value
value
The threshold setting. The range for:
▪
Continuity is from 1 to 1000
▪
Frequency and period is from 0 to 303 V
Details
This attribute is only valid when
dmm.func
is set to
"frequency"
,
"period"
, or
"continuity"
.
All other functions generate an error and return nil when queried.
The range setting conditions the signal. The instrument automatically selects the most sensitive
threshold range for the value you enter. For example, if you specify the expected input voltage to be
90 mV, the instrument automatically selects the 100 mV threshold range.
Errors are generated if the parameter value does not make sense for selected function.
The threshold value is saved with the
dmm.func
function setting, so if you use another function, then
return to
"frequency"
,
"period"
, or
"continuity"
, the threshold value you set previously is
retained.
Example
dmm.func = "frequency"
dmm.threshold = 30
Sets the threshold range for frequency to 30.
