Integration Time and Resolution
Integration time is the period during which the multimeter‟s analog-to-digital
(A/D) converter samples the input signal for a measurement. The longer the
integration time, the slower the measurement speed will be and the higher the
resolution will be. The shorter the integration time, the faster the measurement
will be and the lower the resolution will be. The integration time applies to DCV,
DCI, 2WR and 4WR measurements.
T3DMM6-5 expresses the integration time by the number of power line cycles,
the unit is PLC. The multimeter automatically detects the input power line
frequency at power-on. If the frequency is 50Hz, the integration time can be set
to 0.005PLC, 0.05PLC, 0.5PLC, 1PLC, 10PLC, 100PLC and the default is
10PLC. If the frequency is 60Hz, the Integration time can be set to 0.006PLC,
0.06PLC, 0.6PLC, 1PLC, 10PLC, 100PLC and the default is 10PLC .
T3DMM6-5 can make measurements with reading resolutions of 4½, 5½ and
6½ digits. It automatically selects a reading resolution according to the
measurement settings.
