Re: A precision voltage calibrator
Sorry all, I didn't mean to stop an interesting thread!
I bought my voltage reference, I admit, a few years ago, as I was not interested in making something that I could buy so easily and cheaply. I researched voltage standards quite thoroughly via Voltnuts etc. And I learned a lot, but realised that I was not trying to replace a professional calibration lab.
The tiny standard cost me about £15 and gives me a reasonably accurate 5.000V. I was even able to test it against a calibrated voltmeter just in case. And it gets used at my radio club to check other members' meters of all sorts.
But I have to put my hand up that I love making and restoring testgear normally and probably spend as much time building and mending it as using it.
So each to his own, as you so rightly say. And on this forum, it's the diversity and depth of knowledge that is so extraordinary. Long may it continue.
Sorry again if I truncated an interesting thread.
All the best
Jere
