scope:

This standard applies to the specification of pulse generators and to accessories used with generators. Specifically excluded from the scope of this standard are generators with continuous or pulsed sinusoidal outputs, television pattern generators, complex function generators, and generators for insulation resistance testing. Within its scope, this standard extablishes: 1) the definitions related to generators; 2) the terminology for describing the functional performance of generators; 3) a listing of performance characteristics on which a statement of the performance of generators may be based; 4) the criteria for evaluating the performance of generators; and 5) the tests necessary to verify the performance of generators.
