3.1.3 Resolution Setting (Digits)
Definition
Resolution is the number of digits a multimeter can measure. User can select the
resolution for a specific measurement. The choices for the resolution setting are: fast 4
1/2, slow 4 1/2, fast 5 1/2, slow 5 1/2, fast 6 1/2 and slow 6 1/2. For a higher accuracy,
user can select 6 1/2 digit resolution. For a faster measurement, user can select 4 1/2 digit
resolution.
The resolution setting applies to all math operations under the selected measurement
function. The selected value is stored in a volatile memory and the setting is only valid
for the current measurement function. User can select different resolution for different
measurement function.
Default
The default value for the resolution is slow 5 1/2 digit and the default value will be restored
when the meter has been turned off or after a remote interface reset. The user selected
value for the resolution setting is stored in a volatile memory and the setting is only valid
for the current measurement function. Please refer to
Table 2-1
on
page 14.
※
Note: The resolution setting for AC measurements is actually fixed at 6 ½ digits.
When user selects a lower resolution, the meter will mask out the extra digits. User’s
selection of resolution for AC function will not affect the actual speed or accuracy.
How to set the resolution
The resolution can be set either through the front panel or the remote interface
operation.
