Elapsed Time: Measures
and
stores time from sweep trigger to
measurement complete for each step
of
sweep.
RANGING:
Source:
Auto-ranging through keypad entry; fixed range selection
using rotary dial
and
SELECT
keys
(DC
function). Fully
pro-
grammable
in
SWEEP
function.
Measure: Auto
or
fixed range. Fixed range selection made
by
choice
of
COMPLIANCE value.
FILTER: Takes n measurements, calculates
and
outputs average (n
=
2, 4, 8,
16,
or
32, selectable).
SUPPRESS: Subtracts displayed measurement from subsequent read-
ings.

points) of source, delay,
and
measure values, elapsed times,
and
sweep parameters.
