Details
This command affects how the reading for a measurement is displayed on the front panel of the
instrument. It does not affect the number of digits returned in a remote command reading. It also does
not affect the accuracy or speed of measurements.
The display digits setting is saved with the function setting, so if you use another function, then return
to the function for which you set display digits, the display digits setting you set previously is retained.
The change in digits occurs the next time a measurement is made.
To change the number of digits returned in a remote command reading, use
format.asciiprecision
.
Example
smu.measure.func = smu.FUNC_DC_VOLTAGE
smu.measure.displaydigits = smu.DIGITS_6_5
Set the measurement function to voltage
with a front-panel display resolution of 6½.
