Modern digital multimeter accuracy

Modern digital multimeter accuracy specifications are actually quite easy to understand once you become familiar with all the jargon. It is important that you fully understand what is meant by counts, digits and the effects they have on instrument resolution and accuracy. In terms of resolution and accuracy, there is an important distinction to be made here as well – in my experience lots of people get them confused.
In this tutorial we’ll tackle counts and digits first, and this will allow us to very easily interpret the accuracy specifications afterwards.
