There are four delays per
measure
. The CR1000 processes the four sub-
measurements into the reported measurement. In cases of excitation reversal,
excitation time for each polarity is exactly the same to ensure that ionic sensors do
not polarize with repetitive measurements.

Ground Reference Offset Voltage
When
MeasOff
is enabled (=
True
), the CR1000 measures the offset voltage of
the ground reference prior to each
VoltSe()
or
TCSe()
measurement. This offset
voltage is subtracted from the subsequent measurement.
From Background Calibration
If
RevDiff
,
RevEx
, or
MeasOff
is disabled (=
False
), offset voltage compensation
is continues to be automatically performed, albeit less effectively, by using
measurements from the automatic background calibration. Disabling
RevDiff
,
RevEx
, or
MeasOff
speeds up measurement time; however, the increase in speed
comes at the cost of accuracy because of the following:
1
RevDiff
,
RevEx
, and
MeasOff
are more effective.
2 Background calibrations are performed only periodically, so more time skew
occurs between the background calibration offsets and the measurements to
which they are applied.
Note
When measurement duration must be minimal to maximize measurement
frequency, consider disabling
RevDiff
,
RevEx,
and
MeasOff
when CR1000
module temperatures and return currents are slow to change.
Time Skew Between Measurements
Time skew between consecutive voltage measurements is a function of settling
and integration times, A-to-D conversion, and the number entered into the
Reps
parameter of the
VoltDiff()
or
VoltSE()
instruction. A close approximation is:
time skew = settling time + integration time + A-to-D conversion time
1
+
reps
2
1 A-to-D conversion time, which equals 15 µs.
2
If
Reps
>
1
(multiple measurements by a single instruction), no additional time
is required. If
Reps
=
1
in consecutive voltage instructions, add 15 µs per
instruction.
