  • Page 31: Frequency & Period Measurements

    Figure 3-9 2.4 Frequency & Period Measurements DL-2060 uses an on-board counter with 25MHz to measure the frequency (period). The measurement band is from 3Hz to 300kHz (or 333 ms to 3.3 μs) and the measurement voltages range from 100mV to 750 V in AC. The default for “RANGE” is auto-range.

  • Page 32: Continuity Measurements

    2.5 Continuity Measurements DL-2060 uses 1 K Ω range for the continuity measurement. The meter beeps when the test resistance is less than the threshold resistance. The default threshold resistance is 10Ω, but user can set the threshold resistance to anything between 1 Ω and 1 K Ω. The resistance value set by user is stored in a volatile memory and will be cleared after the meter has been turned off.

  • Page 33: Diode Measurements

    2.6 Diode Measurements DL-2060 uses a current source of 1 mA for diode testing. The maximum resolution is 10 μV on a fixed range of 1 V DC. The default threshold voltage is fixed between 0.3 and 0.8 volts and the reading rate is fixed at 0.1 PLC (The voltage bound is adjustable from 0.01V up to 1.2V.).

  • Page 34: Temperature Measurements

    The DL-2060 supports thermocouples and resistance temperature detector (RTD) types of probes. For thermocouples, DL-2060 supports 7 types: E, J, K, N, R, S and T. Please refer to Table 3-1 for their temperature ranges. Be sure that the temperature function is configured for the right sensor type before making measurements (Refer to 3.1.8 for...

  • Page 38: Front Panel Operations

    The purpose of Auto Zero functions are used for minimizing the offset influence on your measurements. When Auto Zero is enabled (no individual setup), DL-2060 takes the input signal reading as a base value and then internally disconnects the input signal, and takes a offset reading (a null offset).
  • Page 39 How to set Auto Zero You can change the Auto Zero setting through the front panel or through the remote interface operation. Front Panel Operation The following steps show how to set Auto Zero directly through the front panel. Be aware of that Auto Zero setting is always affected by the resolution setting. Whenever the resolution is altered, Auto Zero may be accordingly changed accordingly.

  • Page 40: Filter

    3.1.2 Filter Filter is used to remove noises in measurement readings. DL-2060 is equipped with two types of filters: AC filter and digital filter. AC filter is for AC measurements only. It also affects the speed of the multimeter to yield a measurement reading.

  • Page 41: Digital Filter

    DETector:BANDwidth {3|20|200|MIN|MAX} 3.1.2.2 Digital Filter Definition: DL-2060 uses an averaging digital filter to yield a reading for display from a specified number of measurement readings in the past. The past measurement readings are stored in a stack of memory. The number may be in the range of 2 to 100. User may select one of the two modes of digital filter operations: Moving Average and Repeating Average.
  • Page 42 The moving average filter puts the specified number of reading conversions in a first-in, first-out order. The very first measurement reading simply fills up the stack. To yield a reading for display, the filter produces an average of the stacked measurement readings every time a new measurement reading is available and replaces the oldest reading in the stack.

  • Page 43: Resolution Setting (Digits)

    3.1.3 Resolution Setting (Digits) Definition Resolution is the number of digits a multimeter can measure. User can select the resolution for a specific measurement. The choices for the resolution setting are: fast 4 1/2, slow 4 1/2, fast 5 1/2, slow 5 1/2, fast 6 1/2 and slow 6 1/2. For a higher accuracy, user can select 6 1/2 digit resolution.

  • Page 45: Dc Input Resistance

    3.1.4 DC Input Resistance Definition To reduce the effect of loading errors due to the input resistance, DL-2060 allows user to select a much larger input resistance (> 10G Ω) for low input DC voltage (100mV, 1V and 10V) measurements. This feature is only available for DC voltage measurements and it is not applicable to other measurement functions.

  • Page 46: Threshold Resistance (Continuity)

    Remote Interface Operation The automatic input resistance mode can be enabled / disabled. With AUTO OFF (default), the input resistance is fixed at 10MΩ for all ranges. With AUTO ON, the input resistance is set to >10GΩ for the three lowest DC voltage ranges (100mV, 1V and 10V). Use the following command from your PC terminal to disable the auto input DC resistance setting (the result is a fixed input DC resistance at 10M Ω...

  • Page 47: Range (Manual & Auto)

    3.1.6 Range (Manual & Auto) Definition When making measurements except CONT, DIODE and Temperature, you can let the machine choose ranges for you, or you can select the appropriate ranges manually by yourself. The difference between auto-range and manual-range is the settling time. Auto-range is a convenient way for user, but manual-range can usually speed up the process.

  • Page 48: Rate (Integration Time)

    The unit of the integration time is in PLC (power line cycles). One PLC for 60 Hz is 16.67 ms, and for 50 Hz is 20 ms. There are 4 different integration times in DL-2060 for user to select from: 0.02, 0.1, 1 and 10 PLC.

  • Page 59 Defaults The default of the trigger delay is automatic. DL-2060 automatically selects a delay time for you according to the setting of the measurement if you do not specify a delay. A list of the default for each measurement function is shown on Table 4-4. The range for the delay is from 0 to 3600 seconds.
  • Page 60 The internal settings of automatic trigger delay The delay time for automatic trigger delay is determined by the selection of measurement function, range, and the setting of integration time and AC filter speed. The following table shows the default delay time for each measurement setting.

  • Page 111: Remote Interface Reference

    B. Remote Interface Reference B.1 An Introduction to the SCPI Language SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) is an ASCII-based instrument command language designed for test and measurement instruments. SCPI commands are based on a hierarchical structure, also known as a tree system. In this system, associated commands are grouped together under a common node or root, thus forming subsystems.
  • Page 112 The command syntax shows most commands (and some parameters) as a mixture of upper- and lower-case letters. The upper-case letters indicate the abbreviated spelling for the command. For shorter program lines, send the abbreviated form. For better program readability, send the long form. For example, in the above syntax statement, VOLT and VOLTAGE are both acceptable forms.
  • Page 113 ※ Note: If you send two query commands without reading the response from the first, and then attempt to read the second response, you may receive some data from the first response followed by the complete second response. To avoid this, do not send a query command without reading the response.
  • Page 114 Discrete Parameters Discrete parameters are used to program settings that have a limited number of values (like BUS, IMMediate, EXTernal). They have a short form and a long form just like command keywords. You can mix upper- and lower-case letters. Query responses will always return the short form in all upper-case letters.
