2.2.2.3 Absolute Resistance Accuracy
Absolute resistance accuracy is the ability of the instrument to measure absolute resistance, Rx, using the
internal reference resistors. The following specications apply using the given reference resistor, Rs, and
excitation current.
The 1-year specications include calibration uncertainty, reference resistor drift, ambient temperature sensitiv-
ity, resistance ratio uncertainty, and measurement noise using 1-minute average and a 2-second sample period
(n = 30).
Performance verication is guaranteed for 99% condence level, 1-year specications within the specied
operating temperature range of 15°C to 30°C, maintaining a calibration interval of 6 months for the rst year
and 1 year thereafter.
