That is correct.? A rating of -10%/+75% is indeed a capacitance tolerance specification.? For a while they used GMV as a tolerance, meaning Guaranteed Minimum Value.? When bypassing, tolerance isn't very important.? But price is.? The wider the tolerance, the fewer rejects and the easier testing becomes.

Thanks, and if I understand right +75-10? is 75C tempature and 10% tolerance.
Any idea what the manual is referring to when it is describing a capacitor
under the parts list by CER DIR, seems like the CER might be ceramic but DI I
am not sure
In my experience, that rating is +75% -10% (capacitance) and most Tektronix caps are rated at 85C or occasionally better.
