Basic Measurement Overview
Background Basic measurement refers to the eight types of
measurements assigned to the upper row keys on the front
panel.
ACV DCV ACI DCI 2/4W / Hz/P TEMP
Measurement
type ACV AC Voltage
DCV DC Voltage
ACI AC Current
DCI DC Current
2/4W 2-wire and 4-wire Resistance

TEMP Celsius/Fahrenheit Temperature
Advanced
measurement Advanced measurement (page 55) mainly refers to the
operation using the result obtained from one or more of the
basic measurements.
Refresh Rate
Background Refresh rate defines how frequently the GDM-8261
captures and updates measurement data. A faster refresh
rate yields a lower accuracy and resolution. A slower
refresh rate yields a higher accuracy and resolution.
Consider these tradeoffs when selecting the refresh rate.
For DC measurements, the frequency of the refresh rate
depends on the rate settings (S, M, F) and the ADC speed
settings (Accurate, Quick) (page 90 ).
For AC measurements, the refresh rate (S, M, F) is
directly tied to the AC bandwidth settings (page 84).
For further details, please see the specifications.
