Rigol DM858 - To Set the Measurement Rate; Basic Measurement Functions

• The range of the Frequency is from 20 Hz to 100 kHz. Once exceeding the range,
the instrument does not display the Overload prompt message, but the accuracy
of the measurement results cannot be guaranteed.
• The range is automatically set to AUTO after a reset.
• Auto range is recommended if you are not sure about the measurement range
so as to protect the instrument and obtain accurate data.
• The ranges for continuity test and diode measurement are fixed. The fixed range
for Continuity test is 1 kΩ; and the fixed range of DIODE measurement is 2.1 V.
5.2 To Set the Measurement Rate
The multimeter provides three measurement rates: Fast, Medium, and Slow.
The measurement rate can be adjusted by using the Left and Right arrow keys on the
front panel. Press to increase the rate and press to decrease the rate.
Remarks:
1. Three measurement rates are available to choose for the DCV, DCI, ACV, ACI, 2WR,
and 4WR measurements.
2. The reading resolution is correlated to the measurement rate.
- Slow corresponds to 5.5 reading resolution;
- Medium and Fast correspond to 4.5 reading resolution;
- Sensor has a fixed 5.5 reading resolution which corresponds to Slow;
- Continuity and Diode have a fixed 4.5 reading resolution which corresponds to
Fast;
- Frequency/Period has a fixed 5.5 reading resolution which corresponds to Slow;
- Capacitance has a fixed 3.5 reading resolution which corresponds to Slow.
