3.

Where possible run excitation leads and
signal leads in separate shields to minimize
transients.

4.

AVOID PVC INSULATED CONDUCTORS
to minimize the effect of dielectric
absorption on input settling time.

5.

Use the CR7 to measure the input settling
error associated with a given configuration.
For example assume long leads are

required but the lead capacitance, Cw, is

unknown. Configure Rf on a length of cable

similar to the measurement. Leave the
sensor end open as shown in Figure 13.3-8
and measure the result using the same
instruction parameters to be used with the
sensor. The measured deviation from 0V is
the input settling error.
