Transient States Caused by Measurement Condition
Changes
Introduction
The HP 4284A's internal circuit mayenter a transient state due to
changes in measurement conditions. In a transient state, the HP
4284A will not meet its sp ecications. So in this case, a delay time
(DELAY eld) must b e inserted into the measurement cycle until the
HP 4284A is no longer in a transient state. This app endix describ es
the measurement condition changes which cause the transient states,
and lists the delay times required for various transient states. (Refer
to Table G-1.)
