High Voltage SourceMeter Instrument Reference Manual Section 3:
2470-901-01 Rev. A / May 2019 3-23
Setting Description
Auto Range Low
Limit
Set the Auto Range Low Limit to prevent the instrument from
selecting a range that is lower than appropriate for your application.
Display Digits
Sets the number of digits that are displayed for front-panel
readings. It does not affect accuracy or speed. Refer to Setting the
number of displayed digits (on page 3-40).
NPLCs
Set the amount of time that the input signal is measured. Lower
NPLC settings result in faster reading rates, but increased noise.
Higher NPLC settings result in lower reading noise, but slower
Auto Zero
Set Auto Zero to On to set the instrument so that it periodically gets
new measurements of its internal ground and voltage reference.
This setting increases measurement accuracy, but may slow
Count
Sets the number of readings that are processed when a
measurement is requested.
Offset Compensation
The offset compensation setting is only available when the
instrument is set to measure resistance (SVMR(Ω) or SIMR(Ω)).
Turn this setting on to improve low-resistance measurement
Measure Calculations menu
The Calculations menu contains settings that specify the way measurement
information is processed and returned.
Relative offset
Setting Description
Rel
Use the relative offset feature to subtract a set value or a baseline
reading from measurement readings. When you enable relative
offset, all subsequent measurements are displayed as the
difference between the actual measured value and the relative
Rel Value
Sets the relative offset value to be applied to measurements.
