Nominal Range Positive Full Scale | Nominal Range Negative Full Scale | Residual Gain Error (ppm of Reading) | Residual Offset Error (ppm of Range) | Offset Tempco (ppm of Range/°C) | Random Noise, σ (μVrms) | Absolute Accuracy at Full Scale (μV) | Sensitivity (μV) |
10 | -10 | 75 | 20 | 57 | 244 | 3,100 | 97.6 |

Note Sensitivity is the smallest voltage change that can be detected. It is a function of noise.
Gain tempco 25 ppm/°C
Reference tempco | 5 ppm/°C |
INL error | 76 ppm of range |
AbsoluteAccuracy = Reading · (GainError) + Range · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainty
GainError = ResidualAIGainError + GainTempco · (TempChangeFromLastInternalCal)
+ ReferenceTempco · (TempChangeFromLastExternalCal)
OffsetError = ResidualAIOffsetError + OffsetTempco ·
(TempChangeFromLastInternalCal) + INLError
Random Noise ⋅ 3
NoiseUncertainty = for a coverage factor of 3 σ and averaging
100 points.
Absolute accuracy at full scale on the analog input channels is determined using the following assumptions:
• TempChangeFromLastExternalCal = 10 °C
• TempChangeFromLastInternalCal = 1 °C
• number_of_readings = 100
• CoverageFactor = 3 σ
For example, on the 10 V range, the absolute accuracy at full scale is as follows:
GainError = 75 ppm + 25 ppm · 1 + 5 ppm · 10 = 150 ppm
OffsetError = 20 ppm + 57 ppm · 1 + 76 ppm = 153 ppm
NoiseUncertainity = = 73 µV
AbsoluteAccuracy = 10 V · (GainError) + 10 V · (OffsetError) + NoiseUncertainity = 3,100 µV

Measurement Category I is for measurements performed on circuits not directly connected to the electrical distribution system referred to as MAINS voltage. MAINS is a hazardous live electrical supply system that powers equipment. This category is for measurements of voltages from specially protected secondary circuits. Such voltage measurements include signal levels, special equipment, limited-energy parts of equipment, circuits powered by regulated lowvoltage sources, and electronics.
Caution This device is rated for Measurement Category I and the voltage across the isolation barrier is limited to no greater than 30 Vrms/60 VDC/42.4 Vpk continuous. These test and measurement circuits are not intended for direct connection to the MAINS building installations of Measurement Categories CAT II, CAT III, or CAT IV.
