[time-nuts] Is there anyone local to me with an 8.5 digit multimeter?

You likely know this, but clean the resistors with alcohol before measuring.  Finger prints can cause significant errors, particularly on the higher value resistor.Regards, Tom Curlee.Sent via the Samsung GALAXY S®4, an AT&T 4G LTE smartphone

I'm located in Althorne, Essex (CM3 6DT). I'd like to get a couple ofresistors (10 M and 100 M) measured on an 8.5 digit meter, then comparethem to what a 34970A data acquisition unit says. I don't want to spend afortune on very high-end resistors, so bringing the unit to a 3458A, andmeasuring the resistor on two meters reasonably close in time, should beenough.There are some issues with these data acquisition meters, which impactstheir stability. It does not help the fact that there's no S/N on it, so idon't now if it has any particular fault.-- Dr David Kirkby Ph.D C.Eng MIETKirkby Microwave LtdRegistered office: Stokes Hall Lodge, Burnham Rd, Althorne, CHELMSFORD,Essex, CM3 6DT, United Kingdom.Registered in England and Wales as company number 08914892https://www.kirkbymicrowave.co.uk/Tel 01621-680100 / +44 1621-680100_______________________________________________time-nuts mailing list -- time-nuts at lists.febo.comTo unsubscribe, go to http://lists.febo.com/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts_lists.febo.comand follow the instructions there.
