Step 5
Enable the digital filter
If the filter is not on, press FILTER to enable the digital filter.
The type of filter and number of readings selected is dis-
played momentarily, for example:
Filter Enabled
Digital = AVG(10)
The reading should now be less noisy. The digital filter can
be disabled by pressing the FILTER key again.
Step 6
View the multiple displays
Each measurement function has a series of front panel dis-
plays. The displays are accessed with the NEXT DISPLAY
and PREV DISPLAY keys.
1. From the normal display of DC voltage, press the NEXT
DISPLAY key once to also view AC voltage and fre-
quency measurements of the signal, for example:
+000.0000 mVDC
+000.000 mVAC +000.00 Hz
2. Return to the normal DCV display by pressing PREV
DISPLAY, or view the remaining DCV displays by
pressing NEXT DISPLAY, which wraps around to the
normal display. The DC voltage multiple displays were
shown in Table 2-1.
NOTE
Pressing and holding either the NEXT
DISPLAY or PREV DISPLAY key returns
to the normal display.
2.5.2 Storing DC voltage readings example
This example assumes the Model 2001 is reset to its bench
defaults, as outlined in paragraph 2.4. It also assumes the in-
strument is connected to a DC voltage source, and the front
panel displays on-scale readings.
Step 1
Configure for high speed measurements
To make high speed readings of a voltage source, change the
configuration of DC voltage measurements, as follows:
1. Press CONFIG-DCV to view the DCV configuration
menu:
CONFIGURE DCV
SPEED FILTER RESOLUTION
2. Select SPEED from the menu, then press ENTER. The
multimeter displays the following menu:
DCV MEASUREMENT SPEED
NORMAL FAST MEDIUM HIACCURACY
SET-SPEED-EXACTLY SET-BY-RSLN
3. Using the cursor keys, select the FAST option, then
press ENTER. Since the resolution is set to AUTO,
where it defaults to a value appropriate for the speed, it
will be set to 4.5d automatically.
4. Press EXIT to return to the normal display.
Step 2
Store the readings
To store readings in the instrument’s data storage buffer, per-
form the following:
1. Press the STORE key. The following message is dis-
played:
STORE 00100 READINGS
Use , , ▲, ▼, ENTER,EXIT, or INFO
2. The factory default number of readings to store is 100.
Use the cursor and RANGE keys to make changes. The
maximum possible number of readings depends on the
following:
• The data group selected for storage (full or compact).
This is selected under the CONFIG DATA STORE
menu.
• The memory option (STD, MEM1, or MEM2).
3. Press ENTER to start storing readings. The asterisk an-
nunciator lights to indicate a data storage operation. The
bottom line of the display counts up the data storage
points.
Step 3
Recall the readings
To recall the stored readings, perform the following:
1. Press RECALL to view the readings. The following
message is displayed with the cursor on the least signif-
icant digit of the reading number:
+00.00000 VDC
Rdg#+00000 @Time=+000.000000 sec
2. Use the RANGE ▲ and ▼ keys to increment and decre-
ment the reading number and scroll through the buffer.
3. The NEXT and PREV DISPLAY keys can be used
while recalling readings to access additional data, as
shown in Table 2-4.
