054 Specifications
Definitions
Warranted specifications describe the performance of a model under stated operating conditions and are covered by the model warranty.
Characteristics describe values that are relevant to the use of the model under stated operating conditions but are not covered by the model warranty.
- Typical specifications describe the expected performance met by a majority of the models.
- Nominal specifications describe parameters and attributes that may be useful in operation.
Conditions
Typical specifications are valid under the following conditions unless otherwise noted:
- 25 °C
- 30-minute warm-up time before operation
Warranted specifications are valid at Tcal ±5 °C. Temperature coefficients are calculated using the temperature change from last external calibration.
