An F in a column indicates the corresponding heading item is false for that reading. For example, if an
F i
s listed in the Math column, it indicates that the item was not used or did not occur on that reading.
A T in a column indicates that the corresponding heading item is true for that reading. For example, if
a T is listed in the Math column, it indicates that the item was applied to that reading.
Heading Description
Index
Provides an identifier for each reading
Reading
Measured value for each reading
Unit
Indicates the unit of measure for the reading; values may be any of the
following: Volt, Amp, Ohm, or Watt
Range Digits
Positive full-scale value of the measurement range that the instrument is
presently using; values may be any of the following:
".000000001", ".00000001", ".0000001",
".000001", ".00001", ".0001", ".001", ".01",
".1", "1", "10", "100", "1000", "10000", "100000",
"1000000", "10000000", "100000000", "1000000000",
"10000000000", "100000000000"
Disp Digits
The number of digits that are displayed for measurements on the front
panel. Values may be
3.5
,
4.5
,
5.5
, or
6.5
Math
T when Math is ON; F when Math is off
Limit1 High
Specifies that the upper limit for limit 1 has been exceeded
Limit1 Low
Specifies that the lower limit for limit 1 has been exceeded
Limit2 High
Specifies that the upper limit for limit 2 has been exceeded
Limit2 Low
Specifies that the lower limit for limit 2 has been exceeded
Terminal
Specifies which set of input and output terminals the instrument was
using when the measurements were made; values may be any of the
following:
Front
or
Rear
Questionable
T or F
Origin
The A/D converter from which the reading originated; for the 2470, this
will always be Main.
Value
Value is the source value when the reading was taken; if readback is
ON, it is the measured source value; otherwise, it is the programmed
value
Digits
Source digits
Unit
Units of measure of the source; values may be any of the following:
Volt, Amp, Ohm, or Watt
Output
On or Off
Sense
2W or 4W
Source Limit
T indicates that the source limit was exceeded; F indicates that the
source limit was not exceeded
Overtemp
T indicates that the instrument is in an overtemperature state; F indicates
that the instrument is not in an overtemperature state
Date
Date the readings were made
Time
Time the readings were made
Fractional Seconds
Fractional portion of the timestamp (in seconds) when each reading was
made; fractional seconds are the fractional part of an absolute
timestamp, for example, the fractional part of the 11:11:23.45678
timestamp is .45678
