Specific data

This section describes various terminal-specific data.
5.8.1

Measuring currents and voltages

Measuring currents and voltages used
The following measuring currents and voltages are used, depending on the measuring range.
Measuring range
-1 (0 -100 mΩ)
0 (100 mΩ -1 Ω)
1 (1 Ω-10 Ω)
2 (10 Ω-100 Ω)
3 (100 Ω -1 kΩ)
4 (1 kΩ -10 kΩ)
5 (10 kΩ -100 kΩ)
6 (100 kΩ -1 MΩ)
7 (1 MΩ -10 MΩ)

5.8.2

Capacitive and inductive influences

Internal and external capacitive and inductive influences may distort the measurement reading through their
dynamic characteristics. In order to minimize these influences, a delay is set between switching on of the
measuring current and the start of the measurement. The delay time can be set via object 0x80n0:31 [} 168]
and switched on or off for each channel via object 0x80n0:05 [} 168]. The delay time is set in 0x80n0:37 as a
channel-specific value. In the measuring ranges -1 to 5 this value is multiplied with 20 ms, in the measuring
ranges 6 and 7 with 50 ms. The standard delay time is therefore 200 or 500 ms.
The delay time does not become active if two consecutive measurements take place in the same measuring
range and on the same channel.
The delay time largely allows charging processes at the test specimen to complete. Once the charging
process is complete based on the sensitivity setting (steady-state tolerance object 0x80n0:3E [} 168] ), the
steady state bit is set to TRUE.
5.8.3

Heating of the test specimen

In the lower 3 measuring ranges the measuring current may result in heating of the test specimen. In the
upper measuring ranges the current through the test specimen is so low that heating of the test specimen is
not an issue.
Measuring range
-1 (10 mΩ -100 mΩ)
0 (100 mΩ -1 Ω)
1 (1 Ω-10 Ω)
