A.3.2 Internal Processing Time (Typical Value)
1. Source processing time
The time from external trigger signal input to the time the source value (pulse value or base value)
starts to change.
For the time from when the source value changes to when the source value settles, refer to Section
5.2.8.2.
Conditions: Source range; fixed
Measurement range; fixed, Trigger mode; HOLD or external trigger
Source delay; 30 µs
2. Switching time
• Source function change time: 5 ms
• Source range change time
Voltage source function: 8 ms
Current source function: 24 ms
• Measurement range change time
Voltage-measurement function: 8 ms
Current measurement function: 35 ms
• Measurement auto range processing time
Voltage measurement function: Integration time + 8 ms
Current measurement function: Integration time + 35 ms
Source mode Source value
Execution
time
Pulse Pulse value 60µs
DC Sweep Start value 1 ms
Step value 60 µs
Pulse Sweep* Start (base) value 1 ms
Step value 60 µs
*The pulse sweep start value represents the time from trigger to base value generation.
(Time from the base value generation to the start pulse generation varies depending on the
Hold time.)
