Setting Measurement Time


The measurement time setting allows you to alter the speed at which measurements are made. Three choices exist: Slow, Medium, and Fast. The test set defaults to Medium. Slow measurement time provides a more repeatable measurement at the expense of time, and is done by increasing the number of slots that are measured. Fast measurement time provides a quicker measurement at the expense of repeatablity, and is done by decreasing the number of slots that are measured. Medium measurement time strikes a balance between measurement speed and repeatability.
