When interpreting the results of a DC performance test of the SIM983,
always account for the voltmeter accuracy specifications.
4.1.2.2 Recalibration
If the module fails its DC accuracy specifications, return it to Stanford
Research Systems for a new calibration.

Note that the input voltage by itself, or the output voltage by itself, overloads
the amplifier at the chosen gain, but their combination does not.
