Agilent Technologies 34970A Switch User Manual


 
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

2
digits when the measurement function
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

For temperature measurements, go to the menu and select the number
of digits displayed past the decimal point on the selected channel.
