Frequency
Gate Times ............................................................. Programmable to 1 s, 100 ms, and 10 ms
Measurement Method ............................................. Flexible counting technique. AC-coupled input using the ac voltage
measurement function.
Settling Considerations........................................... When measuring frequency or period after a dc offset voltage change,
errors may occur. For the most accurate measurement, wait up to
1 second for the input blocking capacitor to settle.
Measurement Considerations ................................. To minimize measurement errors, shield inputs from external noise
when measuring low-voltage, low-frequency signals.
