N1092A/B/C/D/E DCA-M multiple-channel optical/electrical sampling oscilloscope specifications and characteristics apply when the temperature is within the range noted below. Use the DCA-M's rear panel USB Type B connector to connect the DCA-M to a DCA-X mainframe or to N1010A FlexDCA on a PC. The DCA-M is connected as a USB device.

Minimum Firmware Version. The N1092A/B/C/D/E must be controlled from a PC or DCA-X that is running a FlexDCA with minimum FlexDCA firmware versions shown in this list. However, if the N1092-series DCA-M, regardless of option, has a serial number ≥ MY62100101 FlexDCA firmware version A.06.90 or later is required.

  • A.05.40 (N1092C/E)
  • A.05.40 (N1092A/B/D)
  • A.06.00 (N1092X Option 30A)
  • A.06.40 (N1092X Option 40A)
  • A.06.61 (N1092X Option 40A, CDR)
. For additional information concerning the required firmware versions refer to DCA-M compatibility with N1000A and 86100D.

All specifications describe warranted performance over the temperature range +10C to + 40C (unless otherwise noted). The specifications are applicable after the temperature is stabilized, which occurs after 1 hour of continuous operation and within ±5C of the module's calibration temperature.

The N1092/4x time base has humidity-sensitive components. The amount of moisture accumulated in the instrument depends on the length of time it has been powered off as well as ambient humidity. Under certain measurement conditions and environments, the jitter may be temporarily higher than the specified limit after a unit has been recently turned on. If the jitter exceeds the specification it is recommended to allow the instrument to stay powered on for greater than 24 hours to allow the humidity within the system to stabilize. Many performance parameters are enhanced through frequent, simple user calibrations.

Specifications describe warranted performance. Characteristics provide useful, nonwarranted information about the functions and performance of the instrument. Characteristics are printed in green italics. Characteristics are applicable after the temperature is stabilized, which occurs after 1 hour of continuous operation and within ±1C of the module's calibration temperature.

Nominal Value indicates the expected, but not warranted, value of the parameter.

Factory Calibration Cycle. For optimum performance, the N1092A/B/C/D/E should have a complete verification of specifications once every 12 months.

The Mains wiring and connectors shall be compatible with the connector used in the premise electrical system. Failure to ensure adequate earth grounding by not using the correct components may cause product damage, and serious injury.

This product is designed for use in INSTALLATION CATEGORY II and POLLUTION DEGREE 2 environment.

PLL bandwidth is calibrated and verified using clean 26.5625 GBd and 53.125 GBd NRZ and PAM4 signals with FlexDCA clock recovery loop tuning enabled.

Actual PLL bandwidth may vary due to several factors, including pattern characteristics
(low/high transition density), signaling format (NRZ/PAM4), and signal quality (open/closed eyes).
