pA reading the same as Agilent mv reading

I was watching the millivolt reading on the 6890GC as the peak eluted and the reading was 2650mv.

Now the pA reading on my Empower 3 display software screen is almost the same 2640.

Interesting because I did not think they would be so close.

1 Isn't it the units the other way around: pA unit (correct) on the GC and mV unit (incorrect) on Empower?
2 Actually, they should be exactly the same since Three is only one AD-converter. (However due to update issues when you are tracing the numbers they will not be in practice.)
