A-14 Specifications
Thus, the actual reading accuracy is 10mV ±36mV or 10.036mV to 9.964mV. Applying the
voltage reading accuracy into the dB equation yields:
Thus, the actual reading accuracy is -60dB + 0.031213dB to -60dB - 0.031326dB.
dBm and dB for other voltage inputs can be calculated in exactly the same manner using
pertinent specifications, ranges, and other reference voltages.
Additional derating factors
In some cases, additional derating factors must be applied to calculate certain accuracy val-
ues. For example, an additional derating factor of 0.02ppm/V must be added to DCV specifica-
tions for voltages over 500V. Before calculating accuracy, study the associated specifications
very carefully to see if any derating factors apply.
Optimizing measurement accuracy
The configurations listed below assume that the multimeter has had factory setups restored.
DC voltage, DC current, and resistance:
• Select 6-1/2 digits, 10 PLC, filter ON (up to 100 readings), fixed range.
• Use REL on DC voltage and 2-wire resistance measurements.
• Use 4-wire resistance measurements for best accuracy.
AC voltage and AC current:
• Select 6-1/2 digits, 10 PLC, filter ON (up to 100 readings), fixed range.
Temperature:
• Select 6-1/2 digits, 10 PLC, filter ON (up to 100 readings).
