General Measurement Configuration
• The specified resolution is used for all measurements on the selected
channel. If you have applied Mx+B scaling or have assigned alarms to
the selected channel, those measurements are also made using the
specified resolution. Measurements taken during the Monitor
function also use the specified resolution.
• Changing the number of digits does more than just change the
resolution of the instrument. It also changes the integration time,
which is the period the instrument's analog-to-digital ( A/D ) converter
samples the input signal for a measurement. See "Custom A/D
Integration Time," on page 103 for more information.
• The MEASure? and CONFigure commands contain an optional
resolution parameter which allows you to specify the resolution.
• The instrument returns to 5
is changed and after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument
Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON
command) does not change the resolution setting.
• Front-Panel Operation: First, select the measurement function on
the active channel. You are automatically guided to the next level of
the menu where you can select the number of digits. The default is
⁄
5 1 digits.
