©Fluke Calibration 2011 Basics Of Measurement Uncertainty for DMM Calibration 23
Some sources of measurement
“doubt” when verifying a DMM
The most obvious & significant sources of doubt:
Inaccuracy of the calibrator’s output value
100.0000 mV might actually be 100.0000 mV .0030 mV
Repeatability or randomness in measurement values from the DMM
100.0003 mV, 99.9995 mV, 100.0010 mV, etc.
Resolution or sensitivity limits on the DMM
It’s value is ½ the least significant digit,
in this example it represents 0.05 V
Many other factors that could also contribute to uncertainty:
ambient temperature effects, thermal emfs, noise, loading, power line
conditions, etc.
Consider all factors and include if they significantly contribute to
measurement uncertainty
