[1] Within one hour of zero, using Relative control. Accuracy is specified for values higher than 5% of the selected
range with the exception of the 1,200 pF range.
This Measurement is independent of set Aperture and Read Interval. If desired, the DMMSetCapsAveSamp()
function may be used to control measurement parameters. It is provided
means to fine tune the measurement timing for
the application, trading off accuracy for speed.
Measurement time will vary as function of the set parameters, selected range and measured capacitance. The following are
measurement times associated with the default parameters, as range is selected.
