This chapter contains information about how to change parameters and
settings for your measurements and all the details about each feature
and function.
4.1 Measurement Configuration
The following information will guide you through ways to configure
measurement functions. It provides you the flexibility to change any
parameter in any measurement function when needed, including ADC
setting, filter, resolution setting (digits), DC input resistance, threshold
resistance (continuity), range (manual & auto), rate (integration time),
sensor type for temperature measurements and remote interface
selection.
4.1.1 Set ADC (Auto Zero)
Zero
The purpose of Auto Zero function is to minimize the offset influence on
your measurements. When Auto Zero is enabled, M3510A/11A takes the
input signal reading as a base value and then internally disconnects the
input signal, and takes an offset reading (a null offset). It then subtracts
the offset from the base to get an accurate measurement.
Displayed reading = Base value (input signal) – Offset value
When the Auto Zero is enabled the meter takes an offset reading for each
subsequent measurement. However, when Auto Zero is disabled, the
meter only takes one offset reading each time when you change the
function settings.
Defaults
The default setting for Auto Zero is enabled
