2Features and Functions
Front Panel Measurement Configuration Menus
Each measurement function is configured separately, except for Ω 2W and
Ω4W (which are partially inter–dependent), and frequency and period, (which
share a configuration menu). The configuration settings (for example,
integration, and range) for each measurement function are retained when
switching between functions.
• To enter the configuration menu for any selected measurement function, press
. The menus are context–sensitive; only the options applicable to the
selected function will appear.
• When digit masking is enabled (see “Digit Masking.” on page 42) the DIGIT
MASK submenu will appear before other configuration choices.
• For further information, see “Advanced Configuration Options” on
page 48.
Configuring DC Voltage and DC Current Measurements
For dc voltage and dc current measurements, the menu selections are:
INTEGRATION, RANGE, AUTO ZERO, NULL and NULL VALUE. For dc voltage
measurements only, you can also configure INPUT Z.
• INTEGRATION: Allows you to set the integration time for the measurement in
two ways; in power–line cycles (select NPLC) or in seconds (select APERTURE).
• RANGE: Allows you to select a fixed range (select MANUAL), or let the
multimeter automatically select the range using the autoranging feature
(select AUTO).
• INPUT Z: Allows you to select an input impedance of 10 MΩ (select 10 M) or
>10 GΩ (select HI–Z) for the 100 mVdc, 1 Vdc and 10 Vdc ranges only.
• AUTO ZERO: Allows you to enable for all readings (select ON), enable for one
reading (select ONCE), or disable (select OFF) the auto zero feature, which
subtracts a zero reading from each measurement.
• NULL: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the null measurement
feature, which measures the difference between a stored null value and the
input signal.
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value (if enabled).
