Advanced
measurement
Advanced measurement (page19) mainly refers to the operation using the result
obtained from one or more of the basic measurement.
2-2. Common attribute: refresh rate
Background
Refresh rate defines how frequently the DL-2052 captures and updates the
measurement data. Faster refresh rate yields lower accuracy and resolution.
Slower refresh rate yields higher accuracy and resolution. Consider these
trade-offs when selecting the refresh rate.
Range
S
5 1/2 digits(119999 count)
M
4 1/2 digits
F
3 1/2 digits
Selection step
1.
Press the Shift key followed by the AUTO
(RATE) key. The refresh rate switches to the
next.
2.
The refresh rate indicator shows the current
status.

2-3. Common attribute: reading indicator
Background
The reading indicator
next to the 1st display flashes according to the
refresh rate setting.
When no data is captured When there is no captured data, the reading indicator flashes once every two
seconds (slower than the normal refresh rate), indicating the DMM is in the
waiting mode.
2-4. Common attribute: manual/automatic triggering
Automatic triggering
(default)
The DL-2052 triggers according to the refresh rate. See the previous page for
refresh rate setting details.
