Only feature additions beyond the E6890A General Purpose Application are included in this document. Specifications describe the test set’s warranted performance and are valid for the unit’s operation within ±10 °C of the last self alignment. All specifications are valid after a 30-minute warm-up period of continuous operation with valid self alignment. If the instrument has been off for longer than 48 hours, a 48-hour warm-up period followed by a self alignment is required. Frequency Supplemental characteristics are intended to provide typical, but non-warranted, performance parameters that may be useful in applying the instrument. These characteristics are shown in italics and labeled as “typical.” All units shipped from the factory meet these typical numbers at +25 °C ambient temperature without including measurement uncertainty.
