Metering Keys

Metering keys control the metering functions of the dc source. When the unit is operating in front
panel meter mode, all front panel measurements are calculated from a total of 2048 readings taken
at a 46.8 microsecond sampling rate. Therefore, the total acquisition time for a single front panel
measurement is about 100 milliseconds. Refer to “Making Front Panel Measurements” for more
information.

NOTE:

You can vary the both the sampling rate and the number of data points in each
measurement when controlling the unit over the HP-IB interface. (Refer to chapter
3 in the Programming Guide).

Press this key to access the meter menu list. Also use this key to exit a menu at
any time and return to meter mode.
