(1) Relative to calibration standard
(2) Within one hour of dc zero, using offset control

Medium and fast rates: in medium rate, add 3 counts (20 counts on 20 mV range) to number of counts.
In fast rate, use two 4 1/2 digit counts (30 counts on 20 mV range) for the number of counts
Operating characteristics
Temperature coefficient: > ± (0.0006% of reading + 0.3 count) per °C from 18°C to 0°C and 28°C to 50°C

Maximum input: 1000V dc or peak ac on any range
Noice rejection: automatically optimized at power-up for 50, 60 or 400 Hz
