Hioki RM3542 - Setting Pre-Measurement Delay

4.2 Setting Pre-Measurement Delay
42
This setting specifies the delay between trigger signal input and the start of measurement.
Adjust this setting to delay measurement until the measured value has time to stabilize, so that even
if the sample is connected after triggering, measurement starts only after the specified delay. The
delay can be set by two methods, as follows.
4.2 Setting Pre-Measurement Delay
The DELAY1 setting is common to all ranges. The default set-
ting is 0 ms (corresponding to trigger signal input at the same
time as probe contacts become stable). Setting DELAY1 affects
measurements in all ranges.
Set DELAY1
Adjust this setting to allow for
probe contact mechanical stabili-
zation.
Set DELAY2 to the time needed for stabilization after measure-
ment current is applied, such as may be required for inductive
components. The setting affects only the selected range. The
default setting is 0 ms (corresponding to resistance measure-
ment of non-inductive components).
Set DELAY2
Adjust this setting to allow for sta-
bilization of the measurement
sample.

and is different for each measurement range.
