SPEED
The SPEED parameter sets the integration time of the A/D
converter, the period of time the input signal is measured (al-
so known as aperture). It is discussed in paragraph 3.4.1, DC
and AC voltage. Only the differences for DC and AC current
are noted here.
The SET-BY-RSLN parameter optimizes the integration
time for the present resolution setting. The defaults for set-
by-resolution integration times of DCI and ACI are listed in
Table 3-13.

Notes:
1. For normal DC current, if the integration time is SET-BY-RSLN
and the resolution is AUTO, the integration time will be 1.0 PLC
and the resolution 6.5 digits.
2. For DC in-circuit current, the integration time setting is ignored.
3. For AC current, if the integration time is SET-BY-RSLN and the
resolution is AUTO, the integration time will be 1.0 PLC and the
resolution 5.5 digits.
