Specifications

Specifications
Tables 1 through 13 list the functional, electrical, mechanical, and environmental
characteristics of the MTX100B. All listed specifications are guaranteed unless
labeled “typical”. Typical specifications are provided for your convenience but
are not guaranteed.
Software Protection
The MTX100B software options require that a software key, and beginning with
V10.1, an OptionDongle be installed so that the purchased set of options can
be accessed.
CAUTION. The software key/OptionDongle must be installed on the instrument
before the MTX100B software application will operate.
The software key is the character string that is entered into the Option Update
Key string field. Beginning with V10.1, an OptionDongle is also provided. The
OptionDongle is a small hardware device that is available in parallel port form.
The software key and the OptionDongle work together; the software polls the
OptionDongle at the beginning of the application and during the Play and Record
to verify the option coding. The type of software key used by your test system is
determined at the time of the original product order.
Any printer compatible with the installed operating system can be connected to
the unit through the parallel port version of the OptionDongle.
Performance Conditions
The electrical characteristics listed on the following pages are valid under the
following conditions:
The MTX100B must be in an environment where the temperature, altitude,
humidity, and vibration conditions are within the operating limits. (See
Table 1-13.)
The MTX100B must have a warm-up period of at least 20 minutes.
The MTX100B must be operating at an ambient temperature between
+5 C to +40 C, unless otherwise noted.
