The Cropice only has 1.0 and 1.018etc volt outputs, so only of use as a transfer from stan dard cells. > From: david.partri...@perdrix.co.uk > To: volt-nuts@febo.com > Date: Sat, 15 Dec 2012 02:02:18 + > Subject: [volt-nuts] Cropico ESC1 versus Tinsley 5646A > > B

[volt-nuts] Cropico ESC1 versus Tinsley 5646A
