Hi All, I have been a time nut for some time now. I think I've become a Volt nut too! I build the Silicon Chip magazine Voltage reference late last year but didn't have anything to compare it against so I bought a Fluke 732A DC reference standard.
I there a group I can subscribe to that can help me with this?
Can I coin the phrase; A man that has one DC Voltage standard knows how accurate his meter is, whereas a man with two standards is not quite sure!
Regards,

Hi Nic, please goto febo.com/pipermail/volt-nuts; John Ackermann opened a parallel mailing list to time-nuts to have a distinct discussion platform. I'm interested also, what kind of reference is used in the Silicon Chip magazine..is it LTZ1000 based? A single volt-reference would be sufficient, if it is calibrated peridiocally, i.e. if its drift rate is determined during at least 5 calibrations or so. In this case, a certainty of around 1ppm would be achievable. A 2nd reference would be better for keeping a working standard at home while the other is out for calibration. And an ensemble of 4 is good for averaging the VOLT below 1 ppm.
