[SENSe[1]:]MRATe <character_data>
This command sets the measurement rate on the U8480 Series.
The U8480 Series can operate in three different measurement rates as shown in
the following table.
[a] Minimum acquisition time is the minimum time for the U8480 Series to complete a measurement cycle. The time includes integration time
and settling time.
[b] In the Fast mode, the minimum acquisition time is the same as integration time. Integration time is defined as the period during which the
analog-to-digital (A/D) converter of the U8480 Series samples the input signal for a measurement.
When the measurement rate is set to Fast, the following couplings occur:
[a] This change only occurs on the measurement specified in the [SENSe[1]:]MRATe command. When the measurement rate
is changed from Fast to either Double or Normal, the settings that were in place when Fast was entered are restored.
