[volt-nuts] Serious problems fluke 731A, 720 and solartron

The 7061 input resistance loads the 720A output. 10 Gohm should result
approximately 4ppm error.

IF the 720A is working perfectly, the input resistance of your 7061
(including connection cables) is lower than specified. Could be dust,
fingerprints...
