The terms
MIN
and
MAX
often appear as parameter choices in a
command’s syntax.
MIN
selects the minimum numeric value for that
parameter.
MAX
selects the maximum numeric value. This
eliminates the need to look up specific numbers in the manual.
•
In this program, note that
MAX
in the
CONFigure
command selects
the least resolution and sets the aperture time to 10
µ
s (see Table 4-5
on page 92). When measurement speed is critical, readings should
be stored in mainframe memory first, rather than returned directly to
the output buffer.
•
The total number of readings which can be stored depends on the
amount of memory available. Each reading stored will consume four
bytes of memory.
•
To increase the (throughput) speed at which measurement data is
transferred from the multimeter to the computer by the
FETCh?
command, the multimeter’s output data format should be set to
REAL,64
or
REAL,32
(see “Changing the Data Format” on page 58).
•
The 13 kHz reading rate must be reduced to 12.82 kHz when the
sample count is greater than 32 k. Setting the
SAMP:TIM
to 78
µ
s
gives a reading rate of 12.82 kHz and allows the sample count to be
greater than 32 k.
