IEEE 311:1970

New IEEE Standard - Inactive-Withdrawn.
"The purposes of this Standard are: to document the minimum information that users of general-purpose laboratory cathode-ray oscilloscopes typically need; to provide potential purchasers and others with a common means for making comparisons between instruments; and to provide uniformity of information from manufacturers. This Standard applies primarily to general-purpose laboratory cathode-ray oscilloscopes; it does not necessarily apply to specific kinds of oscilloscopes, such as those employing sampling techniques, nor to storage oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, television monitors, or other instruments using cathode-ray tube displays."

This Standard applies primarily to general-purpose laboratory cathode-ray oscilloscopes; it does not necessarily apply to specific kinds of oscilloscopes, such as those employing sampling techniques, nor to storage oscilloscopes, spectrum analyzers, television monitors, or other instruments using cathode-ray tube displays. Information for cathode-ray oscilloscopes designed or modified for specific applications and/or environments may require modification of certain listed information or the addition of more information.
The purposes of this Standard arc 1) to document the minimum information that users of general-purpose laboratory cathode-ray oscilloscopes typically need, 2) to provide potential purchasers and others with a common means for making comparisons between instruments, and 3) to provide uniformity of information from manufacturers.
