As a volt-noob whose turn with the roving transfer standard is coming up soon, I have a few questions to start preparing.
1. What's the minimum input impedance that's acceptable for the included voltage standard? The defaults for my 6.5-digit bench meters in multi-megaohm, but if I run three or four of them in parallel, will that load down the standard too much? If I, instead, switch them to gigaohm range, will that be too noisy?
2. Since banana plugs were indicated to be suboptimal for connecting to the standard, how many leads are in the package? How do they connect to DMMs that don't have binding posts, just banana jacks?
3. CatalinaWOW's line regulation figures look like I won't have to worry too much about the power supply for the voltage standard. However, I do have a Power Designs 2010 and an HP 6114A to run it.
4. @cellularmitosis: Were you able to get your K196 logging via GPIB?
5. Has anyone in the loop used
https://www.eevblog.com/forum/metrology/raspberry-pi23-logging-platform-for-voltnuts for logging? I don't know if I'll be able to try it out prior to the package arriving. If not, I'll just log with my laptop.
Any recommendations or links to information on how best to perform the first run is also much appreciated.
