Current Measurement Configuration 
To connect a current source to the module’s screw terminals, see page 39. 
This section contains information to help you configure the instrument for making 
current measurements on the 34901A multiplexer module. This module has two 
fused channels for direct DC and AC current measurements on the measurement 
ranges shown below.
AC low frequency filter 
The instrument uses three different AC filters which enable you to either optimize 
low frequency accuracy or achieve faster AC settling times. The instrument selects 
the slow, medium, or fast filter based on the input frequency that you specify for 
the selected channels. 
Applies to AC current and AC voltage measurements only. 
– The instrument selects the medium filter (20 Hz) when the function is changed 
or after a Factory Reset (*RST command). An Instrument Preset 
(SYSTem:PRESet command) or Card Reset (SYSTem:CPON command) 
does not change the setting.

Current measurements are allowed only on channels 21 and 22 on the 34901A 
module.
