[1] Analog capture for each channel is selectable between the BNC or POD inputs individually.
[2] Dedicated A/D converter for each analog channel to support sample synchronous capture at all supported hardware rates on both analog channels or one analog and all logic channels.
[3] Maximum bandwidth of analog channels captured using equivalent time sampling or used with the multi-band spectrum analyzer via 10:1 probes with prescale disabled and waveform amplitude captured to 10% full-scale.
[4] User selectable analog input prescaler for use with low level signals or when 20MHz input bandwidth limiting is required.
[5] Minimum measurable peak-to-peak sinusoidal waveform voltage when both resolution enhancement and input multiplier are enabled, when viewed as a waveform (Time) or viewed as a spectrum (Freq) and the minimum measurable average DC voltage (Mean).
[6] Streaming capture sample rates for data logging and transient recorder applications.
[7] Real-Time (Nyquist Limited) sample rates (captured per frame).
[8] Equivalent-Time (not Nyquist limited) sample rates sample rates (captured per frame). Applies to periodic signals only.
[9] Specifies the maximum effective number of bits (ENOB) achieveable with resolution enhancement enabled.
[10] All specifications are quoted on the basis that the product is used with the apropriate BitScope software.
[11] Supports 4 different generator types: VSR = Variable Sample Rate, DDS = Direct Digital Synthesis, CLK = Clock Generator, PRNG = Psuedo Random Number Generator.
[12] Minimum and maximum frequency depends on generator type as indicated.
[13] Uncalibrated frequency accuracy is specified (as defined by the BS120U reference crystal). May be calibrated to better than this if precision frequency reference is available.
[14] Temperature Coefficient is that of the BS120U reference crystal.
[15] Trigger, Burst and Clock modes may be configured to accept or generate a trigger or clock signal via the TimePort.
[16] The maximum duration or delay depends on the sample rate. The maximum duration in all cases exceeds 1 hour but can extend far beyond this limit at lower sample rates.
