[12] Accuracy specifications are for the voltage measured at
the input terminals only. 1mA test current is typical. Variation
in the current source will create some variation in the voltage
drop across a diode junction.

Measuring Characteristics
Autozero OFF Operation
Following instrument warm-up at calibration temperature ±1°C
and <10 minutes, add 0.0002% range additional error + 5 µV.
Settling Considerations
Reading settling times are affected by source impedance,
cable dielectric characteristics, and input signal changes.
Measurement Considerations
Agilent recommends the use of
PTFE
â
or other high-impedance,
low-dielectric absorption wire insulation for these measurements.
