Thanks. Excellent explanation in 'Understanding DMM Specifications". I had searched on the Internet and could not find anything to the subject. This is great and what a great resource the applications notes are!
Thanks. Is it correct then, in the 10V example, that the meter could display a reading anywhere from 9.87V to 10.13VDC. In effect an accuracy of 1.3%?
Or, in a different example, say the actual measured voltage is an automobile battery at 12.60VDC. The meter could display a reading anywhere...
How does one interpret the accuracy specification on a DMM.
In this case a 3 1/2 digit LCD display, 2000 count meter.
For example, under DC volts the following is shown for the 20 Volt Range:
+/- 0.8% of reading + 5 digits.
Range: 20.00V
Resolution: 10mV
Using a 10 VDC reading (as an...
