Features and Functions
•
Front Panel Operation:
After selecting an applicable measurement function
(
DC V
,
DC I
,
W
2W
,
W
4W
or
TEMP
), press
until
INTEGRATION
is
displayed. press
or
to select
NPLC
, then press
or
to
display
NPLC
on the primary line and a range of choices on the
secondary line. Press
or
to select the desired NPLC value, and
press
. Then step through or exit the configuration menu.
•
Remote Interface Operation:
The following commands set the integration
time in NPLC:
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:NPLC {<PLCs>
>
MIN
>
MAX
>
DEF}
[SENSe:]CURRent[:DC]:NPLC {<PLCs>
>
MIN
>
MAX
>
DEF}
[SENSe:]RESistance:NPLC {<PLCs>
>
MIN
>
MAX
>
DEF}
[SENSe:]FRESistance:NPLC {<PLCs>
>
MIN
>
MAX
>
DEF}
[SENSe:]TEMPerature:NPLC {<PLCs>
>
MIN
>
MAX
>
DEF}
The following command (similar queries for current, resistance and
temperature) queries the integration time setting:
[SENSe:]VOLTage[:DC]:NPLC? [{MIN
>
MAX}]
Refer to the
Agilent 34410A/34411A Programmer’s Reference
for
complete description and syntax for these commands.
Aperture
is the period, measured in
seconds
, during which the
multimeter’s analog–to–digital (A/D) converter samples the input signal for
a measurement. A longer aperture yields better resolution; a shorter
aperture provides for faster measurements. This selectable feature allows
the user to set a specific measurement period, not based on power line
frequency. Selectable values range from 300
3
s to 1 second for the
34410A, and from 100
3
s to 1 second for the 34411A.
•
To allow for normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection, select the
NPLC
option for
INTEGRATION
, with an integral number of NPLCs. Use the
APERTURE
method only if you
need
precise control over the multimeter’s
integration time, in seconds.
