Details
This command specifies the relative offset value that can be applied to new measurements. When
relative offset is enabled, all subsequent digitized readings are offset by the value that is set for this
command.
You can set this value, or have the instrument acquire a value. If the instrument acquires the value,
read this setting to return the value that was measured internally.
If you have math, limits, or filter operations selected, you can set the relative offset value to include
the adjustments made by these operations. To include these operations, set
smu.digitize.rel.level
to
smu.digitize.read()
. The adjustments from these operations
are not used if you use the
smu.digitize.rel.acquire()
function to set the relative offset
level.
Example
smu.digitize.func = smu.FUNC_DIGITIZE_CURRENT
smu.digitize.rel.level = smu.digitize.read()
smu.digitize.rel.enable = smu.ON
Set the digitize function to digitize current.
Set the relative offset level to be the reading
with any calculations included.
Enable the relative offset.

Details
The sample rate determines how fast the Model 2461 acquires a digitized reading.
Set the sample rate before setting the aperture. If the aperture setting is too high for the selected
sample rate, it is automatically adjusted to the highest aperture that can be used with the sample rate.
