Disabling the measurement period definition
The integration period can be set as infinite or can be defined together with the
Repetition Cycles
number. The
Integr. Period Inf
position defines if the period
during which the signal is being measured is infinite or not. If the
Integr. Period Inf
parameter is switched on then the signal will be averaged all
the time until the
<Stop>
push-button is pressed and the measurement is
stopped. If integration period is infinite, then two next positions become inactive.
Measurement period
The
Integr. Period
position (integration
period) defines the period during which the
signal is being measured (integrated) and
stored as the
Summary Results
. The
integration period can be set in the special
window, which is opened by pressing the
◄
or
► push- buttons.
►
The measurement will stop automatically after this period, or the measurement will start again when the selected
Repetition Cycle
is greater than one. The definitions of the measurement results in which the integration period
is used is given in App. D.
To set the integration period the user should define the required hours, minutes
and seconds fields.
▪
The appropriate field may be selected by pressing the
◄ or ► push-
buttons.
▪
Value of hour, minute and second is changing by means of the
▲
or
▼
push- buttons.
Number of measurement repetitions
The
Repetition Cycles
position defines the number of cycles (with the
measurement period defined by
Integration Period
) to be performed by the
instrument. The
Repetition Cycles
number values are within the limits [1, 1000].
Detector type
The
RMS Integration
position defines the detector type for the calculations of
the
RMS
function. Two options are available: linear (
Lin
) and exponential (
Exp
).
The formulae used for the
RMS
calculation are given in Appendix D.
Selecting
Lin
is required to obtain the true RMS value of the measured signal.
The user can easily get into the
General Settings
screen
during
the
measurement performance from the result
view. It is necessary to enter some result
field (for example,
RMS
) with the use of
