Tektronix WFM 601A User Manual

WFM 601A, WFM 601E & WFM 601M User Manual

Table A–1 lists the Electrical specifications for the WFM 601A, WFM 601E, and
WFM 601M Serial Digital Component Waveform Monitors. Performance
Requirements are generally quantitative and can be tested by the Performance
Verification Procedure in the Service Manual. Reference information describes
useful operating parameters that have typical values. These parameters are not
directly checked in the Performance Verification Procedure. Table A–8 lists the
EMC compliance specifications.

The Performance Requirements listed in the electrical specification portion of
these specifications apply over an ambient temperature range of 0

°

 C to +40

°

The rated accuracies are valid when the instrument is calibrated at an ambient
temperature range of +20
