noise rejection and the accuracy of the measurement. The unit of the

integration time is in PLC (power line cycles). One PLC for 60 Hz is 16.67

ms, and for 50 Hz is 20 ms.

There are 4 different integration times in 1201 for user to select from:

0.02, 0.1, 1 and 10 PLCs.

Default

For DCV, DCI, and resistance measurement, the default integration time

is 1 PLC. The user selected value is stored in a volatile memory and the

default value will be restored when the meter is power-off.

How to set the integration time:

You can set the integration time either through the front panel operation

or through the remote interface operation.

Front Panel Operation

Integration time is set indirectly when user selects the measurement

resolution. Please refer to chapter 4.1.3 for details about how to set

resolution or the digits. Table 4-1 on page 51 shows the relationship

between the resolution and the integration time.

Remote Interface Operation

Use the following commands on your PC terminal to set the resolution.

CONFigure:< function> <range>, <resolution>

MEASure:< function>? <range>, <resolution>

SENSe:< function>:RESolution <resolution>

Or you can set integration time directly by the following commands.

SENSe:VOLTage:DC:NPLCycles {0.02|0.1|1|10|MINimum|MAXimum}

SENSe:VOLTage:DC:NPLCycles? [MINimum|MAXimum]

SENSe:CURRent:DC:NPLCycles {0.02|0.1|1|10|MINimum|MAXimum}

SENSe:CURRent:DC:NPLCycles? [MINimum|MAXimum]

SENSe:RESistance:NPLCycles {0.02|0.1|1|10|MINimum|MAXimum}

SENSe:RESistance:NPLCycles? [MINimum|MAXimum]
