Loading effects

 

Loading of the voltage source becomes a consideration for low resistance loads. As the source resistance increases, the error 
caused by loading increases. 

Figure 17

 shows the method used to determine the percent error due to loading where: 

 

V

 

s

 

 is the programmed analog output of the Model 7706

 

R

 

Lead

 

 is the total lead resistance of the wiring and connections

 

R

 

Load

 

 is the resistance of the user’s circuit

 

V

 

M

 

 is the measured voltage

The voltage actually measured by the meter is attenuated by the voltage divider action of R

 

 

and R

 

I

 

, and it can be calculated as 

follows:

This relationship can be modified to directly compute for percent error:

Using the above equation, to keep loading error within 0.1%, the resistance of the Model 7706 system must be at least 1/999

DAC output errors

 

The DAC output is most accurate when the Model 7706 is operated in stable temperature conditions that are as close as possible 
to the environmental conditions used for calibration. Offset voltage drift over temperature is 1mV/°C. Also, the offset voltage 
value may change when changing from slot 1 to slot 2.
