Speed Characteristics
1. These Math operations do not apply for Continuous Totalize or Timestamp measurements.
2. Allan Deviation is only calculated for Frequency and Period measurements. Allan Deviation calculation is available on both 53220A
3. Limit Test only displays on instrument front panel. No hardware output signal is available.
4. Operating speeds are for a direct connection to a >2.5 GHz dual core CPU running Windows
5. Throughput data based on 53230A with a 1 µsec gate time. Typical reading throughput assumes ASCII format, Auto level OFF with
6. Maximum 53230A rates represent >= 20 MHz input signals with min gate times, no delays or holdoffs. Measurement rates for the
