Table 4-4 Rate And Bandwidth Settings - Keithley 2700 User Manual

4-8 Range, Digits, Rate, Bandwidth, and Filter
The front panel RATE settings for all but the AC functions are explained as follow:
•
•
•
For the AC functions (ACV, ACV dB, and ACI), the RATE key sets integration time and
bandwidth. As listed in
NPLC settings are ignored (see
Table 4-4

Notes: NPLC = number of power line cycles.
From the front panel, setting the rate for one function affects all the other functions. For
example, if you set DCV for medium speed, the other functions will also set to medium
speed. For remote programming, each function can have its own unique rate setting (0.01
to 50 or 60 PLC).
NOTE
FAST sets integration time to 0.1 PLC. Use FAST if speed is of primary impor-
tance (at the expense of increased reading noise and fewer usable digits).
MEDium sets integration time to 1 PLC. Use MEDium when a compromise
between noise performance and speed is acceptable.
SLOW sets integration time to 5 PLC. SLOW provides better noise performance at
the expense of speed.

BW = lower limit of bandwidth (in Hz).
APER = aperture in seconds.
N/A = not available.
X = setting ignored.
Rate cannot be set for continuity. It is fixed at 0.01 PLC.
