1. Within 1 hour after zero set, at a constant temperature, after a 24 
hour warm-up of the power meter.
Measurement Noise

2. The number of averages at 16 (for normal mode) and 32 (for x2 mode), 
at a constant temperature, measured over a 1 minute interval and 2 
standard deviations. For HP ECP-series power sensors the 
measurement noise is measured within the low range. Refer to the 
relevant power sensor manual for further information.
