Ac Noise Rejection on Small Signals
The CR3000 rejects ac power line noise on all voltage ranges except mV5000 and
mV1000 by integrating the measurement over exactly one full ac cycle before A-
to-D
(p. 529)
conversion as listed in table Ac Noise Rejection on Small Signals
(p. 341).

Ac Noise Rejection on Large Signals
If rejecting ac-line noise when measuring with the 1000 mV (mV1000) and 5000
mV (mV5000) ranges, the CR3000 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 CR3000 does not prevent or warn against setting the settling
time beyond the half-cycle limit. Table Ac Noise Rejection on Large Signals
(p.
lists details of the half-cycle ac-power line-noise rejection technique.

Excitation time and settling time are equal in measurements requiring excitation. The CR3000 cannot excite VX
or IX 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 CR3000 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 CR3000 will execute the measurement as follows:
1. CR3000 turns excitation on, waits 50000 µs, and then makes the first measurement.
2. During A-to-
D, CR3000 turns off excitation for ≈170 µs.
3. Excitation is switched on again for one-half cycle, then the second measurement is made.
