[3] Into analog bus. System errors are included in the internal DMM measurement accuracy specifications
[4] 50 Ω source, 50 Ω load, differential measurements verified with 4-port network analyzer (Sdd21)
[5] With input resistors bypassed. Bypassing resistors will reduce lifetime of relays. See the rated load relay life characteristics.

[9] Ambient temperature < 30°C
[10] Includes 0.5°C temperature reference sensor and 0.5°C terminal block isothermal gradient error, measured under worst case loading of the mainframe; see User’s Guide for
information on supported external reference sensors
[11] With input protection resistors: 2 x 100 Ω ±5%; 0.5W ; TC = ±200 ppm/°C. The series resistance of the 34923/24/25 limits the use of the 100 Ω range.
[12] Channel resistance is typically < 1.5 Ω but can go as high as 50 Ω when a channel is used in measurement applications with < 10 mA load current. Increased relay channel
resistance for measurements with load currents below 10 mA can occur on cards that have been out of service or following relay inactivity for periods of greater than 1 week.
Switching relays for 2K cycles prior to use may reduce the variation in channel resistance. Applies to the 34921A and 34922A. Keysight recommends the use of 4-wire Ohms for
resistance measurements. For high accuracy voltage measurements, select the DMM input resistance setting of >10 G ohms to minimize the impact of relay contact resistance.
