g. Verify that the measured output (M1--M2) is within the warranted
specification listed in Table 4--1 on page 4--1, by computing %Error as
follows:
%Error =
M

− M

− 2(V

)
2(V

)
× 100
For example, you may measure values of 0.990V for M1 and --0.998V
for M2. With an expected V
E
of 1.0V, you compute the %Error as
follows:
%Error =
0.990V − --0.998V
− 2(1V)
2(1V)
× 100
=
1.988V − 2V
2V
× 100 = --0.6%
5. Record the results on the test record.
6. Disconnect the DMM cable from the amplifer and the probe from the 5T
coil.
