[volt-nuts] HP 3456A Setup

[Marvin E. Gozum]

The statistical functions work well to enhance less accurate PLC 
without having to endure slower reading speeds; the more samples you 
obtain the more the true value regresses to the mean and correct per 
measurement variations. Empirically I find that the stat functions 
give readings very close to the best PLC but avoids the slower update rates.

Variance is very helpful once converted to standard deviation to 
determine the most reliable LSD and the spread of the measurements 
obtained [ sq. root of variance = standard deviation.]
