Typical Characteristics
This subsection contains tables that list the various typical characteristics which
describe the TDS 684A and 7XXA Digitizing Oscilloscopes.
Typical characteristics are described in terms of typical or average performance.
Typical characteristics are not warranted.
Table 1–15: Typical Characteristics — Signal Acquisition System
Name Description
Accuracy, Delta Time Measurement The limits are given in the following table for signals having amplitude greater than
5 divisions, reference level = 50%, filter set to (sinX/X), acquired at 5 mV/div or greater.
For the TDS 7XXA, pulse duration < 10 div. Channel skew not included.
For the Single Shot condition, 1.4 T

/S
i
4, where S
i
is the sample interval and T
r
is
the displayed rise time.
TDS 684A: For the averaged condition, 1.4 T
r
/W
i
40, where W
i
is the Waveform
Interval, as described elsewhere in these specifications.
TDS 684A: Extra error in the measurement will occur for two-channel measurements due
to channel-to-channel skew. This is described elsewhere in these specifications.

TDS 684A example: at 5 GS/s, 5 ns/div, measuring a 40 ns wide
pulse, accuracy = ±( 40 ps + 4 ps + 5 ps) = ±49 ps.
