BASIC OPERATION
74
The delay of the SDM cycle can make the source
stabilize before the measurement. The source delay
can be manually set from 0000.00000 seconds to
9999.9990 seconds using Delay setting box; if the Auto
delay is Enabled, the delay time depends on the
presently selected source range.
The manually set delay (up to 9999.999 seconds) can
be used to compensate for the longer setting time
required by the external circuit. The more capacitance
at the output, the longer stabilization time the source
will require. The actual delay time required can be
calculated or determined by trial and error. For purely
resistive loads or at higher current, the delay time can
be programmed to 0ms.
The measurement time depends on the selected
Speed. For example, if the Speed is programmed to
0.01 PLC (power line cycle), the measurement time for
60Hz operation (0.01/60) is 167μs.
The Delay option is used to manually set the delay
from 000.00000 seconds to 9999.99900 seconds.
Manually setting the delay time need to program the
Auto delay option to Disable. The default Auto delay
option is Disable, and the Delay time depends on the
selected range.
Move the cursor to the Auto delay option box. When
Enable is selected, the delay time is automatically
