To connect an ac source to the module's screw terminals, see page 21.
Low Frequency Timeout
The instrument uses three different timeout ranges for frequency
measurements. The instrument selects a slow, medium, or fast timeout
based on the input frequency that you specify for the selected channels.
Input Frequency
3 Hz to 300 kHz (Slow)
20 Hz to 300 kHz (Medium)
200 Hz to 300 kHz (Fast)
The instrument selects the medium timeout (20 Hz) when the
function is changed or after a Factory Reset (*RST command).
An Instrument Preset (SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset
(SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.
Front-Panel Operation: First, select the frequency function on the
active channel. Then, go to the Advanced menu and select the slow
timeout (3 Hz), medium timeout ( 20 Hz ), or fast timeout (200 Hz) for
the active channel. The default is the medium timeout value.
LF 3 HZ:SLOW
Remote Interface Operation: Specify the lowest frequency expected in
the input signal on the specified channels. The instrument selects the
appropriate timeout based on the frequency you specify (see table
above). The MEASure? and CONFigure commands automatically
select the 20 Hz (medium) timeout.
