Definitions and Conditions
Specifications describe the performance of parameters covered by the product
warranty and apply to temperature ranges 0 to 55 °C, unless otherwise noted.
95th percentile values indicate the breadth of the population (approx. 2σ) of
performance tolerances expected to be met in 95 percent of the cases with
a 95 percent confidence, for any ambient temperature in the range of 20 to
30 °C. In addition to the statistical observations of a sample of instruments,
these values include the effects of the uncertainties of external calibration
references. These values are not warranted. These values are updated
occasionally if a significant change in the statistically observed behavior of
production instruments is observed.
Typical describes additional product performance information that is not
covered by the product warranty. It is performance beyond specifications that
80 percent of the units exhibit with a 95 percent confidence level over the
temperature range 20 to 30 °C. Typical performance does not include measurement uncertainty.
Nominal values indicate expected performance, or describe product performance that is useful in the application of the product, but is not covered by the
product warranty.
The analyzer will meet its specifications when:
–– The analyzer is within its calibration cycle.
–– Under auto couple control, except that Auto Sweep Time Rules = Accy.
–– For signal frequencies < 10 MHz, DC coupling applied.
–– The analyzer has been stored at an ambient temperature within the allowed
operating range for at least two hours before being turned on, if it had
previously been stored at a temperature range inside the allowed storage
range but outside the allowed operating range.
–– The analyzer has been turned on at least 30 minutes with Auto Align set
to normal, or if Auto Align is set to off or partial, alignments must have
been run recently enough to prevent an Alert message. If the Alert condition is changed from Time and Temperature to one of the disabled duration
choices, the analyzer may fail to meet specifications without informing the
user.

LNP (Low Noise Path) requires option LNP.
At higher frequency bands (beyond 3.6 GHz), Preamp “On” supersedes “LNP enabled”. LNP cannot operate simultaneously with preamp.
Beginning January 2015, all PXAs ship standard with the second-generation of NFE (instrument alignment based) installed as N9030A-NF2.
