DC Voltage
Range Note:
DC voltages with AC components cannot be accurately
measured if the DC+AC component exceed the ADC
dynamic range for the selected DC range. Any voltage
exceeding the ADC dynamic range will be clipped at the
upper/lower range limit. Under these conditions the range
that is chosen with the Auto range function may be too
small.
Example:
A
+2V
0V
-2V
C

E
DC 1V Range
A,B: Input exceeds the ADC
dynamic range.
C,D: The DCV offset causes
the input to exceed the upper
ADC dynamic range.
E: The DCV offset causes the
input to exceed the lower
ADC dynamic range.
