Agilent Technologies 34401A - Manual (Page 27)

To Set the Resolution
You can set the display resolution to 4 1 ⁄
2
, 5 1 ⁄
2
, or 6 1 ⁄
2
digits either to
optimize measurement speed or noise rejection. In this book, the most
significant digit (leftmost on the display) is referred to as the “
1 ⁄
2
” digit,
since it can only be a “0” or “1.”
• The resolution is set to 5 1 ⁄
2
digits at power-on and after a remote
interface reset.
• The resolution is fixed at 5 1 ⁄
2
digits for continuity and diode tests.
• You can also vary the number of digits displayed using the arrow keys
(however, the integration time is not changed).
Resolution is local to the selected function. This means that you can
select the resolution for each function independently. The multimeter
remembers the resolution when you switch between functions.
