  • Page 28: Appendix B - 260 Series Tester Specifications

    Appendix B - 260 Series Tester Specifications Why use the term “Counts”? Slaughter publishes some specifications using COUNTS which allows us to provide a better indication of the tester’s capabilities across measurement ranges. A COUNT refers to the lowest resolution of the display for a given measurement range. For example, if the resolution for voltage is 1V then 2 counts = 2V.
