Current Measurement Configuration
This section contains information to help you configure the instrument
for making current measurements on the 34921A multiplexer module.
The module has four fused channels for direct dc and ac current
measurements on the ranges shown below.
Current measurements are allowed only on channels 41 through 44
on the 34921A module.
AC Low Frequency Filter
The instrument uses three different ac filters which enable you to either
optimize low- frequency accuracy or achieve faster ac settling times.
The instrument selects the slow (3 Hz), medium (20 Hz), or fast (300 Hz)
filter based on the input frequency that you specify for the selected
channels or the internal DMM.
Applies to ac current and ac voltage measurements only.
• The CONFigure and MEASure? commands automatically select the 20 Hz
(medium) filter.
• The instrument selects the default 20 Hz (medium) filter after a Factory
Reset ( *RST command). An Instrument Preset ( SYSTem:PRESet command) or
Card Reset ( SYSTem:CPON command) does not change the setting.
Front Panel Operation: DMM or Channel (Configure) > AC FILTER
Remote Interface Operation: Specify the lowest frequency expected in
the input signal on the specified channels. The instrument selects the
appropriate filter based on the frequency you specify (see table above).
[SENSe:]CURRent:AC:BANDwidth {3|20|200} [,(@<ch_list>)]
If you omit the optional <ch_list> parameter, the command applies to the
internal DMM.
