I not sure this was ever used for production, no known schematic. I'm 
going to use the LTC1150 for my other null meter 845ar. It would be a 
better choice then the fet chopper you are referring to. I'll use the 
LTC1150 for the first stage with the over all feedback and stage two op 
amp to control the feedback for the switch 101b which controls the gain 
from 300 to 9000. will scale this gain between the two op amps. Look at 
the May and August threads. Randy Evans is currently designing a new 
chopper for his HP419.

Need the schematic of the Fluke 845AB 1993 modification.
Thanks,

Sorry I should have said "uv" where ever I said "mv".  Too early in the
morning where I live in the world.

Dallas:

I check my 845ab yesterday, S/N 4470002.  It still has the neon
bulbs/photo resistors chopper.

From what I can observe the Peak to Peak noise on the 1 mv range is
about +/- 0.1 mv, or a total of around 0.2 mv.  As far as temperature drift
I don't know.  Never tried to measure that parameter.

Sure would love to know if the FLUKE modification to the 845ab made in
1993, when the new circuit was put into production, makes the noise lower.
Or better, if your efforts can make the noise lower on the 1 mv range.
