DESCRIPTION
The Set Measuring Mode (
NetScan units:
Normal Mode (for Line Cycle Integration and High-Speed Multi-Channel applications). Normal mode is the
system default. In this mode each channel is averaged over a selected number of samples as specified with the
Set Averaging Weight (
automatically enable line cycle noise rejection.
Thermocouples and DC Volts are averaged over the specified number of samples. For AC Volts, the root mean
square (RMS) is computed over the specified number of samples.
High-speed, Single-Channel Mode (Burst mode) is used to sample a single channel at a frequency specified by
the Set Frequency (
specified by the Set Counts (
Refer to Measuring Mode section of Appendix C for more detailed information.
