Fluke 8808A 5 1/2 Digit Multimeter voltmeter drifiting

[sidA30]

Hi,

I purchased a Fluke 8808A and everything appeared to be ok.

Just sent it off to be calibrated, and now when open-circuit the volt meter drifts (DC) by around 0.2 mV/s initially and slows down around 10mV to around 0.001 mV/s like charging a capacitor. Final resting place seems to be about 20 mV after 30 mins.

Is this something I should be concerned about and would this be caused/fault by the calibration house?

Thanks.

could be simply  let it warm for 1 hour

and for open circuit,  the probes could act as antennas,  the input circuitry (no probes) could slightly charge up  ....



if the calibration passed and you are in spec,  i would not worry
