A maker's guide to digital multimeter specifications treats accuracy as the largest error the instrument is allowed to show under its specified operating conditions, expressed as a percentage of the reading to which a stated number of counts of the last displayed digit may be added. The guide separates accuracy from precision, which it uses for the ability of a multimeter to return the same reading again and again.
