Measurement Time and Resolution
The table below lists the measurement time configuration options available
for the multimeter, for each measurement function.
DC, Resistance and Temperature Measurements
For dc voltage, dc current, resistance and temperature measurements
only
, the multimeter allows for two ways to set integration
time
, both of
which affect the measurement
resolution
. These are in the number of
power–line cycles (NPLCs) and aperture.
Using
NPLCs
sets the number of power line cycles, during which the
multimeter’s analog–to–digital (A/D) converter samples the input signal for
a measurement. The multimeter automatically detects the AC line
frequency, using it and the NPLC selection to set integration time.
Selecting a larger NPLC value yields better resolution; a shorter value
provides for faster measurements. Choices are

These two additional settings are provided on Model 34411A only.
•
To allow for normal mode (line frequency noise) rejection, you must
select an integral number of power line cycles (e.g.
1
,
10
or
100
NPLC).
