Hi,
a few weeks ago, I was testing some current transducers and I needed to measure accurately (0.1%) low AC voltages (from 1mVrms up to 1Vrms @50Hz).
As first thing I compared a few of my meters (Agilent 34970A, Keithley 2790, aneng AN8009

) to find the best ones.
To get precise low AC volts I feed stable 100mVrms@50Hz into my trafo decade (with 100ppm resolution).
An8009 was spot-on down to 200uV (as Dave showed in the AN8008 review).
As we know Ag34970A and K2790 use a TRMS chip so they can't measure accurately below 1% or 2% of range. Anyway, agilent performed better but I noticed (confirmed) an issue with K2790: in the 100mV and 10V ranges it was showing a low frequency oscillation (Img. 2) with a period of 1 - 2 minutes and an amplitude of 0.05% of range (regardless of the input voltage). When selecting the 10V range it clicks a relay, so it probably has the same gain (and noise) as the 100mV range.
When a short is applied it shows the usual ofset (80uV) and no noise is detectable (+- a few microvolts).
I've recently repaired the DCV and ohms of this meter (I killed it with inductive kickback) but I suspect it's not related to that since it showed the some noise even before.
Can, someone with a Keithley 2000, 2700, 2790, log a few minutes while measuring a stable 100mV source with the meter in the 10V range (since 1mV in the 100mV range is a bit trickier to generate)?
Thankyou!
