[volt-nuts] 7081 resistance accuracy issue

[David C. Partridge]

How long had the meter been powered on for when you started the test?  Think days rather than hours to stabilise.

Hi everyone, 

As part of my checking over of the behaviour of the 7081 I ran "mode,testk" and "nines=8" overnight, the result is a swing larger than I would expect!

max 166.00455
min 166.00040
this means a 25 ppm shift 

The circuit is meant to generate a constant current, so if that constant current can vary by 25ppm over a 20-23 degree house temperature then it is only accurate to 25ppm for resistance measurement except when used as a transfer standard.

anyone else find a similar shift?
