1. Additional error from
Tcal or last ACAL±1°C.
2. Additional error from
Tcal± 5°C.
3. Specifications are for
PRESET; NPLC 100.
4. Tcal± 1°C.
5. Specifications for 90 day,
1 year, and 2 year are
within 24 hours and ±1°C

Add 5 ppm of reading
additional error for
Agilent factory
traceability to US NIST.
Traceability error is the
sum of the 10 V and 10
kW traceability values.
6. Typical accuracy.
7. For PRESET; DELAY 0;
DlSP OFF; OFORMAT
DINT; ARANGE OFF.
8. Aperture is selected
independent of line
frequency (LFREQ).
These apertures are for 60
Hz NPLC values where 1
NPLC = 1/ LFREQ. For
50 Hz and NPLC
Indicated, aperture will
increase by 1.2 and
reading rates will decrease
by 0.833.
Settling Characteristics
For first reading or range change error, add .001%
of input current step additional error. Reading
settling times can be affected by source impedance
and cable dielectric absorption characteristics.
Additional Errors
Measurement Considerations
Agilent recommends the use of PTFE cable or other
high impedance, low dielectric absorption cable for low
current measurements. Current measurements at rates
<NPLC 1 are subject to potential noise pickup. Care
must be taken to provide adequate shielding and
guarding to maintain measurement accuracies
