The Datron 1081/1082 are 7-1/2 digit meters. The zeners are two pair of two zeners in series to get the ref voltage up high enough. In the two 1081s I had, they worked quite well, ref’d to the two Fluke 732As I had at the time. But not 8-1/2 digit grade, I don’t think. I have no idea what the

Jan, Thanks for a good summary f the pros/cons. Of course the LTZ1000 is much closer to the current state of the art, but the REF102 is far easier to use and to calibrate. I'm definitely not shooting for sub-ppm performance, if I can build anything that stays within (say) 20 ppm long-term,

I believe the 1281 uses the LTZ1000. The datasheet mentions dual references. My 4920 has both a ltz1000 and a lm399. I think you can find pics of the 1281 dual ref setup on eevblog. I would not be surprised if the 8508a has a similar configuration. Todd On Saturday, December 20, 2014, Richard
