That makes life a lot easier. I thought about buying one of these Caddock USF370-10.0M-0.01%-5PPM resistors https://www.digikey.co.uk/product-detail/en/caddock-electronics-inc/USF370-10.0M-0.01-5PPM/USF370-10.0M-T-5PPM-ND/2139005 10 M ohm, 0.01%, 5 ppm/deg C. Then put it in a box. It's not good enough to perform a calibration, but not so far off. The 90-day specification for 10 M ohm of the data logger is +/- 2.1 k ohm, and the 1-year specification is +/- 4.1 k ohm. For 100 M ohm, both the 90-day and 1-year specifications are +/- 910 k ohm. I can't find any close tolerance 100 M ohm resistors around. Vishey makes some 0.5%, but I can't find anyone that stocks a small quantity. Digikey carries them, but the minimum order quantity is 100 pieces, which is totally out of the question. There is a guy from Ukraine selling what are supposedly close tolerance resistors, but I have no idea what they are actually like. -- Dr David Kirkby Ph.D C.Eng MIET Kirkby Microwave Ltd Registered office: Stokes Hall Lodge, Burnham Rd, Althorne, CHELMSFORD, Essex, CM3 6DT, United Kingdom.
