You can check the following matters using the real-time noise monitor in order to
improve your current measurement environment and condition.
• Influence for current measurement by external noise
• Noise reducing effect
After completing the whole current measurement setup, start the real-time noise

• X axis: Aperture time (in PLC) with logarithmic scaling.
• Horizontal line (yellow): Measured current level
• Vertical line (yellow): Present aperture time setting
• Green area: Current noise level
