4.1.3 Resolution Setting (Digits)
Definition
Resolution is the number of digits a multimeter can measure. User can
select the resolution for a specific measurement. The choices for the
resolution setting are: fast 4.5, slow 4.5, fast 5.5, slow 5.5, fast 6.5 and
slow 6.5. For a higher accuracy, user can select 6.5 digit resolution. For
a faster measurement, user can select 4.5 digit resolution.
The resolution setting applies to all math operations under the selected
measurement function. The selected value is stored in a volatile memory
and the setting is only valid for the current measurement function. User
can select different resolution for different measurement function.
Default
The default value for the resolution is slow 5.5 digit and the default value
will be restored when the meter has been turned off or after a remote
interface reset. The user selected value for the resolution setting is
stored in a volatile memory and the setting is only valid for the current
measurement function. Please refer to Table 2-1 on page 24.
※ Note: The resolution setting for AC measurements is actually fixed at
6 ½ digits. When user selects a lower resolution, the meter will mask out
the extra digits. User’s selection of resolution for AC function will not
affect the actual speed or accuracy.
How to set the resolution
The resolution can be set either through the front panel or the remote
interface operation.
