measures the input signal. The “reference” and “reference zero” phases are associated with a
precision voltage reference inside the SourceMeter. By measuring all three phases, zero drift
for the reading is reduced. A/D conversion time is programmable with 0.01 power line cycle
resolution.
When Auto-Zero is enabled, all three phases are measured each time the SourceMeter is
triggered. With Auto-Zero disabled, only the “signal” is measured. Hence, speed is increased at
the expense of long term drift.
Firmware overhead
This is the time associated with A/D communication, reading calibration, and other opera-
tions necessary to perform the SDM cycle. This time is not illustrated in the following timing
diagrams.

Trigger Latency: 225µsec max
Source Configuration: 50µsec max
A/D Conversion: [NPLC Setting × (1/power line frequency)] + 185
