Temperature—What to Watch Out For

Changes in temperature can affect electrical characteristics. Therefore, the operating temperature is a critical factor in performance. During a measurement calibration, the temperature of the calibration devices must be stable and within the range specified in Table 2-1.

IMPORTANT Avoid unnecessary handling of the devices during calibration because your fingers are a heat source.
