+ (K

A = Basic Inductance Accuracy Factor
from graph.
For Q < 10, multiply the basic
accuracy factor by (1 + 1/Q).
If the unit is in the constant voltage
(CV) mode, double the basic
accuracy factor.
K
i
= Integration Time Factor (see K

Table below)
K
v
= Voltage Error Factor (see K
v
table
below).
K
h
, K
l
= Extreme Range Error Term (see
K

, K

table below).
Accuracy of Q = ± [(Al / 100) x (1 + Q2)]
A
l
= the accuracy of the Inductance
measurement (above)
Note that the accuracy of Q is specified as a
magnitude, NOT as a percent.
