reading rate and scan interval that is an exact multiple of the power line period and

cause line frequency noise to be aliased to a very low frequency, where it appears

as drift, or instability, in the readings. For example, if the instrument is set to

Reading Rate = Fast and a scan interval of 100 ms, line frequency noise is aliased

because the scan interval is an exact multiple of the period of the power line.
One way to see whether your measurement setup has a potential problem like this

is to pick a scan interval like 98 ms or 102 ms, that is not an exact multiple of the

power line period. If the readings appear noisier with this scan interval than with

an interval of 100 ms, there is a problem with the measurement setup. Possible

solutions to this problem are:
1.

Use shielded wiring to prevent power line noise pickup from mixing with the

signal. Be sure the shield is connected to an earth ground.

2.

Route signal wiring away from power mains wiring.

3.

Remove noise from the signal using filters before the signal is applied to the

instrument.

4.

Select Reading Rate = Slow, which allows the instrument to filter out the

noise.

5.

Ensure that the chassis of the instrument is connected to earth ground. This is

desirable for reasons of safety as well as noise.

Crosstalk Considerations

The accuracy of low voltage measurements (e.g., thermocouples), low voltage ac

measurements and resistance measurements above 3 k

Ω

can be greatly affected by

undesired pickup from ac voltage sources (crosstalk). To reduce the effects of

crosstalk, consider each of the following:
1.

Reading Rate

Do not use Reading Rate = Fast when mixing V ac or

frequency inputs with low level V dc, thermocouple, and/or resistance inputs.

If you must use Reading Rate = Fast, compare a set of readings taken with

Reading Rate = Slow against a set of readings taken on the Fast rate to

determine the effects of crosstalk on your setup. Measurements made at the

Fast reading rate are more susceptible to crosstalk than readings taken at the

Slow reading rate.

Note

When you use the Fast rate, it is very easy to get noise into your

readings. The Fast rate makes it possible to look at rapidly changing

events, but it requires extreme care to keep the readings clean.

2.

Shielded Wiring

Crosstalk can occur outside the instrument as well as inside

the instrument. Use shielded wiring and tie the shields to an earth ground to
