N1093A/B DCA-M multiple-channel optical 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 N1093A/B must be controlled from a PC or DCA-X that is running a FlexDCA with minimum FlexDCA firmware versionA.07.90.

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

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 ±1°C 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 N1093A/B 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.
