Front Panel Operation - 5
39
Metering Keys
Metering keys control the metering functions of the dc source. When the unit is operating in front panel
meter mode, all front panel measurements are calculated from a total of 2048 readings taken at a 46.8
microsecond sampling rate. Therefore, the total acquisition time for a single front panel measurement is
about 100 milliseconds. Refer to “Making Front Panel Measurements” for more information.
NOTE: You can vary the both the sampling rate and the number of data points in each
measurement when controlling the unit over the GPIB interface. (Refer to chapter 3 in
the Programming Guide).
Press this key to access the meter menu list. Also use this key to exit a menu at
any time and return to meter mode.
