Model 2750 Multimeter/Switch System User’s Manual Range, Digits, Rate, Bandwidth, and Filter 4-9
The front panel RATE settings for all but the AC functions are explained as follow:
• FAST sets integration time to 0.1 PLC. Use FAST if speed is of primary impor-
tance (at the expense of increased reading noise and fewer usable digits).
• MEDium sets integration time to 1 PLC. Use MEDium when a compromise
between noise performance and speed is acceptable.
• SLOW sets integration time to 5 PLC. SLOW provides better noise performance at
the expense of speed.
For the AC functions (ACV, ACV dB, and ACI), the RATE key sets integration time and
bandwidth. As listed in Table 4-4, FAST sets NPLC to 1, while the MEDium and SLOW
NPLC settings are ignored (see “Bandwidth,” page 4-10, for details).
From the front panel, setting the rate for one function affects all the other functions. For
example, if you set DCV for medium speed, the other functions will also set to medium
speed. For remote programming, each function can have its own unique rate setting (0.01
to 50 or 60 PLC).
NOTE Rate cannot be set for continuity. It is fixed at 0.01 PLC.
