General
Product data applies under the following conditions:
Uncertainties
Represent limits of measurement uncertainty for a given measurand. Uncertainty is defined with a coverage factor of 2 and has been
calculated in line with the rules of the Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement (GUM), taking into account
environmental conditions, aging, wear and tear.
Device settings and GUI parameters are indicated as follows: “parameter: value”.
Typical data as well as nominal and measured values are not warranted by Rohde & Schwarz.
