4.1.7 Rate (Integration Time)
Definition
Integration time is the period of time the analog-to-digital (A/D)
converter takes to sample the input signal. The integration time
feature allows you to optimize either the speed or the resolution, as
well as the noise rejection and the accuracy of the measurement. The
unit of the integration time is in PLC (power line cycles). One PLC for
60 Hz is 16.67 ms, and for 50 Hz is 20 ms.
There are 4 different integration times in ATM3500A for you to select
from: 0.02, 0.1, 1 and 10 PLCs.
Default
For DCV, DCI, and resistance measurement, the default integration
time is 1 PLC. The user selected value is stored in a volatile memory
and the default value will be restored when the meter is power-off.
