2.0 Specifications
The following specifications should be considered under the environment specified.
To meet its specified accuracy specs, allow a warm up for at least one-half hour.
It is important to note that a DMM specified range is expressed as a numeric value indicating the highest
absolute voltage that can be measured. The lowest value that can be detected, or sensitivity is expressed
by the corresponding resolution for the range.
