Configuring Ac Voltage And Current Measurements; Configuring Resistance Measurements - Agilent Technologies 34410A User Manual

2 Features and Functions

Configuring AC Voltage and Current Measurements

For ac voltage and current measurements, your configuration menu
choices are: AC FILTER, RANGE, NULL and NULL VALUE.
• AC FILTER: Allows you to select one of three choices (SLOW, MEDIUM or
• RANGE: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range
• NULL: Allows you to enable (select ON) or disable (select OFF) the null
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value.

Configuring Resistance Measurements

For 2–wire and 4–wire resistance measurements, your configuration menu
choices are: INTEGRATION, RANGE, OFFSET COMP, AUTO ZERO, NULL and NULL VALUE.
• INTEGRATION: Allows you to set the integration time for the measurement
• RANGE: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range
• OFFSET COMP: Allows you to enable (select ON) or disable (select OFF) the
• AUTO ZERO: Allows you to enable for all readings (select ON), enable for
• NULL: Allows you to enable (select ON) or disable (select OFF) the null
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value.

FAST) of bandwidth (ac signal filter), enabling you to optimize
low–frequency accuracy or achieve faster ac settling times.
using the autoranging feature (select AUTO), or you may select a fixed
range using manual ranging (select MANUAL).
measurement feature, which measures the difference between a stored
null value and the input signal.
in two ways; in power–line cycles (select NPLC) or in seconds (select
APERTURE).
using the autoranging feature (select AUTO), or you may select a fixed
range using manual ranging (select MANUAL).
offset compensation feature. With offset compensation enabled, the
multimeter makes a normal resistance measurement first, followed by a
second measurement to determine any offset voltage in the input
circuitry. The resultant displayed measurement corrects for this offset.
Enabling offset compensation increases measurement time.
one reading (select ONCE), or disable (select OFF) the auto zero feature,
which subtracts a subsequent zero reading from each measurement
taken, to prevent offset voltages in the multimeter's input circuitry from
affecting measurement accuracy.
