Delta Time

Accuracy
The formula to calculate delta-time measurement accuracy (DTA) for a given instrument setting and input
signal is given below (assumes insignificant signal content above Nyquist)

N = input-referred noise (volts

TBA = timebase accuracy (Refer to the Long-term sample rate and delay time accuracy specifi cation)
t
p
= delta-time measurement duration (sec)
RD = (R ecord
Length) / (Sample Rate)
Assumes that error due to aliasing is insignificant.
The term under the square-root sign is the stability, and is due to TIE (Time Interval Error). The errors due
to this term occur throughout a single-shot measurement. The second term is due to both the absolute
center-frequency accuracy and the center-frequency stability of the timebase and varies between multiple
single-shot measurements over the observation interval (the amount of time from the first single-shot
measurement to the final single-shot measurement).
