Measurement Functions
Integration Time

Medium

Medium integration time is 1 PLC (power line cycle).

Setting

Press Medium front-panel key.

Integration time

depends on the power line cycle. cannot change this value.
(for example, 20 ms for 50 Hz)

If you measure current in the 1 nA or lower ranges by using SMUs, integration time
of SMUs is automatically changed as follows:

Long

Long integration time is effective when you need high resolution and noise
reduction measurement. But the measurement speed is slow.

Setting

Press Long front-panel key.

Integration time

2 PLC to 100 PLC with 1 PLC resolution

Initial setting

16 PLC

When an 4155B/4156B measures current in 1 nA or lower ranges by using HRSMU,
integration time of HRSMU is automatically changed to longer integration time
(maximum 100 PLC) than specified.
