Configuring Frequency and Period Measurements
For frequency and period measurements, your configuration menu choices
are:
CONFIGURE
,
GATE TIME
,
RANGE
,
AC FILTER
,
NULL
and
NULL VALUE
.
•
CONFIGURE
: Allows you to select either
FREQUENCY
or
PERIOD
as the
primary measurement.
•
GATE TIME
: Allows you to select one of four choices (
0.001
,
0.01
,
0.1
or
1
)
for measurement gate time, in seconds.
•
RANGE
: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range
using the
autoranging
feature (select
AUTO
), or you may select a fixed
range using
manual ranging
(select
MANUAL
).
•
AC FILTER
: Allows you to select one of three choices (
SLOW
,
MEDIUM
or
FAST
) of bandwidth (ac signal filter), enabling you to optimize
low–frequency accuracy or achieve faster ac settling times.
•
NULL
: Allows you to enable (select
ON
) or disable (select
OFF
) the null
measurement feature, which measures the difference between a stored
null value and the input signal.
•
NULL VALUE
: Allows you to view and edit the null value.
Configuring Temperature Measurements
For temperature measurements, your configuration menu choices are:
PROBE TYPE
,
OFFSET COMP
,
AUTO ZERO
,
INTEGRATION
,
NULL
,
NULL VALUE
,
and
UNITS
.
•
PROBE TYPE
: Allows you to select from four choices (
RTD
–
4W, RTD
–
2W,
THERMISTOR
–
2W
, or
THERMISTOR
–
4W
) of temperature probe type.
•
OFFSET COMP
(
for RTD probes only
): Allows you to enable (select
ON
) or
disable (select
OFF
) the offset compensation feature. With offset
compensation enabled, the multimeter makes a normal temperature
measurement first, followed by a second measurement to determine any
offset voltage in the input circuitry. The resultant displayed
measurement corrects for this offset. Enabling offset compensation
increases measurement time.
•
AUTO ZERO
(
for 2
–
wire thermistor probes only
): Allows you to enable
(select
ON
) or disable (select
OFF
) the auto zero feature, which subtracts
a subsequent zero reading from each measurement taken, to prevent
offset voltages in the multimeter’s input circuitry from affecting
measurement accuracy.
