22 Chapter 2 Operating Information
The multimeter again takes a single reading and then stops.
Numeric Parameters Some commands use numeric parameters. A numeric parameter is the actual
value used by the multimeter. We will use the NPLC configuration key to
demonstrate numeric parameters.
Press:
This display shows:
Notice that if you press the up or down arrow key, no parameter choice is
displayed. This means there is no menu and you must enter a number. For
example.
Press:
You have now selected 1 power line cycle of integration time for the A/D
converter. Integration time is the actual time that the A/D converter measures
the input signal. (Integration time is discussed in detail in Chapter 3.)
Exponential Parameters You can also enter numeric parameters using exponential notation. For
example.
Press:
You have now selected 0.1 power line cycles of integration time. At this
point, you should reset the multimeter to return the number of power line
cycles to 10 by pressing:
Multiple Parameters Many commands have more than one parameter. (Multiple parameters are
separated by commas.) We will use the NRDGS command, which has two
parameters, as an example of a command with multiple parameters.
