Specifications

The following tables list the specifications for the Tektronix WFM6100,

WFM7000, and WFM7100 Waveform Monitors with Option FP installed. Items

listed in the Performance Requirement column are generally quantitative, and

can be tested by the Performance Verification procedure in Section 2 of this

manual. Items listed in the R eference Information column are useful operating

parameters that have typical values; information in this column is not guaran-

teed.

The specifications listed in the Electrical Specifications portion of these tables

apply over an ambient temperature range of +0 _Cto+40_C. The rated

accuracies are valid when the instrument is calibrated in an ambient temperature

range of +20 _Cto+30_C.

Most of the error seen on the display

close to the theoretical limit of a perfect

Pulse-to-bar ratio 0.995:1 to 1.005:1 on ap-

pulse.

A sine-squared pulse near Nyquist is not

band-limited and so inherently has ringi ng

much larger than the waveform monitor filter.

A three term Blackman pulse with the same

HAD has much less inherent ringing, so it is

a bet ter choice for most testing. See Digital
