1. All values relate to a one-hour warm-up period.
2. Output current and power are rated into a one ohm load.
3. Higher output powers can be accommodated by using a booster. Contact ILX Lightwave for further information.
4. Broadband noise is measured at 1 A output current over a bandwidth of 10 Hz - 10 MHz.
