The resistors are MR102 series 0.01% 1/8W wirewound: 34461A: 10.000 82 +/- 0.000 90 3456A: 10.000 98 +/- 0.000 58 Using 90 day specs for the 61A and 90 day plus 0.0004% per month for the 56A. Yes, the 3456A resistance specs are better than the shiny new 34461A. I also compared the DC voltage ranges from 0.1 to 1000V and other than on the 1KV range, results were within 10ppm. Still, given the 3456A spec sheet says add .12(input voltage/1000)^2 % on the 1KV range, I can't complain; I got 999.984 on the 61A and 1000.062 on the 56A. I'm pretty sure that the superscript 2 in the spec meant squared, not that it matters for 1000/1000. Now has anyone calibrated a Fluke 343A? The instructions in the manual are entertaining. They tell you to adjust the 1000V range to +/- 1mV, but the post calibration check says that a freshly calibrated unit should be +/- 100uV at the 1000V setting.
