Safety Notices CAU T ION A CAUTION notice denotes a hazard. It calls attention to an operating procedure, practice, or the like that, if not correctly performed or adhered to, could result in damage to the product or loss of important data. Do not proceed beyond a CAUTION notice until the indicated conditions are fully understood and met. Manual Part Number 34401-90004 Edition Seventh Edition. [. . . ] The resolution parameter only affects the front-panel display. CONFigure:RESistance {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and configure the multimeter for 2-wire ohms measurements with the specified range and resolution. This command does not initiate the measurement. CONFigure:FRESistance {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and configure the multimeter for 4-wire ohms measurements with the specified range and resolution. This command does not initiate the measurement. 4 119 Chapter 4 Remote Interface Reference The MEASure?and CONFigure Commands CONFigure:FREQuency {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and configure a frequency measurement with the specified range and resolution. This command does not initiate the measurement. For frequency measurements, the multimeter uses one "range" for all inputs between 3 Hz and 300 kHz. With no input signal applied, frequency measurements return "0". CONFigure:PERiod {<range>|MIN|MAX|DEF}, {<resolution>|MIN|MAX|DEF} Preset and configure a period measurement with the specified range and resolution. This command does not initiate the measurement. Returns "0" (OFF) or "1" (ON). 4 121 Chapter 4 Remote Interface Reference Measurement Configuration Commands <function>:RESolution {<resolution>|MINimum|MAXimum} Select the resolution for the specified function (not valid for frequency, period, or ratio). Specify the resolution in the same units as the measurement function, not in number of digits. MIN selects the smallest value accepted, which gives the most resolution. MAX selects the largest value accepted which gives the least resolution. [Stored in volatile memory] <function>:RESolution?[MINimum|MAXimum] Query the resolution for the selected function. For frequency or period measurements, the multimeter returns a resolution setting based upon a 3 Hz input frequency. <function>:NPLCycles {0. 02|0. 2|1|10|100|MINimum|MAXimum} Select the integration time in number of power line cycles for the present function (the default is 10 PLC). This command is valid only for dc volts, ratio, dc current, 2-wire ohms, and 4-wire ohms. [Stored in volatile memory] <function>:NPLCycles?[MINimum|MAXimum] Query the integration time for the selected function. [. . . ] For the Agilent DC-7R, these functions are specified to measure down to 1% of the selected range. For example, the multimeter can measure down to 1 mV on the 100 mV range. 226 Chapter 8 Specifications Interpreting Multimeter Specifications Resolution Resolution is the numeric ratio of the maximum displayed value divided by the minimum displayed value on a selected range. Resolution is often expressed in percent, parts-per-million (ppm), counts, or bits. For example, a 61/2-digit multimeter with 20% overrange capability can display a measurement with up to 1, 200, 000 counts of resolution. [. . . ]
