Digits
The display resolution of the measured reading depends on the DIGITS setting. The default display
resolution setting is 6.5 digits. The DIGITS setting selects display resolution for all
measurement functions.
The DIGITS setting has no effect on the format of readings returned by a print() command over a
remote interface. To adjust the format of remote interface readings, see format.asciiprecision (on
page 9-100).
The number of displayed digits does not affect accuracy or speed. Accuracy and speed are controlled
by the SPEED setting (see Speed (on page 2-50)).
Setting display resolution from the front panel
To set the display resolution, press the DIGITS key until the correct number of digits is displayed.
Available display resolutions are 4.5, 5.5, and 6.5 digits.
For 2602B, 2604B, 2612B, 2614B, 2634B, and 2636B when they are in dual-channel display mode,
the maximum display resolution is 4.5 digits. Pressing the DIGITS key displays a message that
advises you to change the display to the indicated channel. This message is also displayed in
single-channel display mode when you press the DIGITS key for the channel that is not being
displayed.
