It must be a pretty amazing sensor. More power to the engineers. Way back when I designed experiment equipment we always built in more capabilities than were strictly asked for, but this one takes the biscuit. 10^-8 is about two orders better than is typically considered the maximum for electronics in the field - it's a normal limit for calibrators in ultra quiet environments..
