Check if this vi is ok

Hello... tomorrow i've to give this vi to my teacher.... my pursuit is creating a driver for agilent 34401A. I've to do a casual number of measurements of a signal, then i've to show the result of measurement considering "type A and B uncertainly"!

Could you control if this driver is ok?

In the pics there are the multimeter's specifications...

remember that:

for type b uncertainly we consider only "one year range"

while type a is:

Hi Senedloos,

 

you should read that documentation more carefully!

Accuracy is (typically for DMMs) defined as % of reading + % of range. So when you measure a value of 1V in a 2V range you have an accuracy of let say 0.05% of 1V + 0.02% of 2V = 0.05+0.04V = 90mV. You can't just add all those numbers!

You always have to use the measurement value and range for uncertainty calculation!

Best regards,
GerdW
