10 s to 65 000 s 100 ms
1. Use the cursor keys and to change from Front Delay: Auto to Front
Delay: [Value].
2. Use the cursor keys to select Front Delay.
3. Use the numerical keypad to change the value.
4. Push  to change and store the new value.
5. Push  to get back to the main input screen.
 (Rear Delay): Sets the delay before the rear measurement is taken in a
scan operation. In Tru Ohms ratio, the rear delay is implemented for
measurements in both the forward current and the reverse current. When the
Product is set as an input of rear only, Tru Ohms also uses the rear delay for the
forward and reverse currents. The delay can be set to Auto (default) or between
0 and 65 000 seconds. See Table 16 for delay setting and resolution.
1. Use the cursor keys and  to change from Rear Delay: Auto to Rear

Use the Scan Operations
When the terminals are set to any one of the scan modes (Front - Rear, Front /
Rear, and (Front - Rear) / Rear), measurements are taken alternately from the
front and rear terminals. These measurements are combined mathematically to
produce a single result. Scan operations are available in these functions: DCV,
ACV, Ohms, Capacitance, and Thermocouple. They are not available in DCI,
ACI, digitize, RF Power, DCI Ext Shunt, ACI Ext Shunt, Frequency Counter, and
PRT.
