4.7 Applying Current Only When Measuring (Current Mode Setting)
50
When the Contact Improver function is set to Pulse or disabled (CONT IMP: PULSE or OFF) and
measurement current is set for pulse output, open-circuit voltage when not measuring does not
exceed 20 mV.
See: "4.5 Improving Probe Contact (Contact Improver Function)" (p. 47)
When the Contact Improver function is enabled (CONT IMP: PULSE or ON setting), the current mode setting
is ignored even if set to continuous (CURRENT MODE: CONT setting). The Contact Improver function forces
pulse operation with measurement current applied only during measurement.
