Trade-Off Speed Vs Accuracy - Agilent Technologies B1500A Training Manual

Class Exercise
Trade Off Speed vs Accuracy
You can trade off speed vs accuracy by varying the LIMITED range setting or the integration time
setting.
The 100 nA range will speed up the test but you will lose low-end resolution. Try setting LIMITED
to 10 pA range or 100 pA range. Accuracy increases but speed slows considerably.
For the integration time, small factor value will speed up but accuracy decreases.
Also measurement speed will be changed by the Mode setting. Set the mode which provides
applicable measurement results.
Change LIMITED range
from 10 pA to 100 nA.
Change Factor from 16 to 1.
Change Mode from PLC to AUTO
to NORMAL.
