7½ Digit Graphical Sampling Multimeter Reference Manual Section 2:
DMM7510-901-01 Rev. B / May 2015 2-135
Using Quick Setups
The Quick Setup menu includes options that allow you to change the measure function, adjust the
performance, and select Quick Setups.
The measure functions available through the QuickSet menu include the same functions that are
available through the front-panel FUNCTION key.
Using the Performance slider
Use the Performance slider to adjust for performance (resolution versus speed).
When you adjust the Performance slider, the instrument changes settings based on where you
position the slider. As you increase reading speed, you lower the amount of resolution. As you
increase resolution, you decrease the speed. These settings take effect the next time measurements
are made.
Note that if the instrument is set to the DC voltage, DC current, digitize voltage, or digitize current
function, changing the speed may change the function from the DC voltage or DC current to the
digitize voltage or digitize current function and vice versa.
When the temperature function is selected, the readings per second are shown as a range to
accommodate the various transducer types.
Making a measurement with the QuickSet functions
To use a Quick Setup, make connections, then press QUICKSET and select a Quick Setup. You are
prompted for the settings for that Quick Setup.
The Quick Setups include Voltage Waveform, Current Waveform, Interval Measure, and External
Scan. Descriptions of the Quick Setups and brief information about the settings are provided in the
following topics.
Voltage Waveform Quick Setup
The Voltage Waveform Quick Setup helps you set up Digitize Voltage measurements and displays
the results on the Graph screen. You are prompted to set the sample rate, sample count, and signal
amplitude when you select the Voltage Waveform Quick Setup. The instrument is reset before these
settings are applied.
The sample rate defines the precise acquisition rate at which the digitizing measurements are made.
The count sets the number of measurements to digitize when a measurement is requested.
The signal amplitude allows the instrument to select a fixed range that is large enough to measure
your signal.
When the settings are complete, the Graph screen is displayed with the measure results.
