1. Verified with maximum level input signal (~800 mVpp)

2. The precision timebase performs optimally with a sinusoidal input. Non-sinusoidal signals will operate with some degradation in timebase linearity.

3. 86108B-LBW are shipped with a 3.5 mm (female) to 3.5 mm (female) connector saver on the input channels (P/N 5061-5311). The 86108B-HBW is shipped

with 2.4 mm female to 2.4 mm female connector savers on the input channels.

Precision time base (86108 configurations)

The 86108 has an integrated precision timebase within the plug-in module. The

86108A/B can be triggered through clock recovery of the observed signal, through

an external reference clock into the precision timebase section, or with the precision

timebase operating on the clock signal recovered from the observed signal. The following

specifications indicate the 86100 system timebase specifications achieved when using

the 86108A/B plug-in module. (The 86100 mainframe and the 86108A/B module can

also be triggered with a signal into the mainframe. In this configuration, the basic

mainframe specifications are achieved.) If the 86108A/B is placed in a mainframe that

has an integrated precision timebase (86100D-PTB), the integrated mainframe precision

timebase is disabled.
