  • Page 34: Continuity Measurements

    2.6 Continuity Measurements DL-1060 uses 1kΩ 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 1Ω and 1kΩ.

  • Page 35: Diode Measurements

    2.7 Diode Measurements DL-1060 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 36: Temperature Measurements

    DL-1060 supports thermocouples and resistance temperature detector (RTD) types of probes. For thermocouples, DL-1060 supports 9 types: E, J, K, N, R, S, B, T, and C. Please refer to Table 2-1 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 Sensor Selection for how to make the sensor configuration).

When enabling the 2nd function, you can still set the range and NPLC individually. The setting procedures are as usual.

  • Page 44: Front Panel Operations

    The purpose of Auto Zero function is to minimize the offset influence on your measurements. When Auto Zero is enabled, DL-1060 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 45 How to set Auto Zero The following steps show how to set Auto Zero directly through the front panel. Be aware that Auto Zero setting is always affected by the resolution setting. Whenever the resolution is altered, Auto Zero may be changed accordingly. The relation between resolution and Auto Zero is shown in Table 3-1.

  • Page 46: Filter

    3.1.2 Filter Filter is used to remove noises in measurement readings. DL-1060 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. Digital filter further stabilizes the measurement readings by averaging.

  • Page 47: Digital Filter

    3.1.2.2 Digital Filter Definition: DL-1060 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. You may select one of the two modes of digital filter operations: Moving Average and Repeating Average.
  • Page 48 Default The digital filter is enabled and is in moving average mode with 10 readings by default. Front Panel Operation How to enable/disable digital filter 1. Press SHIFT+DIGITS buttons to switch to the digital filter function as shown in Figure 3-3. 2.

  • Page 52: Threshold Resistance (Continuity)

    3.1.4 Threshold Resistance (Continuity) Definition When testing continuity, the beeper goes off when the measured resistance is less than the threshold resistance. The threshold resistance can be set to any value between 1Ω and 1000Ω. Default The factory default for continuity threshold resistance is 10Ω. Your selection is stored in a volatile memory and the default value will be restored after the meter has been turned off.

  • Page 53: Range (Manual & Auto)

    Definition When making measurements except CONT, DIODE, TCOUPL, and Temperature, DL-1060 will automatically choose a range for you, or you can select the appropriate range manually. The difference between auto-range and manual-range is the settling time. Auto-range is a convenient way for you, but manual-range can usually speed up the process.

  • Page 54: 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 10 different integration times in DL-1060 for user to select from: 0.001, 0.006, 0.02, 0.06, 0.2, 0.6, 1, 2, 10, and 100 PLC.

There are eight math operations: PERCENT, AVERAGE, NULL, LIMITS (HIGH LIMIT/LOW LIMIT), MX+B, dB and dBm testing. They either store data for later use or perform mathematical operations on the readings.

    3.3.1 Percent(%) Definition This mathematical function calculates the ratio of a measurement reading to a specified target value as the form of percentage. The calculation formula is shown below: The specified target value is store in a volatile memory and will be cleared after the meter has been turned off or a remote interface reset.

  • Page 74: Average (Avg/Min/Max/Count)

    3.3.2 Average (AVG/MIN/MAX/COUNT) Definition When the Average function is enabled, DL-1060 takes in a series of readings from the measurements, stores the minimum and maximum readings in the memory, and then calculates the average value of all readings and reading counts. The number of readings taken since Average operation is enabled is recorded as well.

    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 113 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 114 SCPI Command Terminators A command string sent to the multimeter must terminate with a <new line> character. The IEEE-488 EOI (end-or-identify) message is interpreted as a <new line> character and can be used to terminate a command string in place of a <new line> character.

    B.9 The SCPI Status Reporting Status registers provide the status mechanism described in IEEE488.2. And there are three register groups with various equipment conditions recorded by the status system. They are the Status Byte Register, the Standard Event Register and the Questionable Data Register. The Status Byte Register collects and records high-level summary information which is reported in other register groups.

To clear an event register will clear the according bits in the status byte summary register. And to read all messages in the output buffer, including all pending queries, will clear the message available bit.

Users execute a *CLS (clear status) command. ⚫ To query the standard event and questionable data registers will clear only the separate ⚫ bits in the summary register. The following conditions will clear the enable register. Users turn on the power, and have set the DMM previously by using the *PSC 1 command.

    Visual C++ This C++ sample application is a Win32 console application. It illustrates how to use the TEXIO IOUtils command. A Win32 console application is a Win32 application that uses text-based input and output, not a graphical interface. This allows you to quickly create a Win32 application by using simple input and output functions.
