¹Rise time figures are calculated from tr = 0.35/bandwidth.

²Magnification is used below 7 mV/div range. Below 7 mV/div, full scale is defined as 56 mV. Full scale is defined as the major attenuator setting above an intermediate setting. (Major settings 50 ohm: 10 mV, 20 mV, 50 mV, 100 mV, 200 mV, 500 mV, 1 V, 1 M ohm: all of the above plus 2 V).

³The dc gain accuracy decreases 0.08% of full scale per degree C from the firmware calibration temperature.
