Metering Keys - Agilent Technologies 6631B User Manual

Metering Keys

Metering keys control the metering functions of the dc source. When the unit is operating in front panel
meter mode, all front panel measurements are calculated from a total of 2048 readings taken at a 46.8
microsecond sampling rate. Therefore, the total acquisition time for a single front panel measurement is
about 100 milliseconds. Refer to "Making Front Panel Measurements" for more information.
NOTE: You can vary the both the sampling rate and the number of data points in each
measurement when controlling the unit over the GPIB interface. (Refer to chapter 3 in
the Programming Guide).
Press this key to access the meter menu list. Also use this key to exit a menu at
Meter
any time and return to meter mode.
