... Multiply this quantity by the measurement result to yield the absolute error for that measurement. Averaging measurements will not reduce (fractional) time base error. The counters exhibit negligible sensitivity to line voltage; consequently the line voltage term may be ignored. Trigger Error External source and input amplifier noise may advance or delay the trigger points that define the beginning and end of a measurement ...
