[volt-nuts] Precision high resistance measurements / calibration of HP 4339B high-resistance meter.

2018-03-01 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
I pickup up an HP/Agilent (front says HP, rear says Agilent) 4339B high-resistance meter from eBay. The 4339B has an internal supply up to 1000 V, an ammeter to measure current, and obviously computes resistance from Ohms Law. It is supposed to work up to 16 Peta ohms (1.6x10^16 ohms), which would

Hi, also have three AD623(?) IA's I purchased for a heart rate monitor. Can find them as and when needed, pretty sure they are the ones featured in the Hackaday article. At the time if the ECG worked the same circuit would get cloned and used for an EEG as the signals are a lot smaller but in
