1. Maximum display resolution for frequency. Totalize display resolution is 15 digits, time interval is 12 digits.
2. Continuous, gap-free measurements limits the gate time setting to 10 µs to 1000 s in 10 µs steps.
3. Refer to the gate characteristics section for more details on advanced gate capabilities.
4. Measurements on each input channel are performed simultaneously using one gate interval. The actual measurement gate interval
5. Maximum sample rate. Actual sample rate will be limited by the input signal edge rate for signals slower than the selected sample
6. Assumes two frequencies are identical, only shifted in phase.
7. Manual control of gate width and gate delay are allowed only for wide pulsed mode.
8. For pulsed signals > -7 dBm (100 mVrms) while gated on.
9. For totalize, time interval and frequency measurements, you may get measurement readings beyond the
10. Applies when burst width * Carrier Freq >80.
11. Specifications apply if measurement channels are in 5 V range, DC coupled, 50 ohm terminated and at fixed level for: time interval
