To Set the Resolution You can set the display resolution to 41⁄2, 51⁄2, or 61⁄2 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 51⁄2 digits at power-on and after a remote
interface reset.
•The resolution is fixed at 51⁄2 digits for continuity and diode tests.
•You can also vary the number of digits displayed using th e arrow keys
(however, the integration time is not changed).
Resolution is local to the selected f unction. This m eans that you can
select the resolution for each functi on independen tly. The mul timeter
remembers the resolution when y ou switch between functions.
