(1). A total of ten waveforms can be stored.(Every waveform can composed of 1M points maximum.)
(2). Add 1/10th of output amplitude and offset specification per °C for operation outside of 0°C to 28°C range (1-year specification).
(3). Edge time decreased at higher frequency.
(4). Sine and square waveforms above 25 MHz are allowed only with an "Infinite" count.
(5). Harmonic distortion and Spurious noise at low amplitudes is limited by a -70 dBm floor.
