For frequency and period measurements, aperture time (or gate time) is

analogous to integration time

,

and you can use the following commands

to set it.

Specify 10 ms (4.5 digits), 100 ms (default; 5.5 digits), or 1

4.1.8 Sensor Selection for Temperature

Measurements

The multimeter supports both thermocouple and RTD. User needs to

configure the multimeter for the right sensor type before they can make

temperature measurements.

RTD

Definition

If you are using RTD, the options are: PT100, D100, F100, PT385,

PT3916, user-defined RTD, NTCT and SPRTD. If you need to change the

factors that are used to calculate the temperature in RTD, choose

user-defined RTD in which you are able to change any factors as you wish.

The default factors used are listed in Table 4-3:
