Specifications are for channel 1 or channel 2 (100 V range on channel 1 only), after 2-hour warm-up, resolution at 7.5 digits
(100 NPLC), with filters off.

After a 2-hour warm-up ±1ºC, 6.5 digits (10 NPLC) with analog filter off digital filter medium (50 readings). 2 minute rms and
24-hour noise typical.
3
All resistance specifications are for channel 1 only, after 2-hour warm-up, resolution at 7.5 digits (100 NPLC) with filters off,
for 4-wire Ω or 2-wire Ω using Null.

For 25 ΩSPRT with triple-point of water check within last 4 hours. With no triple-point of water check, add 0.013ºC for 24-hour,
0.035ºC for 90-day, and 0.055ºC for 1-year specifications.
5
For fixed reference junction. Add 0.3ºC for external reference junction, add 2.0ºC for internal reference junction.
