Notes to Performance Specifications
[1] Specifications apply for max resolution in each function, normal mode
[2] Assumes 4 hour warm-up period
[3] Input zero or offset null required whenever the temperature moves more than ±1 °C from the temperature at which the previous
null/zero was performed.
[4] TCal = Ambient calibration temperature
[5] Integration time >1 Power Line cycle
[6] Valid for signals >1 % Full Scale, Transfer Mode On. Signals must be DC coupled <40 Hz.

[10] Tru Ohms mode available on 2 Ω to 20 kΩ ranges. Read Rate reduced in Tru Ohms Mode. Specification for Tru Ohms same as
corresponding Normal or Lo Current range
[11] Valid for 4-wire sensor
[12] Not including sensor uncertainty

Assume Range and Full Scale = 2000 V when calculating for 1000 V Range. For DCI, additional errors only apply in 5 digit
resolution
[14] Fast mode not available in PRT
[15] The maximum display value for the Analog to Digital converter is 199 990 000 counts. This sets the maximum value measurable
on each range to be a one followed by four nines. For example, the maximum measured values on the 2 V range on DC Voltage
are ±1.999 900 00 V. However, the 1000 V ranges are limited to a maximum 1050 V.
[16] The zero TC specification only needs to be applied if an input zero has not been performed within ±1 ºC of the current operating
temperature.
