3. Zeroing methods applied to voltage measurement
3.1 Standard batteries and zener diode references (connection and volt preservation)
As with resistor measurement, the zeroing methods described below are used to determine the value of the ratio between the voltage value to be measured and a known voltage value, known as the standard.
The standard element (working standard) is a zener diode electronic voltage reference. These latest-generation devices often have a stability of one millionth per month; they...
