Measurement Method: The effective exposure time value is calculated as the quotient of the charge and
average current measurement values. A minimum exposure duration of 3.5 seconds is required to
produce an effective exposure time measurement value.

B.3 SETUP

B.3.1 Making Non-Timed Exposure Measurements

With Automatic Leakage Compensation Disabled
The instrument must be manually reset before each exposure when automatic leakage compensation is
disabled.
Procedure
•
Hold RESET/MEASURE for one second just before making the exposure to reset the instrument.
Note that the instrument displays the "Rst" annunciator while the hardware is being reset.
•
Wait for the reset to complete.
•
Make the exposure.
The exposure measurements will be displayed but may drift due to leakage. Repeat this sequence for
every exposure.
With Automatic Leakage Compensation Enabled
In addition to compensating measurements for leakage, the instrument holds the exposure
measurements and automatically resets after each exposure when automatic leakage compensation is
enabled.
