4.1.3 Resolution Setting (Digits)

Definition
While measuring DC and resistance, resolution with the number of digits
on a multimeter is visible. You can select the resolution for a specific
measurement. The choices for the resolution setting are: fast 4.5, slow
4.5, fast 5.5, slow 5.5, fast 6.5 and slow 6.5. For a higher accuracy, you
can select 6.5 digit resolution. For a faster measurement, you can select
4.5 digit resolution.
While measuring AC, the default of the resolution is 5.5 digits. Under
frequency and period measurements, the way of the Aperture Time and
the Gate Time are similar to the integration time's. You can set 10ms at
4.5, 100ms at 5.5, and 1s at 6.5.
The resolution setting applies to all math operations under the selected
measurement function. The selected value is stored in a volatile memory
and the setting is only valid for the current measurement function. You
can select different resolution for different measurement function.
Default
The default value for the resolution is slow 5.5 digits and the default
value will be restored when the meter has been turned off or after a
remote interface reset. The user selected value for the resolution setting
is stored in a volatile memory and the setting is only valid for the current
measurement function. Please refer to Table 2-1 on page 24.
How to set the resolution
The resolution can be set either through the front panel or the remote
interface operation.
