can be calculated if the same signal is connected to both "
fx" and "
fy" inputs.
The "
fy" input signal instability estimate is biased and includes the instability
(
systematic error
) of the reference signal and the measurement channel. When using
this method you need to be sure that instability of the reference signal and
measurement channel is much less than that of measured signal.
