Keysight Technologies 34410A - Configuring Frequency and Period Measurements; Configuring Resistance Measurements

34410A/11A/L4411A User’s Guide 45
Features and Functions 2
• NULL: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the null measurement feature,
which measures the difference between a stored null value and the input signal.
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value (if enable
d).
Configuring Resistance Measurements
For 2–wire and 4–wire resistance measurements, your menu selections are:
INTEGRATION, RANGE, OFFSET COMP, AUTO ZERO, NULL and NULL VALUE.
• INTEGRATION: Allows you to set the integration time for the measurement in tw
o
ways; in power–line cycles (NPLC) or in seconds (APERTURE).
• RANGE: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range using th
e
autoranging feature (select AUTO), or you may select a fixed range (select
MANUAL).
• OFFSET COMP: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the of
fset
compensation feature. With offset compensation enabled, the multimeter makes a
normal resistance measurement first, followed by a second measurement to
determine any offset voltage in the input circuitry. The resultant displayed
measurement corrects for this offset. Enabling offset compensation increases
measurement time.
• AUTO ZERO: Allows you to enable for all readings (ON), enable for one reading
(ONCE), or disable (OFF) the auto zero feature, which subtracts a subsequent zero
reading from each measurement.
• NULL: Allows you to enable (ON) or disable (OFF) the null measurement feature,
which measures the difference between a stored null value and the input signal.
• NULL VALUE: Allows you to view and edit the null value (if enabled).
Configuring Frequency and Period Measurements
For frequency and period measurements, your menu selections are: CONFIGURE,
GATE TIME, RANGE, AC FILTER, NULL and NULL VALUE.
• CONFIGURE: Allows you to select either FREQUENCY or PERIOD as the primary
measurement.
• GATE TIME: Allows you to select one of four choices (0.001, 0.01, 0.1, or 1) fo
r
gate time, in seconds.
• RANGE: Allows you to let the multimeter automatically select the range using th
e
autoranging feature (select AUTO), or you may select a fixed range (select
MANUAL).
