The following table shows the relationship between integration time,
measurement resolution, number of digits, and number of bits.
The instrument selects 1 PLC 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 integration time setting.
Front Panel Operation: DMM or Channel (Configure) > INTEGRATION > TIME
First, select the measurement function on the active channel. You are
automatically guided to the next level of the menu where you can select
a specific integration time.
Remote Interface Operation: You can set the integration time using the
SENSe commands. For example, the following command specifies an
aperture time of 2 ms for resistance measurements on channel 2001.
SENS:RES:APER 0.002,(@2001)
