NOTES
1. Reading rates applicable for voltage or current measurements. Auto zero off, autorange off, filter off, display
off, trigger delay = 0, source auto clear off, and b inary reading format.
2. Pass/Fail test performed using one high limit and one low math limit.
3. Includes time to re-program source to a new level before making m easurement.
4. For sink mode, 1pA to 100mA range, accuracy is ±(0.15% + offset*4).
5. Voltage source accuracies are not affected by the remote preamp.
