(free-run), the display shows the moving average (default setting).
Otherwise, the display shows the integrating average.

• When FAST sampling rate is used and measurement current is
small (approx. 100 µA or less), power line noise may cause
instability in measurement values. In such cases, even increasing
the number of samples to average may not provide significant
improvement. To suppress the noise, thoroughly shield the test
object and leads, or change to MEDIUM, SLOW1 or SLOW2
sampling rate.
