If you are looking for sub 10 Hz noise you could just null bridge two of them with an ordinary multimeter. On Fri, Jul 1, 2016 at 8:47 AM, John Ackermann N8UR wrote: > I have several supposedly low noise bench power supplies that I want to > check out. They seem to work well but

In the past when I did this, I used a high resolution digital voltmeter like a Fluke 8505A in sample mode with a simple 10 Hz low pass filter. I took samples for 10 seconds to get down to 0.1 Hz and calculated the standard deviation to get RMS noise. I made a recent post about this in connection
