OBS The voltage driving the divider is obtained from a 1.22V low
voltage reference diode (LM113) through a 2N2222 transistor
O and resistor string. The voltage across the divider varies with
absolute temperature, keeping the multiplier constant.
L Calibration is simple, requiring only one adj ustment. R4 is used
E to adjust full scale deflection with a 1pA input current. This will
give maximum accuracy over the operating range of currents.

Figure 14 is the test circuit used to measure the settling time.
This circuit uses the "false sum-node" technique. When the
system is Initially set up. the 2000. pot is adjusted until the DC
output voltage to the scope is unchanged when the input is
changed from +10Vto -10V.The 2N4416 FET buffer isolates the
