Configuring Frequency And Period Measurements; Configuring Temperature Measurements - Agilent Technologies L34410A User Manual

2 Features and Functions

Configuring Frequency and Period Measurements

For frequency and period measurements, your menu selections are: CONFIGURE,
GATE TIME, RANGE, AC FILTER, NULL and NULL VALUE.
• CONFIGURE: Allows you to select either FREQUENCY or PERIOD as the primary
• GATE TIME: Allows you to select one of four choices (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, or 1) for
• RANGE: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range using
• AC FILTER: Allows you to select from three choices (3 HZ : SLOW,
• NULL: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the null measurement
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value (if enabled).

Configuring Temperature Measurements

For temperature measurements, your menu selections are: PROBE TYPE, OFFSET
COMP, AUTO ZERO, INTEGRATION, NULL, NULL VALUE, and UNITS.
• PROBE TYPE: Allows you to select from four choices (RTD–4W, RTD–2W,
• OFFSET COMP (for RTD probes only): Allows you to enable (ON) or disable
• AUTO ZERO: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the auto zero feature
• INTEGRATION: Allows you to set the integration time for the measurement in

20 HZ : MEDIUM, or 200 HZ : FAST). The ac filter allows you to trade off
low–frequency bandwidth versus ac settling time.
feature, which measures the difference between a stored null value and the
input signal.
THERMISTOR–2W, or THERMISTOR–4W) of temperature probe type.
(OFF) the offset compensation feature. With offset compensation enabled,
the multimeter makes a normal temperature 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.
for 2–wire temperature measurements. This feature subtracts a subsequent
zero reading from each measurement.
Note that 4–wire temperature measurements are automatically made
with auto zero always on.
