This chapter contains information about how to change the parameters and settings
for your measurements and all the details about each feature and function.
3.1 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),
threshold resistance (continuity), range (manual & auto), rate (integration time),
sensor type for temperature measurements and remote interface selection.
3.1.1 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, DL-1060 takes the input signal reading as
a base value and then internally disconnects the input signal, and takes a 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. User can set
“
PERIOD
”
to
change the time interval for taking an offset reading.
Defaults
The default settings for Auto Zero is enabled
.
The user selected values for Auto Zero
are stored in a volatile memory and the default settings will be restored when the
meter is power-off.
