2016-06-05 Thread Frank Stellmach
This whole discussion does not really apply to the LTZ1000 circuit, that is the bare 7.15..V output, w/o step up amplifier, as all drift parameters were attenuated by orders of magnitude, depending on the resistors, R1-R5. In the eevblog thread, several volt-nuts measured the real dependency,

Could this be caused by ionic contamination of the printed circuit board? The quick test I have used for this is to blow on the board with a straw. In extreme cases solving it usually involved dropping the board into an ultrasonic cleaner with water and a bit of dish soap or TSP, then a rinse in

If you build these you need to build several and age them together and see how the members drift against the population. After 6 months or so you should be able to tell which ones are stable and weed out any drifters. On Wed, May 25, 2016 at 6:42 PM, bownes wrote: > > As Dr K said, traceable and

Heck, if you’re going to make one, you might as well make one GREAT. I would be interested in doing a 4910 version, so to speak. Four in one thermal box and the ability to use them independently or summed and averaged. Similar to the Fluke 730a, I think? Oh, and one of them must be removable
