If rejecting ac-line noise when measuring with the 2500 mV (
mV2500
) and 5000
mV (
mV5000
) ranges, the CR1000 makes two fast measurements separated in
time by one-half line cycle. A 60 Hz half cycle is 8333 µs, so the second
measurement must start 8333 µs after the first measurement integration began.
The A-to-D conversion time is approximately 170 µs, leaving a maximum input-
settling time of approximately 8160 µs (8333 µs – 170 µs). If the maximum
input-settling time is exceeded, 60 Hz line-noise rejection will not occur. For 50
Hz rejection, the maximum input settling time is approximately 9830 µs (10,000
µs – 170 µs). The CR1000 does not prevent or warn against setting the settling
time beyond the half-cycle limit. Table

Excitation time and settling time are equal in measurements requiring excitation. The CR1000 cannot excite
VX
excitation
terminals during A-to-D conversion. The one-half-cycle technique with excitation limits the length of recommended excitation and
settling time for the first measurement to one-half-cycle. The CR1000 does not prevent or warn against setting a settling time
beyond the one-half-cycle limit. For example, a settling time of up to 50000 µs can be programmed, but the CR1000 will execute
the measurement as follows:
1. CR1000 turns excitation on, waits 50000 µs, and then makes the first measurement.
2. During A-to-
D, CR1000 turns off excitation for ≈170 µs.
3. Excitation is switched on again for one-half cycle, then the second measurement is made.
Restated, when the CR1000 is programmed to use the half-cycle 50 Hz or 60 Hz rejection techniques, a sensor does not see a
continuous excitation of the length entered as the settling time before the second measurement — if the settling time entered is
greater than one-half cycle. This causes a truncated second excitation. Depending on the sensor used, a truncated second excitation
may cause measurement errors.
Signal-Settling Time
Settling time allows an analog voltage signal to settle closer to the true magnitude
prior to measurement. To minimize measurement error, signal settling is needed
when a signal has been affected by one or more of the following:
•
A small transient originating from the internal multiplexing that connects a
CR1000 terminal with measurement circuitry
