N1030A/B Module Specifications
N1030A/B module specifications and characteristics apply when a module is installed in the instrument mainframe. The following notes refer to the module specifications listed in this chapter.
- N1000A Regulatory Information and Instrument Markings
- 86100D Regulatory Information and Instrument Markings
An N1030A/B with a serial number ≥ US62100101 requires FlexDCA firmware version A.06.90 or later.
For N1030A/B modules with a serial number < US62100101, the minimum required firmware version is A.06.55 (FlexDCA) for both the N1000A and 86100D.
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 while module calibration is valid. 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.
Factory Calibration Cycle. For optimum performance, the N1030A/B should have a complete verification of specifications once every 12 months.
Nominal Value indicates the expected, but not warranted, value of the parameter.

For the average power monitor and the channel vertical path.
The frequency response is verified using an optical impulse (< 1 ps FWHM).
Generally represents the power level where an ideal eye diagram will approach 0% mask margin due to the noise of the oscilloscope. Provides a non-specified figure of merit to compare sensitivities of various optical channels. These values are calculated from the characteristic noise values.
Referenced two divisions from screen bottom.
Single marker, referenced to power sensor.
Average power monitor accuracy is tied to the calibration accuracy of the power sensor.
