[1] For ±1 °C and constant load and connection conditions.
[2] When Flicker, Fluctuating harmonics, Dip/Swell or Interharmonics are applied, “Open loop” stability specification
must be added to the 1-year accuracy specification as described in “Open and Closed Loop Operation”.
[3] Output levels less than the range minimum can be set but are not specified.
[4] tcal = temperature of last calibration.
