For Current the specified Inaccuracy is valid for Irradiation times > 100 ms. Below
that, the inaccuracy of the time will also affect. This since the Current is calculated
as the Charge divided by the Irradiation time. Please see section Waveforms and
Triggers for further description.

Note 1: To get access to the wide range of the EMM-BiasW, "very high" sensitivity must be
chosen. This alternative is only possible to choose in free run mode or in timed mode. See also
section Update Modes .
