Stability
Stability for a given period of time is defined as the output uncertainty minus the
calibration uncertainty at the 99% Confidence Level. When the output voltage is
characterized by a regression model, stability is given by the following equation:

Each data point for the computation of the regression parameters is the average voltage
of 50 readings taken in a 50-second measurement period.
Stability for the 732B outputs at 23 ±1°C is specified as follows:
Output Voltage
Stability (± ppm)
30 Days 90 Days 1 Year
10V 0.3 0.8 2.0
1.018V 0.8 NA NA
Noise at the Output Terminals
Output noise is specified for both day-to-day observations and for short-term
observations. The former is given by the standard deviation of a 90-day regression
model. The latter is in terms of its rms value in a bandwidth as follows:

Output Current and Limits
Output Voltage Output Current Limit Output Impedance
10V 12 mA (Note) ≤ 1 mΩ
1.018V 20 pA ≤ 1 kΩ
Note: Limit output current to ≤ 0.1 mA to realize 72 hour battery operation.
