Interpreting Internal DMM Specifications
24-Hour Accuracy
The 24-hour accuracy specification indicates the internal DMM’s relative
accuracy over its full measurement range for short time intervals and
within a stable environment. Short-term accuracy is usually specified for
a 24-hour period and for a ±1 °C temperature range.
90-Day and 1-Year Accuracy
These long-term accuracy specifications are valid for a 23 °C ± 5 °C
temperature range. These specifications include the initial calibration
errors plus the internal DMM’s long-term drift errors.
Temperature Coefficients
Accuracy is usually specified for a 23 °C ± 5 °C temperature range. This
is a common temperature range for many operating environments. You
must add additional temperature coefficient errors to the accuracy
specification if you are operating the internal DMM outside a 23 °C ± 5
°C temperature range (the specification is per °C).
