Loading Errors
The meter’s input resistance is > 10 GW for 1 mV to 10 V
ranges, 10 MW for 100 volt range.

Input Bias Current 
(Leakage Current)
The meter’s measuring circuitry exhibits approximately 
30pA of input bias current for ambient temperatures from 
0°C to 30°C. Bias current will change at temperatures 
different than those at which the meter was calibrated.

Injected Current
A circuit may or may not be sensitive to injected current 
depending on the topology of circuit being measured by 
the voltmeter, the impedance level of the circuit, and the 
common mode or normal mode rejection of the meter.
